- Florida, USA -
The Davie Police Department is investigating after a dog was found in a dumpster, bleeding, after being shot.
The 5-year-old female furbaby was found on Sunday, June 11, 2023, in a dumpster behind the Tires Plus shop at 7520 W State Road 84.
She was then rushed to Broward Animal Care and in a Facebook post the agency wrote: “One of our field officers found Summer (A2297447) thrown in the trash behind a Tires Plus in Davie. The dog was shot through the neck and brought to Broward County Animal Care where our vets are taking great care of her. Luckily, the bullet didn’t hit any major arteries and Summer is expected to be OK.”
According to WSVN, as Summer was being examined, veterinarians scanned her for a microchip and luckily, she had one! It turned out that Summer was registered with the animal rescue group Humans and Animals United, that in the past had found her a home.
The rescue said in a Facebook post that the furbaby, whom they renamed Lily, is back in their care.
Dr. Paula Ferreira, with the Ferreira Animal Hospital, told Local 10 News that Lily was very lucky the bullet did not strike any vital arteries. She said the bullet wound in her neck is still visible. Dr. Ferreira explained: “It’s very close to everything important, the trachea, the artery.”
Police are actively investigating to track down the monster(s) responsible for this egregious crime.
If you have any information, please, do the right thing and come forward. Thank you!
