PETA offering $6,000 reward for information on dog found zipped inside suitcase

EVERETT — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is offering up to $6,000 as a reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction on cruelty charges of those responsible for abandoning a dog inside a zipped suitcase in an Everett dumpster.

On Nov. 18, Everett police responded to a 911 call after a bystander reported finding a gray/blue pit bull in a dumpster behind a restaurant in the 8800 block on Evergreen Way, according to a PETA press release. The dog was alive inside the suitcase with a rope around her neck.

Patrol officers transported the dog to the Everett Animal Shelter, where staff discovered she had given birth within the last day, the release said. The dog, now named Binny, was underweight, vomiting blood and had abrasions around her neck.

Binny is making steady progress in her recovery and is scheduled for another follow-up examination, said Everett Animal Shelter spokesperson Leslie Wall in an email.
