The search for the individual who abandoned a small dog in Leominster, Massachusetts, persists. The dog was left on the side of Nashua Street according to Boston 25 News. The incident prompted Leominster Fitchburg Animal Control to issue a statement about the community's general reaction and offers of help in sheltering the dog.
A passerby discovered the dog and swiftly moved the crate yesterday. The man, who chose to remain nameless, instantly took the four-pound dog in and reported the case to local authorities as reported by CBS Boston News. The female dog is currently in the care of animal control, awaiting a brighter tomorrow.
The well-being of the dog remains a top priority as the Leominster Police and animal control officers ally in uncovering the person who deserted her. Social media has come into play as a means of raising awareness for such situations, but often, the outcome for the dog is unresolved as cited from Animal Control Officer Todd Pickett's statement to CBS Boston News.
Expectations are high for the dog's adoption, given the volume of calls from promising foster families. Leominster Fitchburg Animal Control has now asked the public to withhold calling unless they can provide specific details related to her case, in order not to overcrowd the communication lines. As per local regulations, they are required to keep the dog for seven days before releasing her for adoption as detailed CBS Boston News.
