A felony animal cruelty case leads San Diego Humane Society’s Law Enforcement team to seek information from the public with a financial incentive for any information leading to an arrest.
The SDHS Law Enforcement team found a four-year-old Dogue De Bordeaux on July 2 in San Diego’s Websters neighborhood with a chain embedded in his neck, causing open wounds all around.
Authorities brought him to SDHS’s Pilar & Chuck Bahde Center for Shelter Medicine where he received immediate care for his pains, and the chain was removed. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case.
“We are hoping someone may recognize this dog and may have seen something that can assist our investigating officers,” said Chief of Humane Law Enforcement Bill Ganley. “We want to encourage the owner or owners to contact us to discuss this case.”
