Abandoned pit bull puppy adopted

PAWTUCKET, RI (WPRI) - An abandoned puppy with a serious injury that Eyewitness News first told about back in June, has found a new home.

The six month old pit bull was found on June 23rd, at the edge of Slater Park in Pawtucket, outside of the animal shelter.

Veterinarians had to perform life saving surgery and remove his back left leg.

Now, Pawtucket Animal Control Officer John Holmes says the puppy was adopted three weeks after he was found.

Investigators never found who abandoned the pit bull.
