The backstory:<\/p>\n
According to the Harris County Pct. 1 Constable\u2019s Office, the mixed-breed puppy, named Nyla, was rescued from a home in Humble and taken to the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for treatment. The puppy is believed to be around three months old.<\/p>\n
The constable\u2019s office says Nyla had multiple broken bones in various stages of healing, which can indicate ongoing abuse. The puppy is continuing to recover from its injuries.<\/p>\n
An adult dog was also rescued from the same home, officials say. According to the constable’s office, that dog had a broken rib and at least one object resembling a pellet lodged in its skin. The dog is also being cared for by the Houston SPCA.<\/p>\n
