Puppy found in West Carrollton trash

WEST CARROLLTON, Ohio (WDTN) - The Montgomery County Resource Center investigates more than 1200 cases of dog cruelty every year. Now, a West Carollton woman is calling on the animal shelter for help.

"It does disgust me. I cried. It was really heartbreaking.," said Chelsea Adkins.

She and her husband tossed out their trash Sunday evening at their apartment complex on Wendy Way, when they heard a noise coming from inside a trash bag in the dumpster. When they opened it,  they found a tiny puppy inside.

"We took the trash bag out and went through it. She was on the bottom, covered with food, beer bottles, and some of their mail," said Chelsea.

She's shocked someone could be so cruel.

"People are evil. I don't know how anybody could do that, especially to a baby, a newborn. She can't even see yet," Chelsea said.

Chelsea said she took the puppy to three different vets and they all say she's healthy. She plans to give the puppy a good home, "We're in love with her. We can't get rid of her, especially after taking care of her."

But, she still wants the person responsible for throwing this puppy away to pay.

"I'm just hoping that they get caught. I don't want them to do it again and somebody just not notice it and a puppy just lay in there and die," said Chelsea.

She contacted The Montgomery County Animal Resource Center Wednesday night. Investigators are expected to come out to her apartment Thursday.
