WYANDOTTE COUNTY—Law enforcement investigating animal cruelty in Northeast Kansas have identified a suspect.
Tips from members of the community helped Bonner Springs Police and Animal Control Officers ID the suspect, according to a media release on Wednesday. The suspect, whose name has not been released, is facing animal abandonment charges.
On March 6, Bonner Springs Animal Control shared photos of a plastic storage tote left near the animal care center at 104 Forest Ave. The tote had been taped shut and left outside during a storm. Inside the tote was a puppy who required immediate medical attention.
In addition to the puppy in the tote, two additional puppies were surrendered to animal control officers. All three animals are now receiving veterinary evaluation and care.
This pup appears to have a rectal prolapse which will be addressed ASAP by our veterinary partner.If you have any information, please call 913-422-7800 extension 1579 (please leave a message), or 913-596-3000
