Hamilton, OH – Last week, an abandoned puppy was found inside a closed drawstring bag that was left at Hamilton Park. Deputy Dog Warden Burkett took the puppy to American Friends Animal Society which has dubbed the puppy Ryder.
When Ryder first arrived, he was lethargic and weak. Though shelter staff knew he had gone through trauma, they wanted to rule out health problems. Testing revealed that he did not have the deadly parvo virus.
Two days after his arrival, the animal welfare agency shared a positive update with Facebook followers, writing:
The sweet guy has been through it and is improving everyday. Today he is up moving around his cage, wiggling his little butt, and crying for attention.
We have received A LOT of interest in lil Ryder. While we know he is adorable, he is still a part of a ongoing cruelty investigation.
The sheriff’s office has opened an animal cruelty investigation after receiving several tips from the public. The shelter is unsure when Ryder will be available for adoption because of the investigation.
Anyone interested in donating towards his care can do so at this link to the shelter.
