Authorities look for person responsible for dumping two dozen dogs in Rush and Decatur counties

Rushville police and the Rushville Animal Shelter have posted on social media about an investigation involving the dumping of dogs in Rushville and Decatur County.

Nine dogs were dumped at the Rushville city dog park sometime late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. The police are asking for the public’s help in locating the individual(s) responsible.

Rushville police ask if anyone lives in the area and has any form of security cameras that they please check them for anything that could help authorities.

Along with the dogs found in Rushville, 15 dogs were found at a dog park in Decatur County. Police noted that whoever is responsible cared enough to put them in locations that kept them contained but it’s still not acceptable.

Anonymous tips are always welcome and can be made directly to the Rushville Police Department.
