- Virginia, USA -
Prince William County Police are looking for the individual caught on camera abandoning a dog at the Prince William County Animal Services Center on 14807 Bristow Road in Manassas.
In a news release police said that animal control officers launched an investigation on June 30, after finding the dog, a female Pitbull.
Police said video surveillance showed that “at approximately 12:34AM, a light-colored SUV parked in front of the center entrance. A man is then seen exiting the vehicle carrying a dog, identified as a Tri-colored female Pitbull between 1-2 years-old. The suspect then attached one end of a leather leash to the dog and the other end to the front door handle before leaving the area. At some point during the early morning hours, the dog was able to loosen the leash and was later located wandering near the front of the building by construction workers.”
Daily Voice reports that the furbaby has been named Ref.
Ref was found to be emaciated and in poor health. The furbaby is currently receiving treatment at the shelter.
As indicated in the news release, the suspect is a male “with obvious facial hair,” last seen wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a blue panel on the sides, and a reflective stripe across the back and on the sleeves.
If you recognize the person in the picture or if you have any information about this case, please, come forward and speak up for the VOICELESS VICTIM.
