San Bernardino, CA – San Bernardino city officials are hoping to find the person who severely burned a three-month-old puppy who was abandoned in a parking lot. The pup, dubbed Ember, survived the cruel act but she was left with devastating, widespread injuries over much of her body.
According to a press release from the city, Ember and another puppy were abandoned in the parking lot of a veterinary clinic on West Highland Avenue on April 4. The pups were taken to the San Bernardino Animal Shelter and Ember’s wounds were evaluated by veterinary staff.
The release states:
The burns Ember suffered are severe. Based upon how and where the puppies were
found, it is believed this may have been an intentional act of animal cruelty. The vet has
determined the injuries and wounds were likely caused by fire.
Animal Victory hopes to raise awareness of cruel incident with the hopes that the perpetrator(s) will be found and brought to justice. Please add your name to the petition today! Ember suffered horribly and whoever is responsible MUST be held accountable.
If you have any information regarding this case, including information regarding the dog’s
owners or details leading to the individual(s) responsible, please contact the San
Bernardino Animal Services Department at (909) 384-1304 and reference A563955.
We the undersigned demand the San Bernardino Police Department fully investigate this cruel situation to help identify the person(s) responsible for burning Ember. If the investigation confirms that this puppy was intentionally harmed, someone must be arrested and charged. Anyone capable of harming an innocent puppy is a danger to society and must be held accountable.
