Man tied sickly dog to shelter fence

Police in Jonesboro, Arkanasa, have launched an animal cruelty investigation after a man tied a sickly dog to an animal shelter fence in freezing temperatures. The incident happened on Monday night when a man drove to the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society in a dark-colored Ford F150 truck, and left a young pit bull tied to the shelter fencing; the shelter was closed at the time.

The dog, dubbed Leah, was left outside for hours in 30-degree weather when the windchill made it feel like just 26-degrees. The police report provides insight to the abandoned dog’s condition:

The dog was not moving a lot and you could easily tell the dog was in pain. She flinched every time I touched her. Both of her eyes showed signs of infection. They had discharge coming from them and there was dried fluid around each eye.”

The animal shelter added:

We have photographs of her condition that we are choosing not to share due to their graphic nature, but we will share one photo so you can see her precious face. We named her Leah. May this beautiful girl run free over the Rainbow Bridge. We gave Leah the love she deserved at the very end of her life. We appreciate the Jonesboro Police Department & Jonesboro Animal Control very much.

Information needed

Anyone who recognizes the man, dog and/or truck is asked to reach out to the Jonesboro police at 870-935-5657 or Jonesboro animal control at 870-935-3920.

The shelter reminds the public that abandoning an animal is a crime.
