The city of San Bernardino is asking for the public’s help to identify the individual or individuals responsible for severely burning a three-month-old puppy and abandoning it and another puppy at a veterinary office.
Officials believe this was an intentional act of animal cruelty, a news release said.
On April 4, the city’s Animal Services Department was called to a veterinary office on West Highland Avenue regarding two puppies abandoned in the parking lot overnight. Once officers arrived at the location, they discovered two labrador retriever mix puppies, both of whom were about three months old.
Officers discovered that one of the puppies had burns on their face, ears, and body. Veterinarians who treated the puppy, later named Ember, determined she had suffered from severe injuries likely caused by fire.

The other puppy was also treated by veterinarians and later cleared. Ember, however, continues to receive treatment from veterinary specialists and is expected to go into the care of an experienced foster caretaker once she is released from the hospital.
Anyone with information about the incident, including information regarding the dog’s owners or details leading to the individual(s) responsible, is encouraged to contact the San Bernardino Animal Services Department at (909) 384-1304 and reference A563955.
