Found Golden Retriever

Found Dog

FOUND DOG. On Saturday (1/28) evening a young, un-neutered male black & tan coonhound came into our yard. Our house is in McDowell Co. off of 226 S (Stellar View Estates) right near the junction of 226 and 64, not too far from the Rutherford County line on 64. Anyway, I'm contacting as many surrounding counties as I can, as well as vets offices & lost pet websites, as I fear he may have been in the area (and not close to home) hunting or something of the like and became separated from his owner. Not knowing where he started from I'm not sure where the owners may start to look for him, if they even are. I've attached two pictures. I took him to our vet this morning to be scanned for a micro-chip, but he is not chipped. They did take a quick look at him and figure he is b/t 1-2 years old and in pretty good health. I'm not sure how long he was on his own, but he is only a little bit skinny so probably not long. If you could put him on your "found" list I would really appreciate it in case his family calls you all. I've been working diligently all day trying to get this information out and about in case they start to look for him. Please email me with any questions. Thank you so much!

Found Dog

March 2, 2011. I live off of Big Island Road and a male chocolate lab (mix?) is hanging out at my house. I have a black lab. This dog is smaller than my lab so he may be a little under a year. He has no collar, but he knows how to sit. I called Animal Control and they have no record of him. I don’t mind taking care of him and taking him to Hinkle’s but he needs to be neutered and have his shots, but I don’t want to do it if it’s someone’s dog. Any ideas? If this is your dog, please call Heidi at (828) 245-0095 ext 105.

January 1, 2011. We found a dog (more like he found us) He looks like either a pit bull mix or an American bulldog, sorry I don’t have a pic. He is all white with a black nose, has a couple very small brown dots on ears. He must be a family pet because he is excellent with small children as well as other dogs. He is very well mannered and housebroken. I think I should add that he is not neutered and his ears and tail are not cropped and no collar. We found him on Race Path Church Rd in Ellenboro, just off Main St. Hopefully I can find his people, I know if he was my dog, I would definitely be missing him. Thank You.

The best way to list a Found Pet is much the same as listing a Lost Pet.

If you have found a pet in Rutherford County, the best thing you can do is to get the word out in a hurry. If you have a picture of the found pet, make flyers with large picture of the pet, identifying marks or characteristics. Include the date and place the pet was found. Put them in places like the stores and Post Office near you. Post them at street corners. Call the local vets and describe the pet to them and then take posters for the veterinary offices. Check your flyers regularly to be sure they are still where you placed them and that they remain in good condition.

Also, the Daily Courier will let you place a free ad for several days.

If you wish to have us post information about the found pet, please tell us the pet's name (if known), breed, age, sex, size, where found, any other identifying information, your phone number and email address; and attach any photos. Send this in an email to catlady199@yahoo.com and indicate that this is a Found Pet in the email.

In addition, you may want to post them on: http://lostpetswnc.org and http://www.pets911.com/index.php
