Lost Dog Alert . . .
The following message was received at Benld Adopt-A-Pet on November 21, 2022 at 01:54 AM
We were wondering if you had seen our dog, MAGGIE or if you could post her on your website or fb page?
She could be headed your way!
Maggie was LOST on November 16, 2022 on Lucy Rd, Lake Ozark, MO 65049. She was last seen by a neighbor walking his dogs at noon. A lady pulled over in a light colored, newer model SUV, out of state plates (maybe). She had Maggie in the backseat. She asked if he knew her owners, then drove away, with Maggie still in the backseat. Maggie is well taken care of and loved, and she does love to run. I'm sure the lady assumed Maggie was a stray because she did not have a collar. Maggie is really missed by her family and bestfriend, Rita the dachshund, who has been crying and looking for her ever since she was taken. Desperate to get her back.
GENEROUS REWARD
Please call: 573-480-6097
Description:
Red, short haired smooth terrier mix, tipped ears, spayed, black and gray muzzle, docked tail, white belly, white spots on some of her feet, 6 or 7 yrs old, 27 lbs
