The poor dog thrown out of a moving car during a police pursuit in Los Angeles is not being returned to its owner for the time being … instead, it’ll be staying with a local humane society.
Daniel Pena — the animal control supervisor at the Inland Valley Humane Society & SPCA — tells TMZ … the pooch will remain in their care, for now, while an investigation into Thursday’s incident plays out.
As we reported … the dog was tossed out of the window of some scumbag’s truck Thursday as the driver was leading police on a high-speed chase.
Cops tell us the suspect is a 47-year-old man named Robin Luna and the chase started with a reported vandalism.

The guy was initially charged with felony evading but now we’re told prosecutors are going to tack on animal cruelty charges.
As a result, the SPCA says the dog will remain in protective custody with them until further notice.
Fortunately, the dog survived and appears to have avoided life-threatening injuries … although it’s a good bet the pup is shaken up.
