Wolcott Police are investigating Tails of Courage, which moved to that town from Danbury after the City filed a lawsuit for health and zoning violations in 2018.  Wolcott's Animal Control Officer told NBC that 6 puppies are sick and two have died from suspected parvovirus. 

Officials believe they were shipped from Texas to the animal rescue organization.  Preliminary testing on one of the deceased puppies also showed dehydration and emaciation. 

When officials did a check last week, things looked ok until they heard puppies in an isolation and food room.  A Watertown veterinarian treating three sick dogs told NBC he heard they were just being given subcutaneous fluid which in his opinion is inadequate, substandard care. 

Wolcott Animal Control says the land owner was told by Tails of Courage will be leaving his property by the end of the week.

The Danbury lawsuit was withdrawn this spring when Tails of Courage promised to no longer conduct business in Danbury.
