A $1,000 reward is being offered for anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual responsible for dumping a crated dog in a wooded New Jersey area.
The Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park ACO Maria Cymanski responded to a call for an abandoned dog near 1450 West Bay Ave., in Barnegat on Monday, Dec. 28.
There, she found a young, female Siberian Husky mix left in a crate in a wooded area near a gun club, initially spotted by a man leaving the gun club who went over to investigate.
The dog who had a pink collar and was not wearing tags or microchipped had broken out of the crate and was running around it with a leash attached to her.
