TUCSON (KVOA) – A local puppy is on the way to recovery after the stray dog was recently found with a trap clamped on its leg.
According to a post posted on Twitter by the Pima Animal Care Center on Monday, the Pima County Animal Protection Team received a report of a stray dog with “something stuck on its leg.”
When the animal welfare officer arrived at the scene, she identified the object stuck to the dog’s leg as a trap. Then she carefully transported the puppy to the clinic.
The PACC medical team then carefully removed the trap from the dog.
Fortunately, PACC said x-rays showed no bones were broken by the trap. Officials say the dog sustained only a minor injury to the surface of its skin.
The dog, later called the trapper, is currently being held at the shelter in the hope of being returned to its owner.
Anyone with information is advised to call PACC at 520-724-5900.

They did some x-rays, but there were no broken bones, just a slight injury to the skin surface.
The dog is just hoping that his owner will see this post. This poor puppy has been through so much. Please share to find the owner! pic.twitter.com/MXkON3tmoG
