Authorities are looking for the vile male who shot and almost killed a Husky in Old Town Spring

- Texas, USA -

~ Update: August 9, 2022

The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office confirmed me in an email that the agency is investigating the incident and said: “as of today it is still an open and active. The video that was uploaded to social media , was done by a citizen from their business cameras. We received a copy of that for our investigation.”

~ Original story:

In July 2022, a 4-year-old Husky named Paco was shot and nearly killed in Old Town Spring.

ABC 13 reports that Paco and his sibling got out and went to Main Street. Cameras in the area caught the moment a male pulled out a gun, pointed it at Paco and started shooting. Paco can be seen collapsing after being shot.

Paco’s guardian, Ms. Edith Fuentes told ABC 13: “My dog almost died. My dog in the hospital cried, two days cried in the hospital.”

Sadly, Paco’s front left leg had to be amputated as doctors believed it was irreparably damaged.

Paco was a known jumper and he suddenly had to get used to his new devastating and unfair reality. Ms. Fuentes works multiple jobs and cannot afford a prosthetic leg for her furbaby.

Hopefully, a fundraiser can be set up to help Paco.

Ms. Fuentes told ABC 13 that she had had Paco since last year when he showed up at her house and never left. According to Ms. Fuentes, she tried to look for his guardian but no one came forward so Paco “became a big joy in their family”, reports ABC 13.

Ms. Fuentes and the community also hope the shooter will be found and held accountable.

She told ABC 13: “One lady (saw) how he shot my dogs, so I have proof. Please help me.”

Ms. Fuentes also said people don't feel comfortable coming forward as they fear retaliation.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigating the shooting and ABC 13 reports that a spokesperson told the news agency that “the person could face animal cruelty charges.”

I have emailed the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and asked if the case is still being investigated.

What prompted me to do so is the fact that I could not find a press release on this case on the sheriff's office website and their Facebook page does not have a post appealing to the public for information.

I hope Ms. Fuentes and Paco won’t be left alone!

Two dogs who had been missing since July, found shot dead in their head and their legs bound

- Iowa, USA -

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office said that on August 2, 2022, deputies were made aware of the killing of two dogs in the area of rural Cumberland.

According to the sheriff’s office, the two deceased dogs were found near a bridge on 660th Street, close to Tucson Road. Before being thrown over the bridge, both dogs had been shot in the head and their back legs had been bound. The sheriff’s office added that both furbabies had been missing since July 27, 2022.

FOX 34 identified Mr. Logan Lank as the dogs’ guardian.

Lank said that his dogs, a 1-year-old female Pitbull named Bella, and a 3-year-old black Labrador named Pepper, were snatched from his home in Cumberland. The bridge where Bella and Pepper were found is just two miles away from his home.

Lank told FOX 34 that when Bella and Pepper went missing, the community was a big help with the search which sadly ended with the heartbreaking discovery.

“All of the neighbors around here loved them. I’ve never had any complaints about them,” he said.

Additionally, according to Lank, the community has donated money towards a reward for any information that would lead to an arrest.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is investigating these murders and is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Cass County Sheriff Darby McLaren said whoever did it could face animal cruelty charges and believes, based on pictures, that the dogs were killed around the day they went missing.

Speak up for the VOICELESS VICTIMS. They deserve justice and their murderer deserves to begin his/her rotting process in prison first and then end it in hell!

Please, call the Cass County Sheriff’s Office at (712) - 243 - 2206. Thank you!

Investigation underway after tiny 1-year-old Chihuahua found abandoned and in terrible condition

- Massachusetts, USA -

The nonprofit Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) and the Malden Police Department are investigating after a tiny Chihuahua was found in Malden.

A Good Samaritan found the male 1-year-old furbaby, on Monday, July 25, huddling in some bushes along the East Coast Greenway bike trail in the area of Dell and Branch streets.

The pooch, named Bailey by the person who found him, was severely emaciated. The Good Samaritan wrapped him in a blanket and took him to the Malden Police Department.

In a news release ARL said that Bailey was initially treated at an animal hospital in Charlestown and later transferred to the ARL.

The agency further said that Bailey weighed just 2.7 pounds and scored 2 out of 9 on the body condition score index. The furbaby also suffered severe fur loss and scabs cover his body.

As if the scenario was not heartbreaking enough, Bailey also tested positive and is being treated for Giardia, a parasitic illness that may indicate he was living in unsanitary conditions.

ARL said: “when presented for medical treatment, the animal was described as ‘malodorous’ (filthy).”

“Bailey is receiving ongoing veterinary care, including medicated baths and a refeeding plan to ensure he gains weight slowly and safely”, said the ARL.

I have emailed Mr. Mike DeFina, Communications & Media Relations Officer for the ARL and asked how Bailey is doing and whether vets are optimistic about his full recovery.

Mr. DeFina kindly responded to my email and said: “Bailey is doing remarkably well given what he’s been through. He’s alert, bright and extremely friendly with everyone he meets. It’s too early to tell if his skin issues are chronic or if they’ll resolve over time but he is expected to make a full recovery. He’s a resilient dog who has been through a traumatic experience but the Animal Rescue League of Boston is committed to finding him the home he deserves, as well as determining who may have been responsible for abandoning him.”

So, let’s get to work and find the lowlife who had no problem whatsoever abandoning a tiny living being!

If you have any information about this crime, please speak up for the VOICELESS VICTIM and call the Malden Police Department at (781) - 397 - 7171, or the ARL at (617) - 426 - 9170. Thank you!
