~ Original story:


The Morgan County Sheriff's Department is reaching out to the public for assistance with a horrific case of animal cruelty.


Six puppies were thrown off of a bridge and left in a river on Burreville Road in Sunbright after being stuffed in a red tote bag.


The nonprofit MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said only one puppy survived and the furbaby has been named Survivor. Survivor has a broken leg and more details will be disclosed after a veterinary examination.


In a Facebook post the shelter said that the puppies “Appear to probably be a cur type mix, approximately 7 to 9 weeks old, maybe slightly older.”


MoCo Mutts Rescue Center is offering a reward, which now climbed to $2,250, in exchange for information leading to the identification and conviction of the monster responsible for such a heinous crime. As the nonprofit said: “This should make you angry and ill to your stomach.”


There is a discrepancy with the dates according to which the furbabies were tossed from the bridge. The probable timeframe is between December 24 and December 25.

If you were in the area on those days and you witnessed something unusual or suspicious that can help with the investigation, please, come forward and speak up for those innocent puppies.

They rely on us for justice!

As MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said: “Don't let this crime go unpunished.”

REWARD offered - Puppy found in a plastic bin bleeding with a broken jaw and eye socket

- South Carolina, USA -


The Charleston County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a female Chihuahua puppy was found abandoned in a plastic storage bin on Tuesday, September 13, 2022.


Charleston Animal Society explained through a Facebook post that the furbaby, now named Billie, was found “left bleeding with a broken jaw and eye socket, in a plastic storage bin in the Midland Park area of North Charleston. Children who saw the puppy in the bin on a neighborhood walking path told their mother who then contacted authorities.”


Billie was then brought to Charleston Animal Society for lifesaving treatment. She is receiving pain medicine, X-rays were taken, and she is on a feeding tube.

Charleston Animal Society said along with a fracture to her right jaw and her left eye socket, Billie also had a puncture wound. Billie “did not like her feeding tube and pulled it out, however, she is now eating soft food and sleeping comfortably under the close eye of shelter staff and veterinarians.”


Charleston Animal Society Associate Director of Veterinary Medicine Ryan Pelletier, DVM said: “We believe her injuries are going to heal, it's just going to take a little time. She's lucky that she was found and brought in when she was.”


Charleston Animal Society Vice President of Operations and Strategy Aldwin Roman, CAWA expressed concern for Billie’s injuries and said it is also just as important to find who did this to her. “We are concerned with the significant head injuries Billie suffered and what caused them, but as importantly, we want to know why someone left her in a bin alone, in so much obvious pain”, he said.

He then added: “Billie was found in the bin with a pee pad and blanket, so it seems clear someone had been caring for her. Yet she was abandoned with life threatening injuries which is cruel and unnecessary. Someone knows what happened to this poor dog and needs to come forward.”


Charleston Animal Society is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to a criminal conviction of those responsible for Billie’s injuries.

If you have any information, please, speak up for Billie and call the Charleston County Sheriff's Office at (843) - 743 - 7200. Thank you!
