UPDATE: PICKED UP BY ERC-
SIGHTING DOG IN GREENE COUNTY still roaming in the area
Needs a rescue- finder is not able to take in.
Hi there, this is Jackie Melton from the rural area of Fellows Lake. State Hwy KK at 181. North of Springfield
This dog, which apparently has been starving has been on our property, getting into our trash for a month or two. My husband and I had been assuming he belonged to our neighbor, but we just confirmed he does not. In fact, our neighbor said this dog killed all of his chickens that had been free ranging on his property and he was in fear he was going to go after his baby goats next so he had already called animal control.
Yesterday, in hopes he'd stay out of my trash, I began to feed him. He will allow me to get around 4-6 feet near him because he is so hungry. I think he's very sweet, just saddens me to know he has wreaked havoc at our neighbor's house. Our neighbor had chickens, he has goats and cattle.
I would love for the owner to be reunited with this dog. Our neighbor plans to reach out to animal control again, however, I'm not too sure how much they will do in our rural/Greene County area.
**Finder will monitor the post for comments** I will continue to feed him - not sure there is much choice in that. I'm hoping if I satisfy his stomach he will stop being aggressive to our neighbor's livestock and our trash bin!
Thank you, Jackie
