The Viejas Band Kumeyaay Indians donated $2,500 to help care for a dog that was found with gunshot wounds.

The dog was found on the reservation on February 20. It had been shot in the chest.

“This shooting goes against everything Viejas stands for and we will do everything we can to make sure Chance eventually gets to a home where he can know the safety, comfort and love that he deserves,” Chairman Anthony R. Pico said in a statement, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Authorities are offering a $3,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the shooting case.
