The brown puppy is reportedly in good health and has an excellent demeanor with people.

Police received a call from a resident at 12:08 a.m. that the driver of a silver Honda had dumped the puppy in the carrier at , 600 East Gladstone Street. After seeing the car leave, the caller reportedly approached the object and realized what was inside, said Lieutenant Rob Lamborghini.


"It's very, very sweet. It's a chubby little stocky thing. It appears that it was abandoned there, for what reason, I don't know," said Jolene Miller, animal control officer. "It's very docile. No signs of aggression whatsoever."

An officer picked up the abandoned dog and took it to the Glendora Police Station and it is now in the care of Animal Control.

Officials reportedly did not find any microchip divulging owner information. The puppy will eventually be taken to the Inland Valley Humane Society some time this week, Miller said.
