Crime Stoppers received two anonymous donations that allow the organization to offer a reward of up to $3,000 for information in the case.
Good Samaritans rescued the puppies named Ringo and Star from Thread Lake along Lakewood Drive at the Flint Golf Club on Oct. 28.
Genesee County Animal Control says the dogs were locked in a cage and left in the frigid water hours before they were found.
The dogs escaped from the cage, but Ringo got stuck in mud along the water’s edge. Star broke free, chased after a pickup truck while barking and then led rescuers back to Ringo.
The Good Samaritans rescued Ringo and brought both German Shepherds to the Genesee County Animal Shelter on Pasadena Avenue. Both were emaciated and suffering from multiple injuries and illnesses.
Unfortunately, Ringo was euthanized the next day because she suffered several bone fractures.
Anyone with information about who dumped the dogs in Thread Lake should call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-422-JAIL.
