The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has exonerated Britney Spears of any supposed mistreatment of her pet Yorkshire terrier.
The Los Angeles branch of the animal welfare organization was reportedly alerted last week that pop singer Britney Spears was not taking proper care of her pet Yorkshire terrier.
“Access Hollywood” reported that SPCA received complaints from a number of people who maintained that they had seen the pup with a broken leg. Opinions differed though, with some saying the dog was wearing a cast and others saying it wasn’t.
SPCA president Madeline Bernstein confirmed to People magazine that its employees attempted to contact Britney and verify the nature of the complaints. The organization contacted Britney’s veterinarian.
He confirmed that London, the terrier, had suffered a mild fracture when someone accidentally stepped on the dog as it made its way into one of Brit’s closets. The veterinarian proved that London had received proper care.
The SPCA released a statement Monday, confirming the well-being and safety of London. The organization said it “has received written confirmation from a veterinarian that Britney Spears's dog London has received proper medical attention for a leg injury.”
“spcaLA would like to thank Ms. Spears for her cooperation on this matter as well as members of the public for their ongoing concern for the welfare of animals,” the group said in its statement.
Now that it has been cleared that the 25-year-old pop icon is taking adequate care of her pets, it remains to be determined whether the same can be said about her children.
The custody battle between Britney and former husband Kevin Federline is taking a nasty turn, with an investigation into the safety of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James looming ahead.
An unscheduled court hearing took place at L.A. County Superior Court on Monday, with Britney's lawyer, Dennis Wasser, Kevin Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, and a lawyer from the Los Angeles County Counsel assigned to the dependency court, attending.
