$500 Reward Offered for Twiggy's Abuser

On Feb. 14, a severely emaciated and dehydrated dog was found in the area of Stratford Avenue and Lupes Drive (see photo gallery).

Named by her caretakers, "Twiggy" had to spend a few days at a veterinarian for fluids and special care. A couple weeks after being found abandoned she was adopted by a retired Cheshire resident.

Now the Stratford Animal Rescue Society (STARS) is offering a $500 reward to the first person that provides information to that leads to an arrest.

"THIS IS A CRIME" reads a flyer with photos of Twiggy on the day she was found tied to the dumpster.

If you have information that could potentially lead to an arrest, you are urged to call Stratford Animal Control at 203.385.4068.
