Vets today will surgically repair the jaw of the pit bull puppy surrendered recently to employees at Absolute Auto and Audio in Fulton by a customer. “The jaw was literally hanging from the dog’s head; only held on by skin and some tissue. The bones were completely severed off the dog,†according to its rescuers.
The injured puppy was surrendered to Rachel Dean at Absolute Auto in Fulton. “When the vet told me that he could save him, I said, Go for it!’†Rachel said. “They put him on a special diet to get his weight up because he was malnourished. The vet put a muzzle on his jaw; we hope that it heals back together.â€Â If not, Rockford will be transported to Cornell for surgery that could cost as much as $5,000.
Anyone wishing to contribute to Rockford’s recovery may do so at Fruit Valley Vet Clinic, 7100 Route 104, Oswego.
At about 2:57 a.m. today (July 2), Oswego Police were dispatched to a residence on East Sixth Street in the city. Upon arrival and initial investigation, it was determined that four men had allegedly engaged an adult male victim in a physical altercation outside the victim’s East Sixth Street residence. The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries, police said. The four alleged attackers were arrested a short time later.

A year ago, the Community Garden in memory of Heidi Allen at the intersection of State Route 104 and State Route 104B was both an eye sore and discouragement both to the community and family of Heidi Allen. The management of Sun Up #7 and Barrett Paving have blessed the community and family to restore the yard and Community Garden.
