Authorities reached out to the general public Monday for help in determining whoever left a passing away pup in a dumpster in Escondido last month.
At about 8:30 p.m. on April 28, the 6-week old, white Chihuahua young puppy was found wrapped in a towel in a dumpster at an apartment building in the 1000 block of Rock Springs Road, just eastern of Interstate 15, according to the San Diego Humane Society.
SDHS humane policemans responded and also took the tired pup to an after-hours emergency situation veterinary healthcare facility.
Vets identified the pup had liquid in its lungs, preventing him from getting adequate oxygen, according to SDHS. After exploring all alternatives, veterinarians chose to euthanize the young puppy.
“There are no cams in the apartment building where a person positioned this enduring puppy in a dumpster, so we are really hoping the area will assist us out,” said Chief of Humane Law Enforcement Bill Ganley. “If you saw something, please stepped forward. You can remain anonymous.”
Anybody with information on the instance is advised to call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 or submit a suggestion online at http://www.sdcrimestoppers.org.
Tipsters can be qualified for a $1,000 incentive.
The SDHS is also checking out 2 other deserted pet dog instances within the last two months in the San Diego area. On March 17, a 3-year-old American Pitbull Terrier was discovered dead from hunger at Alamosa Park in Oceanside.
On April 29, a seven- to eight-month-old pup was found dead, likely from malnourishment, in a crate on 62nd Street simply north of Akins Avenue in San Diego’s Encanto community.
SDHS authorities do not believe the three cases are related.
Believed pet cruelty or forget instances can be reported to the San Diego Humane Society at 619-299-7012.
The San Diego Humane Society’s schools are open-admission sanctuaries, meaning they will never ever avert a pet in demand.
