Rhode Island: Weeks-old puppy rescued from dumpster

RHODE ISLAND -- A weeks-old puppy locked inside of a pet carrier was rescued from a dumpster on Thursday morning.

Police are actively searching for suspects after the 10-week-old jack russell terrier mix was discovered when a passerby heard the animal crying and called police. The puppy was abandoned in a carrier that was filthy and full of feces.


According to Animal Control Director John Holmes, police are investigating but currently have no suspects.

Holmes said the puppy has been examined and appears to be healthy. He will be held at the Pawtucket Animal Shelter for the time being.

Anyone interested in adopting the puppy can come by the Pawtucket Animal Shelter in Slater Park to see him.

Holmes said the person responsible will be charged to the “fullest extent of the law”.
