WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Prince William County Police have opened an animal cruelty investigation after an emaciated dog was found abandoned at a Woodbridge park over the weekend.
On Sunday, officers responded to investigate a dog that was found at C. Lacey Compton Neighborhood Park on River Ridge Boulevard in Woodbridge the morning prior.
An investigation revealed that an extremely emaciated dog was left at the park by an unknown man who then drove away in a newer model white Range Rover.
Police say someone took the dog to the Prince William County Animal Services Center where the dog, identified as a male mixed-breed Hound dog between 6-12 months old, got medical care and is resting comfortably at this time.
PWC Animal Services is asking for the public's help identifying the dog and information about the events leading up to the dog being left on the morning of March 2.
Anyone with more information is asked to please contact Prince William County Police on their tipline 703-792-7000.
