In response to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office request for the public’s help to identify the owner of two small dogs that had been intentionally abandoned in Sunken Meadow State Park in March, the Suffolk County Police Department received a tip that led to the arrest of Roger Guzman-Gomez, 43, of Selden on April 18. Guzman-Gomez is due to be arraigned in Suffolk County First District Court on May 8. Both Thelma and Louise have since been adopted.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Jack Nicholas of the Biological, Environmental and Animal Safety Team (BEAST).

Below is the original press release:

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the Suffolk County Police Department, and Crime Stoppers are seeking the public’s help in identifying and locating the individual(s) wanted in connection to the abandonment of two small dogs in Kings Park.

On March 5, at approximately 12:10 p.m., an unknown subject driving a tan or gold SUV was seen pushing two small white dogs out of the subject’s car, releasing them into Sunken Meadow State Park, and then fleeing. The two dogs were subsequently located and brought to the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter covered in ticks. The dogs were not microchipped and had no other identifying information.

The Town of Smithtown renamed the dogs “Thelma” and “Louise.” They are both mixed breed dogs. Thelma, who has since been adopted, is estimated to be four years old. Louise is estimated to be two years old.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-8477. Crime Stoppers has pledged a reward of up to $5,000 for any information that results in an arrest. The public can also provide information directly to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office at: https://suffolkcountyny.gov/da/Contact-Us/Report-Animal-Abuse-Neglect-or-Illegal-Possession- of-an-Exotic-or-Dangerous-Animal

MEET LOUISE!

This week’s shelter pet is Louise, a 7-year-old tabby cat currently up for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter.

This petite beauty is as outgoing and loving as they come. Found as a stray by a Good Samaritan in July, Louise was looking for love (and food) the second she arrived at the shelter. 

This little lady has advanced kidney disease so she may have months or just a year or two, but it will be packed with love and affection. 

If you would like to meet Louise, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.

The Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown. Visitor hours are currently Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Sundays and Wednesday evenings by appointment only).

Update: Louise has been adopted!

MEET LOUISE!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Louise, a 2-year-old hound mix rescued from the Bahamas after the hurricane.  Louise is a super sweet girl, with a tail that never stops wagging. She’s pretty low keyed but gets excited to see the kennel staff when they arrive in the morning. 

Louise is also great with other dogs. Come on down and meet her! She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all her vaccines and ready for a new start in life.

Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road in Calverton. The adoption center is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on Louise and other adoptable pets at Kent, call 631-727-5731 or visit www.kentanimalshelter.com.
