Gainesville, Fl--Greenville, NC MISSING FOR 4 YEARS/ Found!
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2009 8:46 am
The Humane Society of Levy County, FLorida received a call for help from a local veterinarian. One of her techs observed a small sheppard mix female dog (30-35 lbs) hanging around the local WalMart parking lot and then across the street at a local supermarket. When she saw the animal walking along the side of a busy highway, she picked her up and took her to the vet office.
When they swiped her to see if she was microchipped they were pleasantly surprised to find she was and they contacted the microchip company to get information on the owners. This is where this story takes an unusual turn! The owners are located in Greenville, NC and lost their pet four years ago when the owner had to go to the hospital for 9 days. No one knows how the animal got from Greenville to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The Society has checked the lost dog ads in the local newspapers, with the local vet offices and county animal shelter to try and find the "interim" owner. Nothing.
So we are turning to PilotsnPaws for help in getting Minnie back to her original home.
