Man Abandons Dog At Long Island Welcome Center [VIDEO]

Suffolk County SPCA is looking for information surrounding a dog that was abandoned at the Long Island Welcome Center on Tuesday night.

A man wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and shorts pulled into the Long Island Welcome Center, located at Exit 51 on the Long Island Expressway in Dix Hills, and removed two Australian Shepherd's from his dark-colored SUV, possibly a Chevy Tahoe, at 9:50 p.m.

The man put the dogs, both wearing leashes, into the dog pen on the property. He is then seen on surveillance video retrieving one of the dogs, leaving one male dog abandoned with no food or water, police say.

The SPCA is asking for the public's help to identify the person responsible for abandoning the dog.

The investigation is ongoing.

"We urge anyone with information to contact the Suffolk County SPCA so that we are able to bring the individual(s) responsible for this blatant act of animal cruelty to swift justice," SPCA said.

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