~~~~PLEASE HELP~~~~ A dog (since named Cocoa) was found in the town of Corinna and brought to the shelter. She was underweight and covered in feces and urine with lesions on her legs. It appeared that she was left in a cage to starve before someone decided to finally let her run free. We are still searching for any information on who committed this horrible abuse, neglect and abonment against Cocoa. If you have any information at all please call the Somerset Humane Society at 474-9534. http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/someret-humane-societymanager-dog-appears-neglected-malnourished_2011-04-08.html

PLEASE never approach a stray or injured animal. They can be dangerous. If you find one please call your local police or animal control officer. Sick, injured, and stray animals can get frightened easily. If you try to tame one or pick one up you are putting yourself and your loved ones at risk.
Please do not go into the fenced part without an employee. This area is for the animals to exercise in and for them to have one on one time with the employees. Thank you for your cooperation.
