One found dog on Craig’s List from a Tuesday post
[UPDATE: this doggie has been joyfully reunited with his family]

Found—older dog—maybe some type of beagle mix—appears to have cataracts and appears to be hard of hearing. New pink harness—so I know she belongs to someone and is missed dearly. She was walking down the middle of Forest Hill Ave near Powhite Parkway. Please contact me if this is your dog or if you know who she belongs to—I know she wants to get back to familiar surroundings.  Reply to: comm-jqwbz-1112276368@craigslist.org

Still Missing

Chunk & Sally. Sally’s family is very desperate to get her back and have been posting nearly daily on Craig’s List and have offered a $2oo reward.

Chunk is an awesome name.

Chunk is a neutered male (green linetattoo), American Pit Bull Terrier about 10-11 months  old who is up to date on all vaccines. He was lost in Fredricksburg area while on a trial period prior to adoption. Ring Dog Rescue and foster parent were not notified for 2 days so he could be anywhere including making his way back to Richmond. Chunk is good with other dogs and great with people. Will come to you when called and is a very happy healthy boy. If seen or found please contact  Ring Dog Rescue at 804-363-2943 or 804-928-8138 or email: ringdog@ringdogrescue.org. If you cannot hold on to the dog please take him to a local shelter and notify us asap!!!!! Thank you and please circulate to any and all who may see him between here and Fredricksburg.

Ring Dog Rescue is a great organization be sure to check out their website to learn more about the work they are doing to help some misunderstood breeds.

From Craig’s list:

My dog Sally is extremely scared of people. We recently adopted her but on the same day she escaped from us when we tried taking her to the vet. She’s very friendly but extremely scared of people and runs away when confronted. She may also be deaf in both ears. She’s a white boxer mix weighing about 42 lbs. She’s very skinny as she hasn’t been eating well in quite a while. She’s recently been seen hiding in the woods across from George Wythe High School on Crutchfield Street. I’m really afraid she may run in the street and get hit by a car. I have tried to catch her but have had no success. Animal Control has also been unable to catch her. If someone can please SAFELY catch her and return her to me I will give you a CASH reward. PLEASE help we really want Sally to be home and safe. If you find her PLEASE CALL 804-591-6796 or 804-614-8419.

This cute but shy pup was seen on 1/10 at approx. 2:45 between W. 42nd and W. 41st streets. She (I believe) had no collar and seemed to be wondering aimlessly. Richmond animal control apparently doesn’t work on the weekends as they didn’t answer the phone. If you hear of anyone that may be missing their dog, please pass along the photo.
