NAUGATUCK, Conn. — A dog that was found in Naugatuck after allegedly jumping out of a moving car on Route 8 North was euthanized on Monday, according to Naugatuck animal control.
The dog was euthanized under veterinary recommendation due to complications from a head injury that was sustained throughout the night.
On July 2, at around 1:35 p.m., Naugatuck Animal Control responded to Route 8 North, in the area of Exit 26. Police said the car that the dog came out of was described as an older model burgundy sedan and the car did not stop.
Police said this also caused two, two-car crashes on the highway, which was confirmed by Connecticut State Police Troop I.
Naugatuck Animal Control immediately drove the dog to a Veterinarian Hospital where they said she was said to be in stable condition with a head injury.
Police said the dog was around 3 to 5 years old. She was not microchipped.
Naugatuck Animal Control is asking anyone that may have information as to the owner(s) to please contact: NaugatuckAnimalControl@gmail.com, or Naugatuck Police Department at (203) 729-5222.
