A man abandoned a sick dog at a shelter in the Inland Empire and police are seeking the public’s help in identifying him.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, the Upland Police Department said that the man took the dog to an animal shelter on Thursday, leaving her there without telling anyone.
The dog, a female, was left outside in the heat without food, shelter or water, police said. She was outside for hours before being discovered.
