Officials with the Calgary Humane Society are hoping to identify the person or people who abandoned a dog in the cold outside of their southeast building this week.
The dog, a young male German Shepherd, was found tied to a bench outside the humane society’s offices at 4455 -110 Ave. S.E. at around 4:30 a.m. on Friday.
Brad Nichols with the humane society said the dog was left tethered with no shelter and should have been taken to a 24-hour veterinary clinic instead.
