Are You Missing A Small Black Dog?
August 9, 2008
Pensacola veterinarian is hoping to find the owner of a small black dog hit by a car on Highway 29 north of Cantonment and return the dog back to North Escambia.
“I witnessed a small black dog get hit by a man in a black truck. I stayed with the dog until the animal control officer arrived. The dog was taken to Safe Harbor Animal Hospital for treatment,” Karen Ensley emailed NorthEscambia.com. The dog’s unfortunate accident happened on Highway 29 just south of the produce stand between Molino and Cantonment Wednesday.
Ensley has gone to great lengths to find the owner of the dog. From putting up flyers at Grocery Advantage, to calling other veterinarians and groomers in the area, to calling local radio stations asking for announcements. But, as of Friday evening, the dog has not been reunited with its family.
It was taken to Safe Harbor Animal Hospital on Creighton Road in Pensacola. Veterinarian Gina Forgey said the dog is recovering well.
“It’s a wonderful little dog, the sweetest dog ever,” Forgey said. While the dog was injured with a possible broken pelvis, Forgey said it is expected to make a complete recovery. “It will be completely back to normal in no time,” she added.
Forgey said Safe Harbor hopes to locate to dog’s owner and reunite them. If the owner is not found in five days, the dog will be put up for adoption. It will not be euthanized, she said; it will be kept until a suitable home is found.
If you believe this is your dog, or if you might know the owner of this dog, call Safe Harbor Animal Hospital at 476-5571.
