UPDATE – DOG PICKED UP IN PLANTERSVILLE
The dog reported at the 76 gas station in Plantersville has been picked up by Animal Control.
However, we want to address something important.
Despite this dog being at the location for several hours and being shared on social media, not one person contacted 911 or the appropriate emergency dispatch number to report it.
It took an employee with the Town of Plantersville to contact Animal Control and get the situation addressed.
Posting on Facebook does NOT notify Animal Control or dispatch. We cannot respond to situations we have not been made aware of through the proper channels.
If you see an animal that is injured, neglected, abandoned, or in need of assistance, please contact 911 or the Lee County Sheriff's Department dispatch so the information can be relayed to our officers.
We appreciate everyone who shows concern for these animals, but please remember that making a phone call is far more effective than simply sharing a post.
