Olean, NY – A puppy, discovered abandoned in a bag in Limestone, New York, on August 21 was so badly injured that he had to be humanely euthanized. According to the SPCA in Cattaraugus County, the injured puppy was found at 2165 US Rt 219 in Limestone, and troopers were notified because he was in such poor condition.
The animal welfare agency said that an exam revealed extensive injuries, including severe burns and infection across much of his body. He had a broken femur from being shot multiple times and was in kidney failure due to malnutrition. Humane euthanasia was recommended by the veterinarian due to the extensive injuries and immense pain that the puppy was in.
The agency is hoping that a member of the public will come forward with information about this puppy, and the cruelty case. The shelter writes:
