A Wadsworth woman who left her 15-year-old blind and deaf dog in a box in a Walmart parking lot is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 30.

A 52-year-old woman abandoned her pug Agnes in a Walmart parking lot in Wadsworth on Nov. 30, according to the Wadsworth Police Department.
Agnes is blind and deaf, was treated for a double ear infection and appeared to need an eye and most of her teeth removed, according to the Medina County SPCA.

Agnes the pug was put into a foster home. The foster family decided to adopt her and make her as comfortable as possible in her old age, the Medina County SPCA said.

OMFG!!! I had a Mini Pin that went blind and had diabetes. The last thing I could have done was just abandoned her in a parking lot. I hate people.

Dirty ratbag of human vermin.
Inject her with meningitis and rabies and leave her out in the middle of nowhere

Cruel for the sake of being cruel.

Costs like 50 bucks to put a dog down, and this animal clearly has no quality of life left and should go.

Yeah, and be sure she's in a box. Not cardboard but heavy wood, nailed shut. I can't understand how anyone can own a pet for that long and be so fucking cruel.

Meningitis would kill her quick.
It literally almost killed me in a day.
Hurt so fucking bad, I prayed to God to make it stop, or let me die though.

A local woman who left her blind and deaf dog in a Wadsworth Walmart parking lot was sentenced Tuesday.

Wadsworth police found the pug, now named Agnes left behind in a box near the clothing donation bin back in November.

Rita Swartz claimed she reached out to local shelters for help but was turned down.

Agnes, who is 15 years old and blind and deaf, had a double ear infection and one of her eyes was in jeopardy of rupturing; her mouth was also infected with rotting teeth when she was rescued.

The judge sentenced her to 90 days in jail with 89 of those days suspended, plus five years of probation during which Swartz is not allowed to own another dog. Court fees were waived and there was no fine.

I can believe shelters wouldn't help because they have limited space and they aren't in the business of providing palliative care. There are however no shortage of pug and small breed rescues who do take animals like this and care for them. Fortunately Agnes seems to have wound up in exactly the kind of situation that a specialist rescue would have placed her but there was no need for her to be dumped like that.
