Pitbull Found Tied To Shopping Cart, Abandoned Behind Commack Walmart

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - The Suffolk County SPCA is hoping you can help them identify a person of interest after a pit bull was abandoned behind a Wal-Mart in Commack.

The dog was found tied to a shopping cart Tuesday.

Veterinarians determined the pit bull was about 2 years old and had a skin disease, possibly due to malnutrition.

The dog was lactating and SPCA investigators are concerned about the whereabouts of her puppies.

The SPCA is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for abandoning the dog.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the SPCA at (631) 382-7722. All calls will be kept confidential.
