Ithaca … The Tompkins County SPCA rescued 7 dogs from a home in Newfield early Friday morning, assisting the FBI, DEA and Ithaca Police with the execution of a search warrant. TC SPCA Animal Control Officer Lynne Merchant received a call from the Ithaca Police Dispatch requesting her assistance in rescuing dogs from the house. The dogs – two boxers and five pit bulls- are in good condition, according to Officer Merchant, and are being cared for by the SPCA. “Most people don’t know how often animal welfare issues and crime go hand in hand,” said TC SPCA director Jeff Lydon. “We’re just glad to do our part.”
