FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control officers are looking for whoever abandoned a badly malnourished dog near the former Target building in the 7600 block of South Anthony Blvd.

The animal, which appears to be a Beagle or Brittany mixed breed, was found by a passerby Thursday afternoon and is about 1 year old. It was not able to walk on its own and the shelter’s medical team believes it was dumped in that condition, having most likely been kept in a crate or small enclosed area for a long period of time.

If you know anything about this case or who the dog belongs to, call 427-1244 and choose option 1. The dog is receiving medical treatment.

The most recent update we have received is that the dog has taken “a turn for the worse,” but otherwise no update.
