Abused, Abandoned Chihuahua Puppy Found In Lincoln: Police Seek Tips

LINCOLN, MA — The MSPCA and Lincoln police are trying to find out who left a severely injured Chihuahua puppy along a rural road this week.

The Chihuahua-terrier mix was found along Page Road by a walker Monday evening.

"The injured dog appeared to be approximately 3 to 4 months old, suffering significant injuries to its eye and head. The resident immediately brought the dog to the Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston for treatment," Lincoln police said this week.

Police reported that the puppy is responding well to treatment at Angell. The department is still trying to track down the owner — or whoever abandoned the dog along the road.

State police assigned to the MSPCA Law Enforcement Department and Lincoln police are asking anyone who saw anything in the Page Road area on Monday to contact them.
