A $2,500 reward is being offered for information leading to the conviction of whoever is responsible for shooting a dog and leaving it to die on a Forest Service road in the North Bend area on May 31.
The black-and-rust colored 4-year-old Rottweiler survived the initial attack, and was found wearing a pinch collar and tied to a log 20 feet down an embankment at a recreational shooting area.
A group of citizens notified King County Animal Care and Control officers. The dog was taken to an Eastside veterinarian for treatment. But because the dog was paralyzed and unable to recover from injuries after several days, it was euthanized.
King County Animal Care and Control interim manager Nancy McKenney called the death a horrendous and intentional case of animal abuse. Intentionally shooting a dog and leaving it to suffer is a class C felony.
The reward has been put up by the Humane Society. Anyone with information should call King County Animal Care and Control's tip line at 206-296-3939.
