An animal rights group is offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the shooting of a six-month old beagle.
According to Shelby County Animal Control Officer Donald Kendrick, the puppy was shot in the head and left to die near Highways 62 and 85 in Vincent around July 5. While the dog survived the shotgun blast, she lost an eye and needed multiple operations to remove buckshot and repair skull fractures.
Kendrick said he found the dog hiding, fearful and with a “horrific” head wound. The officer said that animals with such severe injuries are usually euthanized; however, in this case, he said the dog was too friendly to put down. petitie tekenenpetitie tekenen
