This past week a small, terrier-type dog was found in appalling condition and wandering the streets of Beverly, MA. Now, the Beverly Police Department and the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Law Enforcement Department are asking for the public’s help in identifying the dog’s former owner/caretaker.
The 10-year-old male dog was found at the intersection of Charnock and Prospect St. and was severely matted, dirty, underweight, and malnourished. Additionally, extremely overgrown and curled nails were causing the dog pain and discomfort when walking.
While neutered, the dog is not microchipped, making the public’s help critical to helping law enforcement find who was responsible for the dog not only being on the streets, but also being in such poor and neglectful condition.
Anyone with information can contact Beverly Animal Control at mlipinski@beverlyma.gov or (978) 605-2361, or ARL Law Enforcement at cruelty@arlboston.org or (617) 426-9170).
The ARL has named the dog Angel. The ARL will care for the pup until he is healthy enough to be adopted out to a caring and loving forever home.
