The dog, named Penelope by Montreal SPCA staff, was found abandoned in the parking lot of Harvey\u2019s restaurant, near the Namur metro station in C\u00f4te-des-Neiges\u2013Notre-Dame-de-Gr\u00e2ce.<\/p>\n<p>Penelope is a female shih-tzu, of approximately 9 years of age. In addition to her serious skin and eye issues, she is suffering from malnutrition and severe dehydration. She was found wearing a multicolored collar without any identification. Though she is in critical condition, she is currently receiving the best possible medical care from the Montreal SPCA\u2019s veterinary team.<\/p>\n<p>The Montreal SPCA\u2019s investigations and inspections department has opened an investigation into this case and is seeking the public\u2019s help in order to identify Penelope and her former owners, as well as to apprehend the person responsible for this cruel abandonment. In order to help the investigation move forward, the Montreal SPCA is offering a $1,000 reward to anyone providing information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person responsible for this heinous act of cruelty. Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact our investigations and inspections department at <a href=\"mailto:inspection@spca.com\">inspection@spca.com<\/a> or (514) 735-2711 extension 2230.
