“Maybe we’ll never know the name she has always known, what she has been through, or why you didn't go to another door at our building to talk to someone instead of just leaving her tied up…” said the shelter in its post.

The shelter says the dog will be safe until she finds a new home “with someone who will love her forever.

Pictures were released of the woman seen on surveillance video, as well as the car she was believed to be in. If you have any information, call the shelter or Salem police.
