A West Side animal boarding business is under fire after a dog died in their care when it was left inside a vehicle last week as temperatures climbed to 90 degrees.
Last Thursday, a dog named Georgia was checked into K9 University Chicago, located at 2945 W. Lake St., in East Garfield Park, for a boarding stay, according to a Facebook post from the business. The dog arrived at the facility in a transport vehicle, but the driver didn’t see Georgia when the other animals inside the van were taken into the facility, according to the post.
Workers eventually found Georgia inside the van and attempted CPR, according to the post. The dog was taken to a veterinarian, according to the business. It was unclear how long it had taken workers to figure out Georgia had been left in the van. The dog was later pronounced dead.
