Dog Left for Dead With Eyes Gouged Out Getting Better

Puppy, Andre, used for target practice

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - A dog that was left for dead in a plastic bag is doing better on Saturday, and the reward for information that helps police find his tormentor is bigger.

Andre was found in a Dumpster in Buckeye a little more than two weeks ago. He had appparently been used as target practice for BB guns.

The veterinarian who is treating him said she had never seen a living dog with such terrible anemia, but after a blood transfusion, his is doing better.

His eyes were gouged out, but his eye sockets are healing well after his surgery.

Andre is now taking short walks and has a good appetite, and he is sleeping for most of the time.

He's also heading up to Sedona with his foster family, where he will be fed every two hours.

Andre has diabetes -- but is now on insulin.

He’s also enjoying being petted.

PETA has posted a $1,000 reward for the capture of Andre's abuser.

The Animal Guardian Network has said it will match that amount, making the reward total $2,000.

To keep posted on Andre’s condition, visit www.firstgiving.com and type "Andre dog."
