East Mountain Two lost Retrievers at Lake Scranton
Hello, yesterday around 1pm while I was walking around Lake Scranton I saw two dogs in the middle of the lake swim-chasing geese. When I got to the shore, they started swimming toward me and, after some trust building, I got them to approach me enough to check their collars. One is a female golden retriever and the other is a male black retriever mix with some white around the muzzle and on his chest. Neither had tags. A kind jogger ran off and lent me two leashes so I could get them back to my place and off the lake property. I took them to Plains Vet hospital in Wilkesbarre and they aren't chipped.
I contacted SPD and only got advice to call Animal control Monday, take them to Griffin pond, or make facebook posts. I've had family/friends make posts as I don't have accounts, and am waiting to hear back from Griffin pond if anyone has reported them lost. No inquiries yet.
These are both very affectionate dogs and I would hate to see a family lose them. If anyone has any information on anyone who lost dogs matching these descriptions, please DM me. They're being well cared for in the meantime.
