The Humane Society of Missouri is offering a reward for information regarding a severely abused Chihuahua. "Charlotte" was discovered on the porch of a home in St. Louis with a hard plastic zip tie tightly attached to her neck.

A St. Louis resident found the dog and brought it to the Humane Society office. It had a plastic zip tie attached to its neck, causing the head to become grotesquely swollen to the size of a grapefruit.

The dog named Charlotte by Humane Society staff is also badly underweight.

The resident alerted the Humane Society, which immediately transported her to an emergency center.

Right now, her prognosis is guarded.

Authorities are canvassing the area where Charlotte was found.

If you have any information, about this case of abuse, you are urged to call the animal abuse hot line at 314-647-4400.
