Urgent Need to Find this Little Dog
$100 reward. Little Cocker type blonde female dog. Urgent need to find her, as she has just had surgery on March 19th. About 20 lbs, white stripe down face, very round head, short legs. Prominent backbone, was starving before brought to shelter. No collar.
Recently clipped, a rough sort of amateurish clip. So she has little hair to protect her from the cold.
Found originally in Palermo, taken to KV Humane Shelter where she was spayed and then adopted on 3/21 to a good family in Pittston. But she slipped her collar the same day and immediately took off. I am certain she is trying to find her way back to her original home, wherever that is. But she is at high risk due to the recent surgery and her weakened condition prior, when lost, and she is little. A lovely dog, but averse to strangers on the road. The new owners are very distraught and are combing the Pittston area. New owners named her "Buttercup" but of course, she does not respond to that name. This little dog is wonderful, she spent a week hiding out in my empty barn (I thought she belonged to my neighbor) and she is fine as long as she is not chased down. If chased, she will spook.
I think she may travel. She may be heading south of Pittston. She tends to go down side roads, is looking for her home (behavior noted when she was loose in my neighborhood).
Do not try to catch this dog, as she may possibly bite out of fear. If seen, call the Pittston Animal Control immediately, or Kennebec Valley E Humane Shelter, 626 3491, or Carole-Terese at 207 993 2223, or email me at caroleterese@fairpoint.net. I am offering a $100 Reward for information that leads to the safe return of Buttercup. Thanks for your help here.
