Last Friday members of the animal shelter staff, along with animal control officers from both Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven, conducted a dramatic rescue from a home on the Oak Bluffs/Vineyard Haven line. They entered the house to find that the owners had left the Island in June, leaving two dogs and two puppies at home in the care of a devoted pet sitter. Unfortunately the dogs were confined to a small area in the house and an even smaller dirt enclosure outdoors with no view of anything other than the sky.
