BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — A deceased dog was found along a private road in Boulder County and authorities have opened an animal abuse case.

Deputies with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office responded on June 23 to a report of a person who had found the body of a dog on the side of a private road off Coal Creek Canyon Drive in unincorporated Boulder County.

The sheriff’s office said the case is being investigated as animal abuse because they suspect cruelty to the animal, which had multiple injuries.

The dog was a young male German Shepherd. He was neutered.
