DELAVAN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A 48-year-old Elkhorn man was cited for abandoning two malnourished dogs in a Walmart parking lot in Delavan.

A charge of intentionally abandoning animals was referred to the Walworth County District Attorney's Office for review.

Delavan police want to remind everyone if you are having trouble caring for your pets, Lakeland Animal Shelter is a non-kill animal shelter.
