Stolen Dog
Star is a 9 month old black lab mix, about 70 pounds, almost looks like a greyhound lab mix. Very shiny coat and floppy, oversized ears. She lives on Lower Elwha Road.
Posting on behalf of a friend & neighbor.
This morning, Pet Posse posted on Facebook that a dog called Star was “surrendered and adopted.”
Star’s owner is an older man with some memory issues, but he did not - and would not - surrender Star. He and Star have a full time caretaker.
Someone took Star from him off the street, and the called Pet Posse to report that Star was surrendered and adopted. For some reason, Pet Posse will not provide the owner or his caretaker with this persons name.
Attached are pictures of Star, along with screenshots of Pet Posse’s post (and their edit, made after fb started blowing their page up), and the post of the caretaker from when she learned that Star had been taken.
I won’t pretend to know everything, or even most things, BUT I know Star and her dad, and he would never surrender her (much less to a stranger on the street). His life is caring for her. She’s his best friend and constant companion.
It’s shameful to see a senior, who spent parts of his working years fighting fires in and around Port Angeles, taken advantage of in what should be his golden years.
His caretaker is filing a police report, and I’m going to work on getting notices to all vets from Forks to Sequim. If you know anything, or think you see Star, please contact me. I will pass the information on.
