UPDATE | Beagles given to Angels for Animals being treated for heartworm

YOUNGSTOWN — Two beagles given to Angels For Animals this week after complaints about how they were being kept outside in frigid weather are in foster homes and improving.

Lisa Hill with Angels For Animals said today both dogs are being treated for heartworm, ear infections and they are in need of dental work.

The younger dog is about 6 years old and he will be adopted by the family that is fostering him, Hill said. She said his heartworm is not as serious as the other dog, who is 12.

Hill said the older dog will be in foster care for awhile because it will take longer to treat him. Anyone interested in adopting can go to Angels For Animals, 4750 W. South Range Road, Green Township, to fill out an application.

The dogs were kept in cages in a Stocker Avenue home on the East Side but were turned over to humane agents by their owner Monday because of all the complaints he had been receiving on social media about keeping them outside.
