A dog is undergoing surgery after being shot multiple times in West Philly. The PSPCA is searching for the person responsible:
An ACCT Philly officer responded to the 1200 block of South 54th Street Monday night for reports of a dog being struck by a car. The officer found the injured dog who was taken to an emergency veterinary hospital where they discovered she was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Investigators with the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Animal Law Enforcement Team believe the dog was initially shot in the street and crawled to the porch of a nearby home. The dog was then found on the front steps of the home by a Good Samaritan. The dog, who was named Alexia, suffered injuries to her muzzle and shoulder areas as well as her leg. She was treated at Philadelphia Animal Specialty and Emergency Care overnight before being taken to the PSPCA’s Philadelphia headquarters where she’ll undergo surgery to amputate her leg.
