staff posted on Facebook that around 3 p.m., a dog had been found in a roadside ditch near Harrison Memorial Hospital on Old Lair Road.

“This dog was found barely alive in a roadside ditch and was rushed to us in hopes our vet could save her,” Harison County animal rights advocates wrote. “It was determined she was in excruciating pain, and the heartbreaking decision to euthanize her in loving arms was made.”

Members at the shelter reportedly named her Whisper.

Around 4 p.m. on Saturday, the shelter announced that James Maggard and Madison Smith, both 19 years old, from Cynthiana, were arrested and charged with torture of a dog or cat.
