Surveillance video shows a man dumping a pitbull outside of the Humane Society in Atlantic County. Workers there say police have a suspect and they believe the man did this to three other dogs back in April. NBC10’s Yukare Nakayama has the latest.
The Humane Society of Atlantic County is asking for the public's help in identifying a man who, they claim, keeps dumping dogs at the shelter in the middle of the night.
Video posted to the organization's Facebook page shows a man picking up a dog and tossing it over their fence early Monday morning.
The organization claims it's the fourth time the same man has dumped a dog at their facility located on Absecon Avenue in Atlantic City. The man reportedly can be seen each time driving a black Cadillac sedan.
Executive Director of the Humane Society Steven Dash said not much is known of the dog the man left behind but the fact that she is a four to five year Pit bull with very distinct scarring on her back.
