Groveland Police Department Chief Jeffrey Gillen announced that the Department will “summons a woman to court for abandoning a puppy in an alleyway.”
On the afternoon of Monday, April 17, 2023, Groveland Police received a report about an abandoned Australian Shepheard puppy. Officers responded to Sweet Paws Rescue on 310 Main Street in Groveland and learned the puppy was found in an alleyway near the rescue facility.
In a brief news release of April 18, 2023, police said that they were “seeking information about the woman captured on surveillance footage in connection with the incident.”
Police described the suspect as a blonde female driving a black Mazda SUV who was last seen wearing a black Maine School of Law sweatshirt. Police said: “The woman is sought on suspicion of animal cruelty.”
Thankfully, the puppy was not injured and no additional details were released.
In an updated press release police said that the woman, whose identity has not been disclosed because she has not been arrested, will be summoned to appear at the Haverhill District Court at a later date to face the charge of animal cruelty.

I’m so glad this baby was found. He deserves so much better than to be just discarded. This woman must be held responsible for recklessly abandoning this wee soul.
