This is not the outcome we were striving and hoping for and we really need the public's help in finding the person or persons responsible."See below for full details.Menands -- The Mohawk Hudson Humane Society is asking for anyone who may have seen three pitbull puppies being abused on railroad tracks in the City of Albany to come forward.
