NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.\u00a0 \u2014 A Southern California woman who allegedly abandoned a dog with a 42-pound cancerous tumor has been charged with life-threatening animal abuse and neglect.<\/p>\n\n
Sherri Haughton of Newport Coast was charged Wednesday with four misdemeanors that carry a potential two-year jail sentence.<\/p>\n\n
A call to a woman of that name wasn’t answered Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n
Orange County prosecutors say Haughton dropped off her 7-year-old golden retriever, Henry, at an animal hospital in May and claimed she’d found him on a beach.<\/p>\n\n
Before it was removed, Henry’s stomach tumor had nearly doubled his body weight. He’s now living with a foster family and receiving cancer treatment.<\/p>\n\n
Officials say owners who can’t afford to treat their pets can turn them over to animal control or welfare agencies, which can foot the bill.
