LANSING, Mich. — On Wednesday, April 29th, Ingham County Animal Control Officers were called regarding animal remains being found. Two small breed dogs were found in small airline style carriers behind a storage building. The residential area was northwest of Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and North Grand River Avenue. The overgrown nature of the space along with public access has made identification of the animal owners difficult.
Both dogs appear to be chihuahua type dogs. One was black, one was tan and white. Both dogs were in severe stages of decomposition and were likely abandoned in early April.
Animal abandonment is a serious offense. Animal control officers are working diligently to try and identify these animals’ owners but need assistance from the public. If you know someone who recently lost, sold, or rehomed two chihuahuas (one black, one tan) please contact Ingham County Animal Control at 517-676-8376 and leave a tipline voicemail. Tips can also be sent via email to reportanimalcruelty@ingham.org.
