Reward in Dog Killing Case Rises to $15,000

As the search for the person or people responsible for killing a 13-year-old Pomeranian in Pembroke Pines continues, authorities have announced the reward for information that leads to an arrest in the animal cruelty case has climbed to $15,000.

“We know many of you have messaged us and posted asking for updates but we unfortunately do not have any to share with you at this time,” Foxx’s owner, Ronald Boisvert wrote on Facebook. “We can assure you the police are doing their best with the information they have and keep us in the loop with everything.”

The search for Foxx’s killer began when the dog’s body was found near its home earlier this month. 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 has more than 6,000 followers.

“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.
