Titan, a pitbull mix, was surrendered to the Garland Animal Shelter in March and was adopted Friday, KXAS-TV (NBC5) reported.

The dog was found dead Saturday on Dowdy Ferry Road, a notorious dumping ground for dogs, trash, and occasionally human bodies, rescue group Dallas DogRRR said on Facebook.

The road runs through parts of southeast Dallas, Rylie and Hutchins. The location where the dog was discovered was not provided.

Dallas police and the SPCA of Texas are investigating the death as an animal cruelty incident, NBC5 reported.

No information was available about a possible suspect.
