Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!

On Aug. 22, a citizen called Louisville Metro Animal Services after finding a severely injured pit bull on the 1900 block of Shepherdsville Road, near Bashford Avenue.

Officers found the gray and brown pit bull hiding in the bushes, screaming in pain.

Her skin was detached from her mouth, paws and legs, and blood covered her eyes. Her lips were torn and there was severe bruising near her back legs. For humane reasons, the animal was euthanized.

Preliminary necropsy results from the University of Kentucky Diagnostic Lab show that she was extremely burned.

The Humane Society has posted a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an arrest in any of the cases.
