Mobile County Animal Control is asking for your help to catch the person who shot a puppy, shattered it's leg and set it on fire.
Animal Control Officers say the 7-month-old Shepherd-Hound mix was found on Jones Road in Theodore. The puppy's right front leg was shattered, from shoulder to paw. The same leg was also set on fire. Someone also shot the puppy's left front leg. On top of all that, the puppy was also starving.

Unfortunately, the puppy had to be euthanized on Dec 17 because it's injuries were too severe.
