The incident allegedly happened on Northwood Drive in Boonville on Wednesday.
21-year-old Kelsea Hartwell was arrested for animal abandonment.
Officials say the dog was taken to the vet Friday morning and is okay. It's now in the care of Warrick County Animal Control.
Police are now talking with witnesses to try to piece together what exactly happened.
Danielle Barnes with animal control says they were not initially called to the scene.
She says they are only called after hours on dog bite calls but after this incident, she's changing that policy. Now if a case number is generated they will be able to go out and pick up the animal to take it to the vet immediately.
