Sounds of animal abuse coming from inside a Boardman hotel. When humane officers arrived, they found a pit bull puppy in pretty bad shape.
We’re told police were called to the Red Roof Inn in Boardman around 5 a.m. after guests started complaining about a dog being hurt.
“It sounded like the dog was being abused in some way, shape or form,” said Mary Louk, with Animal Charity of Ohio.
They discovered a 4- or 5-month-old pit bull puppy with a badly broken back leg.
“She couldn’t bear any weight on one of her legs. She was very, very timid. She was very, very scared,” Louk said.
Humane agents drove the animal to a veterinary hospital in Akron to see if there were any other problems.
“If she was being beaten, that it could be possible that she could have internal injuries that we are not aware of,” Louk said.
Dante Mason was arrested early Monday morning on animal cruelty charges.
