I saw the same dog on Orange St./Linden St. yesterday in the evening. He was running fast and was shy, so I couldn't catach him.

Why didn't someone call animal control 203 946-8110 when they first saw this, then post? The owner may have called animal control to report their dog missing. Also be careful about trying to catch a stray dog you may get bit and the dog may have rabies. Even if a dog has shots he may have been in contact with an animal that does and the virus may be on him.

I left a message with animal control when I got into work. Apparently they don't take calls until 12-4.

I just saw the dog running up Lawrence towards Whitney around five .

I called after reading your post around 2:30 PM, It appears no one has called to report a dog missing.

A friend just phoned me (2 p.m. Thursday) to ask me to post on SCF that she was driving around the neighborhood and saw a black puppy running around like mad. It's got to be this same dog. She said she was circling around the area Nicoll/Nash/Lawrence/Eagle -- and she managed to get the dog to come eat some food from her (chicken and a doughnut, she said!) but that she couldn't really get close enough to him to try to coax him into her car so she could take him someplace safe.
So he's still out and about.
My friend will call animal control, but -- how is it possible this situation's gone on so long? Poor pup.

Hello! It seems that we're all concerned about this dog and do not know what to do to help it. Clearly the owner does not use this message board, so first and foremost we should see how to spread the word. If you are in other local message boards/email lists, send a call. Alderpersons may want to send an email about it. I'll print this thread and post it at P&M tomorrow morning; if you know of other places, please do the same. Thank you ewg's friend for calling animal control--do they try to rescue? Does anyone know another rescue place that we may call? Anyone on the area: it may be a good idea to leave a dish with pet food (cat food will do). Also: if this dog can't stop running that's because it is very scared. The only reason it has not been hit by a car is because everybody is driving slowly bc of the snow. Check your garages daily, to make sure it's not trapped in. Usually, a dog with this kind of behavior will only bite if it is cornered.

running on Lawrence towards willow--I am going to try to get it. skinny, mid size

Does anyone know if any representatives from Animal Control check this site?

Last I knew they may but not a regular basis, which is why when you see things like this call Animal Control 203 946-8110 then post

Friday around 11am, I saw the dog running down humphrey toward State - I tried to follow it but I was fairly far behind, and then it crossed State and disappeared.

Dog was found

Unbelievable! That's great, I had lost all hope for him--it's been almost six months!
