Petition: Tell Portland Police to Do Everything They Can to Find Dog Who Was Brutally Abused

Portland Man Charged with Animal Abuse, But Dog Remains Missing and Likely in Need of Medical Attention
Earlier this month, surveillance footage from an elevator in Portland, Oregon, revealed a disturbing case of animal abuse that has left authorities and animal welfare advocates urgently seeking answers. The footage shows a man inflicting repeated acts of violence on a dog trapped alongside him in the elevator. While the man has since been taken into custody, the dog’s whereabouts remain unknown.

The distressing video, which surfaced earlier this month, shows the man wielding a heavy rope and swinging it down onto a black dog, who can be seen cowering in terror. Trapped in the confined elevator space, the animal had no means of escape. The video then shows the man hanging the dog from a fire extinguisher mount, proceeding to kick it multiple times in a sustained attack.

Following the release of the footage, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) issued a public appeal for help identifying the man. Shortly after, he was apprehended and is now facing multiple felony charges for aggravated animal abuse. Despite his arrest, the man has reportedly refused to disclose the location or condition of the dog, leaving authorities and the public deeply concerned for its welfare.
The absence of the dog has raised fears that it may be injured and in urgent need of medical care. Advocates are calling on the public to maintain pressure on the Portland Police Bureau to locate the animal, ensuring it receives the treatment and care it needs.
A petition has been launched urging authorities to continue their efforts to find the missing dog, emphasizing the need for immediate medical intervention and a safe, compassionate environment. For now, the case remains open, and the search for the dog continues.
