Police in Spokane found a pit bull tied to a dumpster at an elementary school covered in blood on Tuesday.
“The veterinarian said it appeared to be a victim of dog fighting,” said Nancy Hill, Director of SCRAPS (Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service). “The wounds were mostly to the head and throat area. The dog was in tremendous pain and had to be euthanized.”
Hill said there was a lot of blood at the dumpster and the veterinarian believes there could have been a second dog that bled out or bled to death.
The reward for any information leading to an arrest is up to $2,750, provided by a private citizen and the Humane Society.
