The dog, believed to be a pitbull-mix puppy, required immediate veterinary care after being abandoned on the property.

Authorities are currently searching for the pet’s owner, who may face animal cruelty charges.

The new owners of a Maine property discovered an abandoned, starving puppy in a hidden cupboard.

Officer Douglas Bell told the Bangor Daily News, ‘Once the humane society examines him, we’ll have a better notion as to whether he’s been infected or has had major injuries.

Once we are able to interview the dog’s owner and determine the dog’s condition, we will have a better notion of how to charge them.

The dog is currently in police custody until a state animal welfare official transports it to the Central Aroostook Humane Society in Presque Isle for treatment.

Recently purchased, the Caribou residence was set to undergo renovations when the puppy was discovered.

It began acting aggressively after cops removed it from the closet since it had been abandoned and had not eaten for some time.

Police in Caribou said that the dog had not been properly cared for in a long time.

It is not thought that the former owners of the residence abandoned the dog.

The dog was left at the house when it was empty, meaning after the former owner had moved out but before the new owner moved in.

The possibility that two homeless people owned the neglected canine is one line of inquiry.

They may have squatted in the home during the months it was vacant until the current owners came in, according to the police.

Depending on the dog’s condition, those detained could be charged with cruelty or aggravated cruelty to animals.

For each infringement, a conviction might result in a fine of $500 plus the expense of medical care.

The owner may also be prohibited from owning or working with animals for five years.

  1. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial.
