A man has been arrested in connection to a malnourished dog found abandoned in Stratford earlier this year. The severely malnourished dog was discovered on Access Road on August 4, with clearly visible ribs and a massive flea infestation. The man, a 36-year-old from New Haven, was identified as the dog’s owner and responsible for her condition. He turned himself in to Stratford police after an arrest warrant was secured on September 16 and was charged with cruelty to animals. The man was released after posting a $100 bond and is due in court in November. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances that led to the dog being abandoned and are working to ensure justice is served. Animal cruelty is a serious offense and it is important that those responsible are held accountable for their actions. The well-being of animals should always be a top priority, and cases like this highlight the importance of reporting any suspicions of abuse or neglect. This arrest serves as a reminder that animal abuse will not be tolerated, and those who mistreat animals will face the consequences of their actions.
