<\/div>\n

The new owners were deeply saddened by the neglected state of the pup and couldn\u2019t fathom how someone could abandon a pet in such a cruel manner, devoid of food and water. They promptly alerted the authorities about the distressing situation.<\/p>\n

Swift Action and Justice<\/p>\n

The police and humane society quickly responded to the call, rescuing the malnourished Pitbull mix and providing urgent medical attention.<\/p>\n

Officer Douglas Bell stated, \u201cOnce we\u2019re able to interview the owner and assess the dog\u2019s condition, we\u2019ll determine the appropriate charges.\u201d The dog had been left alone for a prolonged period in the foreclosed and vacant building.<\/p>\n

Legal Action Taken<\/p>\n

Under Maine laws, the cruel owner faced charges of Animal Cruelty, a class D misdemeanor, with penalties of imprisonment up to 364 days and a ban on owning animals. Additionally, they were fined not less than $500 to cover the pup\u2019s medical expenses.<\/p>\n

The Caribou Police Department expressed gratitude for the public\u2019s assistance and ensured that the dog was receiving the necessary care.<\/p>\n

Chief Michael Gahagan and the department thanked the Central Aroostook Humane Society, the Maine State Animal Welfare Office, and the public for their support in the dog\u2019s rescue and recovery.<\/p>\n

Final Message<\/p>\n
