LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A video shows a man hurling a small female dog over a fence in a Las Vegas neighborhood, but no one can say why.
“We are desperately trying to find any information as to the identity of this awful sub-human who threw this dog into our yard,” Michelle “Mickey” Meyering wrote in a message to 8 News Now on Wednesday.
Meyering, who came home to find the 2-year-old dog in her backyard with her two 80-pound Weimeranars, doesn’t know what the man’s intentions were. Her Ring camera captured the video just after 11 a.m. on Monday, June 10, and she arrived home at about 12:30 p.m. She lives in the southwest valley near Flamingo Road and Torrey Pines Drive, near Kenny Guinn Middle School.
The video appears to show a car driving away in the background, but not close enough to help with identification. Meyering said she recognizes the dog’s bark, and she thinks it’s from somewhere nearby.
Maybe the man thought the large dogs would attack the little dog, or maybe he was trying to get rid of it with a family that already had dogs. Meyering just doesn’t know. She added that her dogs welcomed the small dog “with open paws.”
Efforts to bring the dog in from the heat didn’t go well.
The dog, identified as a “fawn doxie” (Dachshund) by the Animal Foundation, has been taken in and is being monitored after “being so scared she nipped my husband in front of Animal Protection,” Meyering said. A 10-day rabies quarantine will expire on June 20.
Meyering’s voice was breaking as she said Wednesday she hopes someone will adopt her. She had already bought a new bed, bowls, a collar, a leash, food and a GPS tag to donate specifically for her.
“If this is your dog that got out and some other cruel person threw her thinking she belonged to us, please go get her,” she wrote on a post on Next Door. She said she is in the process of filing a police report.
If you are interested in adopting, call the Animal Foundation at 702-955-5901, and use reference number A24-314 253. Workers at the Animal Foundation said Wednesday there were no injuries found, with only mild dental tartar and long nails noted on her chart.
