🚨PLEASE SHARE - URGENT🚨

This dog was sighted on the side of US 64 W near Tilson Road in Murphy.

The dog is a white husky/shepherd who looks elderly and is limping significantly.

The dog is wearing purple tags and was seen traveling in the direction of Peddler’s.

If seen - DO NOT APPROACH. This dog is scared and will run when approached. This will cause the dog to stray further and make it more difficult for the owner to find her.

If seen, please contact us with the dog’s location so we can post updated sightings.
