Who Shot Angel? Reward Offered to Find Who Injured Pit Bull
The dog was shot in the neck "out of pure meanness."
A reward of $500 has been offered in finding the person who shot a pit bull in the neck recently.
The reward is being offered by the Society of Humane Friends in Georgia, which has cared for “Angel,” who was found in the Lawrenceville area a little more than a week ago. The dog was taken to the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter.
Angel, who is recovering in a foster home, survived the shooting even though the bullet went right through her.
