Animal Lovers Demand 'Justice for Foxx'

As the search for the person or people responsible for the death of a pint-sized Pomeranian named Foxx continues, a reward is being offered to help bring those responsible to justice.

As of Wednesday, Broward County Crime Stoppers was offering a reward of $3,000 in the case, the Pembroke Pines Police Department announced on its Facebook page. Donations are also being accepted to add to the reward amount.

Foxx, a 13-year-old Pomeranian, was found lifeless over the weekend near his owner, Ronald Boisvert’s home. A handwritten note was taped to Foxx’s body. That note read: “WE BEAT IT 2 Death lol! HAHAHA!”

“The canine had no visible injuries,” the police department wrote in a media release. Foxx was taken to a veterinary hospital where an exam of his body found “multiple fractures.”

The dog, the vet determined, suffered from blunt force trauma.

Authorities believe the beating death occurred sometime between 1 p.m. Aug. 7 and 8 a.m. Aug. 8 along French Drive in Pembroke Pines. They are telling pet owners in the area they believe the incident is isolated.

“While we always encourage animal owners to be cautions with leaving their pets unattended, we have no reason to believe that other dogs are at risk at this time,” the agency wrote on Facebook.

As the search for Foxx’s killer continues, his owner has established a Facebook page of his own to keep those interested in updates aware of any new developments. The Justice for Foxx the Pomeranian page was launched on Tuesday and already had more than 2,000 followers as of Thursday morning.

“We just want to thank everyone for sharing our posts and for those people who have called into Crime Stoppers with tips,” Boisvert wrote on the page. “(The) Pembroke Pines Police Department has been amazing and we can’t thank them enough for putting all their effort into helping us find who did this to our little Foxx.”

Anyone with information in the case is asked to call the police department at 954-431-2200 or Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. For information on donating to the reward fund, visit www.BrowardCrimeStoppers.org. Checks may also be mailed to 1451 Cypress Creek Road, Suite 300, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33309.

The police department reports that calls have poured in from around the country related to the case. So far, no arrests have been made.
