MALIBU—An animal-rights group offered a $2,500 reward July 8 for information leading to the person or people who abandoned a German shepherd in a remote area of Malibu Creek Canyon with zip ties around its mouth and neck.
According to In Defense of Animals, the dog was found by hikers around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. They were able to remove the zip ties and summoned law enforcement and county animal control officials.
