CUMRU AREA, Pa. – Animal rescue employees are asking the general public’s help in recognizing the owners of a dog discovered abandoned in the City of Reading.
The Department of Animal Protection at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County (ARL) is asking the neighborhood for any details on the owners of a Siberian Husky-type dog got rid of Thursday early morning from at home at 1417 Monroe Street.
“We received an animal cruelty complaint for this address on August 2, and after arriving at the property, we noticed the dog tethered to a stake in the backyard with no water. We provided water to the canine while contact was established with the owners,” said Sergeant Hayden Carroll, supervisor of the Department of Animal Protection at the ARL.
“We arrived back at the scene this morning, and an eviction notice was posted on the property door. Neighbors indicated that they saw the family move out yesterday, leaving the dog behind, which gave us the authority to take possession of the dog while we investigate the case.”
Dr. John Hurst, vet at the ARL, took a look at the dog and developed that he searched in good body condition and no indications of serious dehydration were discovered.
Any individual with details on the owners of this dog is asked to get in touch with the ARL at 610-373-8830 ext. 400.
