The dog was taken to the Ross County Humane Society in Ohio where Brittany May, the shelter manager, was so aggravated by what she saw she shared her frustration on social media:
So I usually try to contain my self with my work life and with what I see every single day, but this just tops it off! How are you going to dump your dog, and write FREE all over it in permanent marker!
I just donโt get it! Anybody know this dog? Found dumped at the armory down in the park! This is a whole new level of LOW!
The dog is now being cared for at the shelter and is available for adoption..
