The Humane Society announced Friday that it’s offering $5,000, while a local animal refuge center and others are also offering a reward. The combined sums mean there's a total reward of close to $10,000 -- $9,750, to be exact -- the Humane Society said.
The dog, which has been named Woodrow, was found in July; a man spotted it under his trailer.
When animal control officials arrived, “they noticed that a metal oval object with a chain hanging from it was embedded in the dog’s skin,” the statement reads.
