Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – Boulder City authorities are asking for the public’s help to find those responsible for abusing a puppy.
On August 19, Boulder City Animal Control responded to a local resident who stated they found an abandoned injured 10-week-old puppy in an alleyway. The puppy was immediately transported to the Boulder City Animal Hospital and treated for a dislocated jaw, eye and facial damage, and missing teeth.
Veterinarians determined that the puppy’s injuries were consistent with human animal abuse.
Within the last two days, the puppy has undergone two surgical procedures. One of the puppy’s eyes was so damaged, it had to be removed.
The puppy, a male rottweiler mix nick-named “Seven” by Animal Control employees, is still currently undergoing treatment for his injuries
“Thankfully, now, Seven is in great hands and is expected to make a full recovery,” said Boulder City Animal Control Supervisor Ann Inabnitt. “We sincerely appreciate the outpouring of support from our Boulder City Community and residents in Southern Nevada who have provided numerous donations and offers to aide in the care of Seven during his long recovery.”
Any persons with information relating to this case are urged to contact Boulder City Police Detective Brett Wibrew at bwibrew@bcnv.org.
