Maywood NJ, Maywood police are seeking answers after a dog was found abandoned, tied to a street pole on Monday evening. Maywood Police Chief Terence Kenny reported that officers responded to a distress call about a stranded dog at the intersection of Golf Avenue and Steward Street around 7:20 p.m.
Incident Details
Witnesses reported seeing a suspect tying a pit bull to a street sign before leaving the area in a black Acura sedan. Upon arrival, officers discovered the neglected dog, which had a large tumor protruding from its mouth. Bergen County Animal Control quickly took custody of the pit bull, transporting it to the Bergen County Animal Shelter for care.
Investigation Efforts
The dog was found to have a microchip that is 10 years old, though officials are uncertain if it leads back to the most recent owner. The chip traces back to New York City, according to Chief Kenny.
