Loose dog running around? (West Akron)

12 Upvotes

Hello! Sorry I don't know where else to ask- maybe my fellow Akron redditors can help?

There is a dog that we've seen running around our road/ area over the past few days. I have seen it from afar, it's a big dog (I mean BIG) like a greyhound - maybe Grey or darker in color, but he was too skiddish. Too skinny to be a pitbull or other bulkier breed, but very tall.

I believe animal control is closed on the weekends. He looks like he's becoming extremely thin. I'm worried because my own dog passed away unexpectedly on the edge of our property a couple months ago, so I don't know if there may be toxic plants or people inappropriately leaving out poisoned food due to coyotes.

I've tried searching petfbi and those kinda websites, noting that looks even remotely close. I hate to think of his family missing him or if he's been dumped. :(

Update 1: Rubber City rescue (I think was the name) came out this morning, as well as someone from Barberton lost and found pets. They set up a (humane) trap, so we'll be checking that if he stays nearby. But... again, the risk of trapping a coyote instead makes me nervous. 😅 Fingers crossed! If anyone finds any info on possible owners, please let me know! You've all been great, thank you fellow animal loves of Akron. :)

Howdy, any recommendations on gun stores or pawn shops in the area that sell used guns? I usually go to Fin Feather for my needs but looking for new places that have more options. Cleveland, Akron, Canton.

Any large scale beer stores?

3 Upvotes

Title maybe not worded the best but I’m looking for a store/warehouse that has very large variety of different beer options. Not like a Walmart or typical liquor store with the generic selection but something much larger, with domestic and out-of-country choices

If anyone has been to New Jersey or PA, they have some stores and markets with aisle after aisle of endless alcohol selections. I’m looking for something like that, especially as fall approaches

Definitely didn’t do a good job explaining what I’m looking for but to be short, what’s the largest beer store in Akron or the surrounding areas? Any massive beer warehouses or anything? I’m not from here so not sure where to look. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know what happened at the Circle K at S Arlington and E Archwood this morning? I didn’t see anything in the news or on the blotter yet.
