WYTHE COUNTY, Va. – Police have arrested the man who shot a dog in Wythe County in April, according to the Wythe County Sheriff’s Office.
On April 29, authorities said they received the report of a wounded animal with multiple gunshot wounds.
Last week, that dog, Luke, was taken to Pulaski Animal Care and Control Rescue (PACC Rescue) after he was shot three times, according to officers.
As of Thursday, Luke’s surgery has been postponed because his blood levels haven’t been stable enough, according to PACC Rescue. The rescue center said it will do another blood level check on Saturday.

PULASKI COUNTY, Va. – A dog is fighting for his life after he was shot in Wythe County.
That dog, Luke, was taken to Pulaski Animal Care and Control Rescue (PACC Rescue) last week after he was shot three times.
He had to have his tail amputated and may lose his leg.
The veterinarian bills could cost around $4,000. PACC Rescue is asking for monetary donations, towels and flat memory foam dog beds for Luke.
“Get back to the life that he deserves. That to me would mean more than I, I couldn’t say enough. I wouldn’t be able to show the gratitude I would have to help Luke,” said Missy Viars, the co-director of PACC Rescue.
