SPCA increases reward for information on animal abuse case to $5,000
UPDATE 8/23/2019 9:00 a.m. The SPCA has increased its reward from $1,000 to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of who ever was involved in a recent animal cruelty case.
The SPCA is helping the Monterey County Animal Services’ investigation into a case where a dog was found with a carabiner-type clip pierced through its skin and attached to a chain connected to clumps of concrete. The 1-year-old husky mix, now named Neil, was found on Aug. 3 on Armstrong Road.
Neil was treated by veterinarians and is expected to make a full recovery.
“Animal Services appreciates the support of the SPCA for Monterey County as we try to find out who committed this horrific act and encourages the public to report any information they may have to help bring justice for this sweet young dog,” said City Burnham, the Animal Services Administrator for Monterey County Animal Services.
The increase in the reward was the result of a donor.
