Salinas Animal Services looking for answers after dog found dead, severely burned
Salinas Animal Services is looking for information about what it said is a horrific animal cruelty case.
On Aug. 2, Salinas police responded to a call about a dead dog that appeared to be severely burned in an East Salinas neighborhood. When officers got there, they found a medium-sized dog that was dead and badly burned.
Officers said it was a 35 pound female dog with reddish-brown fur, but the burns were too severe to determine the dog’s age or breed. It had no identification and appeared to have been dead for several days.
