- Virginia, USA -
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is offering a reward of up to $7,000 for information in an animal cruelty case which is being investigated by Newport News Animal Welfare.
In a news release, Newport News Animal Welfare said that on Monday, July 11, 2022, at about 8:40 a.m. its officers were called to the 2500 block of Marshall Avenue for a report of a deceased dog beside a trash dumpster.
Upon arrival, officers found a lifeless female Cane Corso inside a wire crate.
A necropsy performed on the furbaby revealed that she was 1 to 2 years old and “most likely died from an act of animal cruelty.”
Newport News Animal Welfare did not reveal specifics on the cause of death.
The initial investigation concluded the dog was pushed to the dumpster in a wire crate that was placed on the frame of a baby stroller.
Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to come forward and do the right thing. Please, call the Newport News Animal Welfare Division at (757) - 933 - 8953. Thank you!
