Pup thrown into snowbank in East Stroudsburg

Someone threw this puppy out of a car and into a snow bank at Walmart in East Stroudsburg, leaving her shivering, scared and possibly injured.


It happened around 3 p.m. Thursday.


The pup, possibly a shepherd mix, is only about six weeks old.


A Good Samaritan took her to Animal Welfare Society of Monroe, a no-kill shelter in Stroudsburg.


The shelter staff named her Bonnie Bell, simply because they decided "the name is cute, just like her."


They don't have details about what happened, only that a witness told them the pup had been thrown from the car onto a hard-packed and icy snowbank. That witness was so concerned about the pup that he or she did not get a license number.


Kim Loffio, the shelter's general manager, asked anyone else who saw what happened to call.


Loffio said the puppy does not seem to be in pain, but may have been injured when thrown, because she's walking "bow-legged."


The shelter's veterinarian is going to evaluate Bonnie Bell this weekend.


After photos of the puppy were posted on the shelter's website, several people expressed an interest in adopting her.


But Loffio said she still is too young to be adopted.


For information about adopting pets from the shelter, which is at 3129 Godfrey Ridge Drive in Stroudsburg, call 570-421-3647.
