YBOR CITY, FL – In a troubling incident highlighting the ongoing issue of animal abandonment, a puppy named “Treasure” was rescued after being thrown into a dumpster near Ybor City.
Found by Good Samaritans, the puppy was discovered starving and dehydrated, and surveillance footage captured the moment she was discarded.
Heydi Acuna, founder of Mercy Full Project, expressed outrage over the incident, emphasizing the neglect animals face, particularly since Hurricane Milton increased abandonment and surrenders.
While Treasure is now safe and healthy, she isn’t ready for adoption yet, and the incident has been reported to animal control. Acuna aims to raise awareness about the importance of caring for animals.
