TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Humane Society of Tampa Bay said Thursday that a dog was found locked in a crate near a dumpster with a string tied around its neck.

"Yet again, the team at HSTB is faced with a horrid abuse case and an emaciated dog," the animal shelter posted on Facebook.

HSTB said the dog, named Hermes, was found in a trailer park off Nebraska Avenue.

"Hermes is skin and bones, with no muscle mass, and flea-bitten ears," officials said.

The HSTB team said Hermes is resting and getting the help he needs.

No other details were immediately available.
