A DOG (WITH A RED COLLAR) WAS RESCUED FROM A SMALL ISLAND IN THE WATSONVILLE SLOUGH OVER THE WEEKEND. RESCUERS USED AN INFLATABLE RAFT TO GO GET THE EMACIATED, CONFUSED, AND LETHARGIC DOG OUT OF THE DUCKWEED NEAR PASADENA COURT. AS SOON AS RESCUERS GOT THE DOG TO SHORE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER, SO IT COULD BE TREATED BY A STAFF VETERINARIAN.
IT IS THOUGHT THE DOG MAY HAVE BEEN OUT IN THE SLOUGH AREA FOR A MONTH OR MORE.
