Annie was found with second-degree burns to her head, neck, shoulders, front limbs and abdomen along Route 1 around Ellis Avenue, the ARL said. She was wearing a leash and collar but did not have any tags or microchip.

Concerned for her welfare, Norwood Police brought Annie to the ARL where she was later transferred to an animal hospital in Walpole. She spent several days there receiving intensive car before being handed back to the ARL.

Annie still has a long to go before she can be adopted but in the meantime, authorities have launched an animal cruelty investigation in response.

Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact ARL’s Law Enforcement Department at 617-426-9170 x110 or email cruelty@arlboston.org; or Norwood Police at 781-440-5100.
