Bella was last spotted Monday night, January 4th, near Glenarm, in the vicinity of Covered Bridge Road & Wayside Meadows. She was wearing a brown leather buckle collar with a red bone shaped nametag. Bella is somewhat skittish so, if seen, do not chase, but call the number on the flyer above. Let's try to get Bella back home ASAP. Thank you!

We can also use First Class Forever stamps, and Casey's Gas Gift Cards in any amount really help us save on fuel costs, what with our vehicles being driven many miles per month picking up and transporting animals to adoptions, hospitals, other facilities, etc.
Thank you!

PROTECT YOUR PETS!
People are urged not to leave their dogs unattended for even a few minutes in their yard or any public place. Even dogs in fenced yards with locked gates are at risk, so keep a really close eye on your pet and, if you notice any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area, call your local law enforcement agency immediately. And, though we would never advocate violence, the law does allow for homeowners to protect their property ...including their pets ... by any means necessary.
