FazzNoth Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The small dog was found Saturday morning trapped within three bags near railroad tracks in Vineland, Cumberland County A young, female chihuahua named Coco was found stuffed within three bags that were left next to railroad tracks in Vineland this past weekend, according to the South Jersey Regional Animal Center. Vineland police and a local animal shelter are seeking answers regarding an abandoned chihuahua that was found trapped within three bags next to railroad tracks in Cumberland County this past weekend. The South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in what the organization called "a blatant act of animal cruelty" on its Facebook page on Monday. A man who was walking his dog this past Saturday morning near Christel Avenue in Vineland noticed a bag that appeared to be moving, the shelter said. The man could also hear audible sounds coming from the bag. The man, whose identity has not been revealed, brought the bag to the animal shelter. Employees opened the bag to find a chihuahua stuffed within two additional sealed bags. The shelter said that both the abandoned dog and the three bags were covered in urine. The chihuahua was identified as a young female and later named Coco. The shelter said that Coco was "visibly shaken and lucky to be alive." https://www.facebook.com/watch/SJRASVineland/ She was then evaluated by the shelter and put into the care of a foster family in order to get her back to full health. Coco will be available for adoption once she fully recovers, the shelter said. The incident was reported to Vineland police, who have since opened an investigation into the matter. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the police department at 856-691-4111. https://www.phillyvoice.com/abandoned-dog-chihuahua-vineland-cumberland-county-south-jersey-animal-shelter/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
