BOONE COUNTY, Ind. -- A community came together to help a dog who had been abandoned and was in need of medical attention.
Jay was found tied to a light pole in Lebanon - left for dead - by a family who was driving down the road. They rescued Jay and dropped him off at the Humane Society of Boone County to get the medical attention he desperately needed.
"He was limping pretty heavily, he had some bruises, it kind of looked like he had been hit by a car," said Veterinarian Matt Cantrell with Community Pet Healthcare. "Long story short of it, he was a victim of abuse. What became clear to us was that he had been beaten repeatedly."
But the medical attention that Jay needed wasn't going to be cheap, that's why the Humane Society put out a plea for help over social media - and the community stepped up big time.
