PLAQUEMINE, La. (WAFB) – Deputies with the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office are examining the death of a dog discovered in a dog crate behind a levee in Plaquemine.
According to Chief Criminal Deputy Ronnie Hebert, a man attempted to surrender his rottweiler over the weekend at the Iberville Parish Animal Control.
However, folks who work there might decline the dog since the man does not reside in the parish, and the shelter is already overcrowded.
Hebert says some young kids were riding four-wheelers behind the levee around Evergreen Road, when they found the dog inside a little dog crate in the high heat.
The dog passed away after being transferred to the Animal Control center.
Deputies have a warrant out for the dog owner’s arrest, and strategy to charge him with intensified cruelty to animals.
The dog’s body is at the LSU Vet School for evaluating to figure out the specific cause of death.
