Operations Manager at Chicago Animal Care and Control Angela Rayburn, and Founder of Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control Charlie Propsom talk about how an abused dog named Sweetie was recently saved. Rayburn talks about prosecuting the abuser to the full extent of the law, and Propsom explains what the After Hours Veterinary Crisis Care Program is all about and how you can help.
