Warren, Ohio – According to Jason Cooke, Founder of the Healthy Hearts and Paws Project, a $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the death of a dog found dead in an Igloo doghouse.
Cooke said the Animal Welfare League received a call from someone alleging that a dog had been abandoned by tenants who previously resided at a residence on Linden Ave. Cooke describes the heartbreaking discovery at the property, writing:
Upon arrival, an igloo was discovered inside of a kennel behind the garage of the residence…no food was present and any water that was present appeared to have been collected from the rain…
Upon removal of the top of the igloo, an emaciated dog was discovered deceased — curled up in a ball…all ribs, hip bones, and spine were clearly visible and an oversized collar bore the telltale signs of a dog that starved to death…
Someone literally packed up their belongings and either forgot, or intentionally abandoned, this dog – leaving her to suffer an agonizing, slow death.
Anyone with information about this cruel incident is being asked to message The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project Facebook page.
