A Wichita woman accused of abandoning her
made her first appearance in court on Tuesday.
Raykesha Hardyway, 26, is charged with cruelty to animals, a misdemeanor, in the case.
Police say Bowie, a pit bull-boxer mix, was severely malnourished when he was found in a dumpster inside a closed wire kennel.
Bowie continues to recover with a foster family through the Wichita Animal Action League (WAAL). The rescue expects him to be up for adoption in the early spring or summer.
Hardyway is out of jail on a $25,000 bond. She's due back in court on Feb. 13.
