An unidentified employee at the Pinal County Animal Care and Control in Casa Grande, Ariz., was placed on leave after putting the female shepherd mix to sleep by mistake, county officials said.
"When it comes to euthanizing an animal, there are some clear-cut procedures to follow," Ruth Stalter, the shelter's director, said in a statement. "Based on my preliminary investigation, our employee did not follow those procedures."
