Animal cruelty case investigated; public asked for help

Posted

On June 23, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office was called after a person found the body of a dog on the side of a private road off Coal Creek Canyon Drive in unincorporated Boulder County. The incident is being investigated as a cruelty to animal case due to the condition of the animal’s body, which had sustained multiple injuries, and the manner in which it was disposed.

The deceased dog was a young neutered male German Shepherd. We believe the dog was left on the side of the road sometime between June 13 and June 15.

A game camera on the property captured a suspicious vehicle which may have been driven by the suspect. The vehicle was a rented Home Depot van with damage on the passenger side by the rear tire.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control unit is investigating and would like to hear from anyone who may have information on this case. Please send information you may have on the vehicle, suspect, or dog, to: rstreit@bouldercounty.gov.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office associated case number is: #23-03388.
