So, equipped with the surveillance footage, the animal care officers were able to locate the perpetrator and contact their residence in Vallejo, California.
The person reportedly admitted to dumping the puppy away because they claimed to have thought it was dead or dying. However, they also revealed they never sought out any veterinary care for the pup after it began suffering from diarrhea and was “just dying.”
In turn, the Vallejo resident has since been arrested for felony animal cruelty, willfully abandoning an animal, and violating prior misdemeanor probation. He has also been booked in the Solano County Jail. Additionally, the Facebook press release detailing this horrifying incident has gained widespread attention among Californians. Many have applauded the officers’ dedication to serving justice and are thankful that the pup is now recovering in good hands.
“Thank you, Solano Sheriff’s Animal Control Services. You all have tough, demanding jobs. We appreciate you so much! Here’s to full healing for this pup!” commented one user.
“Poor baby. I thank all that had a part in saving this baby– it took a village, for sure. I hope the person that did this will pay big time. Poor sweet thing; prayers for healing!” wrote a second user.
The Solano Sheriff’s Animal Control Services has also revealed that following the pup’s full recovery, officers will be searching for its forever home.
