6-Month-Old Puppy Injured That Is Suspected To Have Been Chemically Burned
The Kentucky Humane Society is asking for the public’s help identifying the owner of a six-month-old puppy injured that is suspected to have been chemically burned. The puppy, dubbed Alley, was found on Wednesday by Louisville Metro Solid Waste as they cleared debris from an alley in the area of 3326 Greenwood Avenue.
Discovered hiding under a bush with a severe leg injury, the Louisville Metro Animal Services were notified and rushed the puppy to their animal care center where veterinarians believe the dog may have suffered a chemical burn two weeks prior. An animal cruelty officer returned to the area – visited neighbors and investigated vacant homes, but no clues as to the identity of the owner have been found.
The Kentucky Humane Society has agreed to help Alley who was brought to the organization’s veterinarian staff early Thursday morning. In addition to the chemical burns, Alley also suffers from open wounds and missing skin. Stuck to her head and right front leg was a tar-like substance. Her wounds have been cleaned and bandaged, and she is receiving appropriate pain medication to ease her severe pain. At this time, Alley’s prognosis is unknown.
The public can help by donating online here. Anyone with information is asked to call Louisville Metro Animal Services at 502-473-PETS. Help Abbey get justice. Someone knows her previous owner and what happened. Be the voice for those who cannot speak.
