MATTHEW B. GUZMAN accused of abandoning a dog in the house he moved out from

- Maine, USA -


~ Update: November 17, 2022


I have emailed the Caribou Police Department to request the dog’s age, breed, and name.

In an email, Police told me that the furbaby’s name is Hash and he is a mixed Pitbull. His age is unknown.



~ Original story:


The Caribou Police Department announced that the individual who left abandoned a dog locked inside the home he moved out from has been identified.


Police said that 31-years-old MATTHEW B. GUZMAN turned himself in on the evening of November 14, 2022.


According to Bangor Daily News, the dog was found locked inside a closet on November 9, 2022, by the new owners of the home in question, on Belanger Road. After police were alerted to the situation, the furbaby was placed in the care of the Central Aroostook Humane Society in Presque.

Police said the dog had been left in the vacant home for quite some time.


Coral Adams, main kennel technician at the Central Aroostook Humane Society, told Bangor Daily News: “He is underweight but not severely emaciated. He did go without food, but he wasn’t there long enough for it to cause any type of permanent damage.”


GUZMAN is charged with animal cruelty, a misdemeanor that carries up to only 364 days in jail, a court-imposed ban on possessing any animals in the future, and a fine not less than $500.

Injured dog found abandoned tied to a tree with markings all over his body prompts investigation

- Queensland, Australia -


The RSPCA QLD is reaching out to the public for information after a dog was found abandoned “tied to a tree with puncture injuries to his neck and marker drawings covering his body.”


The nonprofit said in a Facebook post that the furbaby, a large tan male Mastiff cross, was found on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, at Tovey Park, Parklands Drive, Boronia Heights.

An RSPCA Inspector rescued the dog who is now receiving veterinary care at the RSPCA.


An investigation has been launched but investigators have not yet determined who the dog’s guardian is and how the furbaby became injured.


RSPCA Queensland spokesperson Emma Lagoon said: “As you can imagine, this poor dog is quite scared and is getting all the care he needs right now to hopefully overcome his ordeal and make a full recovery.”


If you have any information about this egregious crime please come forward and speak up for the VOICELESS VICTIM.

Please, contact the RSPCA's 24/7 emergency hotline on 1300 264 625. Thank you!


The discovery of this dog comes just one month after a deceased dog was left tied to a tree a few kilometers away (last picture).

On the morning of Sunday, August 14, 2022, a member of the public who was bird watching found the dog, a male American Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, in Wyampa Road, Bald Hills.

RSPCA Queensland performed a necropsy on the VOICELESS VICTIM. Upon first inspection, it appeared the dog may have died from being tangled around the tree, but veterinary exams have confirmed the dog died from blunt force trauma to the head.
