Oxford Dog Pound Investigated Over Alleged Theft of a Dog: Report

The Oxford dog pound has been shut down by First Selectman George R. Temple as State Police investigates the conduct of facility employees, the Republican-American reports.

The investigation centers on a complaint filed by a resident that Assistant Animal Control Officer Cori Wlasuk stole her dog four years ago, the Rep-Am reports.

Resident Vickie Tkacz said recently she saw a Newfoundland dog on Wlasuk’s Facebook page and claims it is hers, and she filed a police report, the Rep-Am reports. Tkacz said her dog got loose from her house in May 2011 and she thought it had been lost forever until recently, the Rep-Am reports.

Wlasuk claims she is innocent and all of the allegations are not true, the Republican-American reports.
