Authorities in Riverside are asking for the public's help in finding whoever shot a dog with an arrow from a crossbow, causing injuries so severe it had to be euthanized.
A private foundation has put up a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest.
A security guard found the German shepherd mix around noon Wednesday on the campus of La Sierra University, said John Welsh, spokesman for Riverside County Animal Services.
When he looked closer, he saw an arrow lodged in the dog’s side, Welsh said Thursday.
It was unclear whether the dog had come onto the campus from surrounding neighborhood streets after being injured or how long the animal might have been suffering, Welsh said.
Due to the dog’s panic and distress, animal services officials had to use a catch pole to apprehend the animal, which was taken to Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter in Jurupa Valley.
