The Associated Humane Societies in Newark has rescued a 10-month-old female pit bull who had been sodomized by a local resident. Newark Police called officials from the Associated Humane Societies to the scene at 321 Seth Boyden Terrace and an ambulance was immediately dispatched to rescue the dog.

Roseann Trezza, Executive Director of the Associated Humane Societies says two residents witnessed the situation but refused to get involved. “We have two people who saw this terrible act, but no information on the perpetrator. This is a horrendous crime of bestiality and it cannot go unpunished. This dog was terrified and compliant and when she arrived, was totally traumatized. Her body temperature had dropped, she was bleeding and efforts were made to stabilize her and warm her up before she was taken to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls.”

The Associated Humane Societies has posted a $2,500 reward and the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has matched the $2,500 reward. So, $5,000 is being offered for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of this perpetrator. If the perpetrator is found guilty, penalties range up to $7,500 in fines and 18 months behind bars.
