I had a rough night. Taking my sister home, I found two dead puggles on the side of the road. They were on the shoulder of the road and a car could have come along and rolled over them, so I stopped and put them on the grass. I called the shelter who does dead animal removal and went looking to see if someone posted those dogs as missing.
What I DID find was that someone had posted these dogs on Craiglist two days before saying if these are your dogs or you know whose they are, come get them, because they're playing really close to the road.
So so sad...
I'm just glad there was a picture one of the dogs, now I can picture him alive in my head, his tail wagging, instead of bloody and dead.
While looking for the owners of these dogs, I can across a found yorkie post, and I am sharing, because MAYBE it's a dog that one of us knows. Sorry if this was already posted.
FOUND - Yorkie (3/18/13)
Yorkie found on Monday 3/18/13 around 4:30 pm in Egg Harbor Township off of Tremont Ave. It crawled under our fence and got stuck in our back yard. It was raining and cold, so I brought him/her in and was going to drive him/her home, but there was only a collar and no tags.
If you are missing your Yorkie, and he/she went missing around this time in this general area of South Jersey, please contact me. We have called animal control, police, and other organizations to no avail.
If you are missing your Yorkie, and you think this may be yours, please include the following information: Dog's sex, whether he/she has been fixed, approximate age, approximate weight, general description, collar color and type, and some basic personality information (ie: some of the quirky things he/she does regularly).
If the information you provide is consistent with the Yorkie I found, I will be asking for a picture as additional confirmation.
I have a lot of experience with Yorkies, and I know how they are high in demand. I am being extra cautious about finding the RIGHT owner, and that is why I am requiring so much detailed information and picture confirmation. In the meantime, I will be holding onto the Yorkie as he/she gets along well with my other dogs, and will continue to try to reunite the dog with his/her family over the next couple of weeks. Please contact me if you believe you are the owner and are able to prove it adequately. thanks!
