A passerby witnessed this h.o.r.r.i.f.i.c incident and called the authorities. Elle was taken in by Toledo Area Humane Society for emergency care.
At the hospital, an X-ray revealed that the third puppy was stuck in her birth canal. She was rushed for an emergency C-section where she gave birth to the rest of her puppies.
However, 5 of the 9 puppies did not make it. Elle is dehydrated and underweight, and is currently receiving care along with her surviving puppies.
But d.u.m.p.i.n.g her mercilessly means the owner would face a variety of animal c.r.u.e.l.ty charges when caught, both felony and misdemeanor.
Alternatively, a c.r.u.e.l.t.y report can also be filled up here. Let’s spread the word and help find the perpetrator of this h.o.r.r.e.n.d.o.u.s c.r.i.m.e.
