A puppy was found wandering in DeKalb County over the weekend with a thick rubber band wrapped around its mouth and nose.

Krysta Cannon from Angels Among Us Pet Rescue told 11Alive News that the snout on the little puppy -- who has been given the name Maddux -- was tethered and likely taped shut.

Veterinarians for Angels Among Us have given little Maddux a full exam and he's now recuperating.

Staffers at Angels Among Us said Maddux is with a foster home now, and they're expecting him to undergo a slow but steady full recovery process. They're also looking for a forever home for him.

Anyone with information about what happened to little Maddux is asked to contact DeKalb Police.
