$2K raised for burned dog, owner found

Milford, Conn. (WTNH) - A badly burned dog found abandoned in Milford is recovering nicely, thanks in large part to the community's generosity.

The two year old pitbull, dubbed Ginger, was found roaming on Colonial Avenue this past weekend. She was suffering from third degree burns on her neck and shoulders and had recently given birth, though the puppies were nowhere to be found.

Following media reports, the animal control says they received over $2,000 in donations to help pay for Ginger's medical care.

Wednesday, Milford Animal Control says they were contacted by Ginger's owner and at this point they don't believe that the owner is responsible for Ginger's injuries. Ginger's puppies are also with the owner and are said to be doing fine.

Anyone with additional information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the Milford Detective Division at (203) 877-1465.
