The sick, neglected dog found abandoned last month at Bradley Nature Park has recovered enough to go into foster care while waiting to be adopted.

Love-A-Stray took custody of the dog on Thursday, Westlake Police announced Friday. The local animal rescue/adoption organization has placed the dog in one of its foster homes until an adoption can be arranged.

The dog was found at Bradley Nature Park on Sept. 24. It was malnourished, neglected, had its dewclaws removed and had a severe case of sarcoptic mange. Westlake Animal Hospital treated the dog.

All donations made to help the dog were given to Love-A-Stray. Would you like to help? Send donations to Love-A-Stray at P.O. Box 125 Avon Lake, Ohio 44012. For more information or if you're considering adopting the dog, contact Love-A-Stray by email at lasvolunteer@yahoo.com.

Police are still investigating the case. If you know anything that can help identify who neglected and abandoned the dog, please contact Westlake Police at 440-871-3311.
