INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, Fla. — A dog that was injured by its owner is in need of a new home, the Indian River County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies said while conducting a narcotics investigation, their special investigations detectives learned that Marquis Walker, 29, stabbed and poisoned his dog named Saucy.
According to a post on Facebook, deputies found the dog clinging to life with multiple stab wounds during a drug investigation in July. They said they also found rat poisoning in her system.
Deputies said animal control responded and got Saucy much needed medical attention.
WPTV reporter Romelo Styles followed up on the investigation and found Saucy at the Humane Society.
“They're just terrible individuals and so we want to see justice in all of these cases,” Sheriff Eric Flowers said, “but specifically for Saucy, we want to see her in a forever home.”
Walker, who was arrested and booked on July 9, faces a charge of animal cruelty, and numerous charges related to trafficking meth and cocaine and unlawful use of a two-way communications device. Walker is being held on $9.3 million bond and faces 26 charges.
Now that Saucy has made a full recovery, she is in need of a loving home.
