Spring Grove couple disowns Great Danes

WOODSTOCK – A Spring Grove couple accused of neglecting 17 Great Danes has relinquished ownership of the dogs to McHenry County Animal Control.

Patricia and Sal Messina turned in paperwork Wednesday giving up all rights in regard to the animals’ care, placement and medical treatment.

Last week, the Messinas were ordered to pay thousands of dollars by Monday for the dogs’ care while in the custody of McHenry County Animal Control.
