JAMESTOWN – The investigation into the case regarding Tinkerbell the Chihuahua continues as more facts come into focus.
On Monday, a report came into the Chautauqua County Humane Society of a dog having been found in a ditch on the side of Southwestern Dr. in Lakewood. After the organization’s cruelty investigator arrived, he found a female Chihuahua mix inside of a zipped Coors Light thermal bag. The dog – who they’ve named Tinkerbell – was terrified and had evidently been in the bag for quite some time.
As of Wednesday, statements have been taken from all parties involved including a voluntary statement from a person of interest.
Tinkerbell the Chihuahua will remain at the Humane Society until the conclusion of the investigation and a clear, safe decision can be made regarding her well-being.
At this time, Tinkerbell the Chihuahua is not available for adoption or release, but the Humane Society is accepting applications for consideration.
If or when Tinkerbell the Chihuahua becomes available for adoption, the Humane Society will go through the traditional adoption process, sort through applications and place her in the best possible home. As a reminder, the Humane Society has many other cats and dogs currently available for adoption including other Chihuahuas like Tinkerbell.
The mission of the Chautauqua County Humane Society is to promote the adoption of animals, prevent all forms of animal cruelty and neglect, shelter lost, abandoned and homeless animals, and to provide education about the humane treatment of animals. The shelter wants to thank the community for their interest, support, well wishes and concern regarding this matter and helping to support the organization’s mission
