Another snowfall, another abandoned dog. Earlier this month a pit bull was tied to the Williamsburg Bridge and left in the snow (presumably by its owners); luckily, it has now found a home. We just received an email regarding another dog discovered in the snow in Brooklyn. An employee of 3rd Ward sent along the above photo and tells us:
This morning we found a small chihuahua abandoned and bleeding in front of our work. We are contacting shelters but having a hard time getting her in somewhere.
Do you know this dog, or can you help? Contact Allison at awall(at)3rdward(dot)com—she tells us they'll be taking her to a shelter at 6 p.m. tonight, but the dog will be there all day.
