DANVILLE, Va. – The Danville Area Humane Society is offering a $750 reward for the recovery of a dog that was thrown from a moving car Monday night.

It happened in the Ballou Park area at around 8:15 p.m.

A witness saw a black chihuahua being thrown out of a car; the dog was last seen running in the direction of McDonald’s, just beyond Ballou Park Shopping Center.

The witness was unable to get a license number, and her efforts to locate the animal were unsuccessful.

The humane society is offering a reward to anyone who is able to locate the dog, capture it and bring the chihuahua to the animal shelter.

In a statement posted on Facebook, the DAHS said: “We will keep the stray the time required by law and then find him a home where he will never again have to worry about suffering at the hands of humans.”
