RICHMOND, Va. -- Richmond Animal Care and Control officials are making a passionate plea to the public in hopes of finding the people responsible for neglecting two dogs.

Officials posted on Facebook Friday afternoon that two severely emaciated young dogs were recently found in the city.

"This is getting ridiculous," reads the post. "Quint (black and white) was found off Charity Street in Gilpin Court and had we assume had been locked in a crate (he was covered with urine and feces) resulting in curvature of his spine."
