Skippy the dog released to CARE Southcoast in New Bedford - Fall River, MA - The Herald News: "The 4-year-old golden retriever that the Board of Selectmen voted to euthanize in January was released to the Center for Animal Rescue & Education Southcoast in New Bedford.

In a statement to town authorities, Selectmen Chairman Lawrence Ashley said almost all conditions for Skippy’s release were met. The selectmen set the conditions at a Feb. 25 meeting. He said Ruth Marshman, of CARE Southcoast, provided a $2,500 check to cover a portion of Skippy’s kennel costs at the Lakeville Animal Shelter, legal fees and security costs.

Marshman and supporters of a Free Skippy Facebook page raised money online for those costs, which were set by selectmen. She and other Skippy supporters raised additional funds for Skippy’s care."
