Article: St. Charles Pet Hospital Helps Cops Curb Abuse

A St. Charles emergency pet hospital has helped document the cause of death and evidence of prior abuse of a Chihuahua related to a domestic violence investigation by Glendale Heights police, according to Global Newswire Inc.

Emergency Veterinary Services of St. Charles, 530 Dunham Road, already works with the police and fire departments to treat pets that are suffering from smoke inhalation, have been shot or are suffering from trauma from a vehicle or fight, according to Global Newswire Inc. EVS spokeswoman Dr. Lynette D. Greenwood told Global Newswire Inc. said that in this case, “The Chihuahua's death is a tragic example of animal abuse right here in our own community. … If an individual is violent towards animals, early intervention can prevent continued animal abuse and potential domestic violence.”
