SIGHTED:
Loose dog this morning in the town of Antigonish.
First saw dog on Main Street and founded the dog until
I lost it on St. Mary’s Street. Dog was timid and wouldnt
let me close but I saw a blue collar and a silver tag.
Dog is medium size, black couldnt tell what type but
my first thought was a border collie mix? Poor thing
has been outside a while I think- found the dog going
through someones garbage to find food.
Please call with any information:

This was published in a kijiji (online classifieds) ad on Saturday January 14, 2012:
3 year old female white german shepard DENA was missing from Cedar Lake/Beaver River Road area. Was FOUND in Long Tusket Lake area. MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE LOOKING OUT FOR HER. OUR COLLECTIVE PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED. Denise, Rod, Mike from New Tusket/Weymouth area … you are special people and went above and beyond to get our dog home. For the Lost Dog Network of Nova Scotia…this would never have happened without your interventions. We are a happy family once again!
FOUND: Hants Co. MALE: Blk. Lab mix after being held with Animal Services this dog was transferred to the Hants SPCA. He was checked for a microchip (none present), Vet checked, vaccinated, de-flead, de-wormed and neutered on Tues. Jan.10/12. He is a very handsome dog with brindle colouring on his legs. He is also affectionate. If you have any information please contact Hants SPCA @ Phone: 757-2000 Email: info@hants.spcans.ca
UPDATE: 1/15/12 – Here is an actual photo of the found Cocker Spaniel. From Animal Services: ” She appears to have some soft tissue damage to a hind leg, but otherwise is well. I’m keeping an eye on signs of infection, but I suspect she should mend up well.”
UPDATE: 1/14/12 – “I’m sending you a picture that looks more like the dog we found (although still just a “stock photo”).I just spoke with the dog control officer and she’s doing well, hobbling on one leg. He thinks she’s about 8 months old, and she’s quite chubby. They keep her a short while, and then she goes to the spca for possible adoption.”
***STOCK PHOTO*** Not actual dog: A small dog was just hit in front of our home on Melanson Road, just outside of Wolfville. It is light tan in colour, perhaps a cocker spaniel mix. It has no collar. An animal control officer has just taken it to the kennel, maybe to the vet if necessary. If you have any information on this dog please call Animal Services in Wolfville: 679-8045, or King’s County: 678-3647.
