BALTIMORE — A local group that seeks to stop animal cruelty is offering a $5,000 reward for the arrest of whoever set a dog on fire in November.
According to Show Your Soft Side, the large black and white dog was discovered on November 25 in the 2200 block of Cylburn Avenue suffering from severe injuries.
They said someone had tied the dog to a tree before setting the surrounding area on fire and leaving it there.
The dog later had to be euthanized.
Show Your Soft Side has created an Anti-Cruelty Reward Fund, in partnership with Maryland Animal Cruelty and Animal Fighting Task Force. The fund will be used to help law enforcement fight animal cruelty cases in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Carroll County, Harford County, and Howard County.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Kan with the Baltimore Police Department by phone at 443-257-7402 or email at steven.kan@baltimorepolice.org.
