SUFFOLK COUNTY SPCA OFFERS REWARD FOR PERSON(S) WHO TORTURED DOG

The Suffolk County SPCA is offering a $2,500.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) who tortured and abandoned a female pit bull. Roy Gross, Chief of the Suffolk County SPCA said that on Sunday August 15th, a resident of Brown Ave., Amityville was walking in a wooded area on Brown Ave. and spotted the dog inside of a closed storage container. The emaciated dog appeared to have recently given birth and had wounds on its body indicating that it had been tortured. The resident took the dog to a Veterinarian where it was found to be lactating. Gross said that anyone with information on the dog should call the Suffolk County SPCA at 631-382-7722. All calls will be kept confidential.
