RANDOLPH, Mass. — Police are asking for the public’s help with an animal cruelty case that occurred earlier this month.
According to Randolph authorities, two 11-week-old puppies were found abandoned along a pedestrian pathway between the Martin E. Young Elementary School and Barbara Road on August 1.
The puppies, a male and a female, were transported to the Weymouth VCA for emergency care.
The male puppy’s condition was so severe that officials determined the best recourse was to provide him with a peaceful passing.
Investigators say the two helpless animals likely came from basement breeders.
They are described as mixed pups, possibly Shepherd/hound mixes with a distinct black tail.
Anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the Barbara Road area on or around August 1 or anyone who may be aware of individuals breeding similar dogs are asked to contact Randolph Police.
The female puppy is not available for adoption, according to police.
