Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – The Boulder City Police Department released more information about a puppy that was harshly abused and it currently receiving care. The pup, a 10-week-old Rottweiler mix, was found back on August 24th in a Boulder City alleyway.
The puppy, who was given the name Seven, 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 and a police investigation was immediately initiated.
BCPD said Wednesday that their investigators built a case that led them to conclude that the abuse took place down in Mohave County, Arizona. Thus, the department handed over everything it’s gathered so far to Mohave County authorities, who will now take over the investigation.
Within the last several weeks, the puppy has undergone two surgical procedures. One of the puppy’s eyes was so damaged, it had to be removed. He is currently on a feeding tube due to the extent of his injuries. Veterinarians estimate he will need the feeding tube for another five to six weeks.
BCPD says that Seven’s medical bills have all been covered due to donations that poured in from around southern Nevada, and that further donations are no longer being accepted.
