An eight-week-old puppy needs a new home after someone left it in a dumpster with two broken legs. The black lab mix was found in Vinton. Humane Society workers have named him Charlie.

Both of his back legs are broken. One is in a splint. Pins were placed in the other.

Nancy Johnson, Bedford Humane Society - "The vet does feel the legs were broken before it got there. There's no way it could crawl if it had been run over in the parking lot. This is a case of neglect and abuse."

Charlie can't be taken home until his legs are healed. That will take about a month. If you are interested in adopting him call Bedford's Humane Society at 586-6100.
