THATCHER, Ariz. The Geronimo Animal Rescue located on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation in eastern Arizona is raising a warning after two dogs were attacked by a rabid bobcat: Protect your pets.
“They’re both friendly and loving. They’re part of Tina’s family,” said Julie Cassadore, founder of the Geronimo Animal Rescue who spoke on behalf of the family whose animals were attacked.
Emori, a 2-month-old pup, and her older sibling 2-year-old Monkey were attacked by a bobcat that the family later learned had rabies.
