Arrest made after dogs abandoned at Colonial Heights animal shelter

VIRGINIA -- An arrest has been made after three dogs were abandoned at the Colonial Heights animal shelter last week.

Christopher Ryan Lucy was arrested on Wednesday and faces three felony counts of cruelty to animals, one misdemeanor count of trespassing and three counts of failing to provide food, water and shelter.

The shelter told 8News that someone pulled up in a pick-up truck on Wednesday and threw the dogs over the shelter’s fence.

 

 

 

 

Even though the shelter did not mention a time of the incident, a picture posted on the shelter’s Facebook page showed that it was dark at the time the animals were left behind.
