Flint, Michigan – The reward is growing for information about the abandonment of two caged German shepherds who were dumped in a Genesee County pond in late October. On Wednesday, Crime Stoppers announced a reward increase from $1,000 to $3,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever dumped the dogs.
The two dogs, a male and a female, were dumped in a black wire cage in Thread Lake off Lakewood Drive in Flint – they were found on October 28 after breaking out of the crate. The dogs were rescued by Genesee County Animal Control, but one dog, dubbed Ringo, had to be humanely euthanized because of his poor condition, including “Large, splintered pieces of ingested bone had caused GI perforation, a suspected necrotic stomach, and sepsis of the abdomen. He also had severe, long-standing damage to his right rear leg and permanent dislocation of the hip joint. A septic joint and osteomyelitis (severe bone infection) were also found in the right rear leg.”
To be eligible for the reward, tips must be made to Crime Stoppers. Information can be provided to Crime Stoppers of Flint & Genesee County at 1-800-422-JAIL (5245), on the P3 Tips mobile app, or online at www.P3Tips.com/488
