Call your local animal control, SPCA, animal welfare group or the police. Tell them exactly what has happened and what you think might be going on. Chances are nothing can be done as animals are treated the same as owning a car (property) BUT since this dog could not walk you might have a chance with abuse in this situation as he did not go after vet services etc. Please understand there is nothing against the law in regards to having a puppy mill - that is why they exist - but mis-treating animals and keeping them in poor conditions is about the only thing that can stop this type of actions. I don't know about your state but it might be illegal to shoot a dog but some states allow it.

Each state has animal laws on their books but sad to say most are very limited and there are hugh lobbyists’ when it comes to trying to change some of them..
