Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!

A Good Samaritan at a north Spokane gas station Wednesday heard barking and whimpering from a nearby dumpster and retrieved a six-week-old Dalmatian puppy that had been left inside.

That person took the dog him, gave it a bath, then brought it to the Spokane Humane Society. The Humane Society in turn notified SCRAPS, which is now investigating the incident.

"We are taking this incident very seriously and are in the middle of our investigation," SCRAPS Director Nancy Hill said.

The puppy was placed in foster care, where Hill says the dog is doing well.

The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward up to $2,500 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for abandoning the puppy.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call SCRAPS at (509) 477-2532.

If you are interested in adopting the animal, contact the Spokane Humane Society at (509) 467-5235
