A dog was found dumped on Main Street in East Haven on Friday and the owner has been charged, according to the animal shelter.
The dog, who appears to be between eight and nine years old, was left abandoned after their owner decided they didn't want the dog anymore.
The animal shelter said the dog's owner tried to surrender the dog in nearby towns but ended up dumping him.
At one point, the owner allegedly threatened an animal control officer if they wouldn't accept the dog, according to the animal shelter.
The owner has since been charged with cruelty to animals.
The dog is expected to be available for adoption at a later date.
Anyone with camera footage or information about what happened is asked to contact the shelter at 203-468-3249.
