Meriden Humane Society broken into - Pitbull puppy stolen

[moosmom]

Someone broke into the Meriden Humane Society and stole a 6 week old brindle pitbull puppy who just had hernia surgery. In doing so, they broke in through the cat enclosure, letting over 60 cats lose. The police say it's part of a pitbull fighting ring and they took the puppy for either bate or to train to fight. There's a $1,000 reward out.

The bad part is the Humane Society building is right off a major highway.

Now you know why I like animals more than people sometimes!!!

OMG. That is horrible. That poor puppy. I hope the puppy is found and the book is thrown at the idiots who stole him.

Someone asked me if the dog was microchipped. I hope so. But it wasn't mentioned in the article so I'm not sure.

I do know that if they try to take the puppy to the vet, the puppy's picture has been all over the news so they'll get caught. One can only hope.

I pray for the lives of the cats and the puppy.

The puppy was found in a dumpster!!!! He's doing great and is back at the Humane Society. What they SHOULD do is get him into a foster home where he'll be safe.

So far only 4 cats have be found . Prayers needed for their safe return.

It is sick the things people do when involved in dog fighting.
I am so happy to hear that the puppy was found and is doing well. It really lucked out. :]

Good vibes headed out for the cats still missing.

About half the cats are back...prayers for the rest!
