UPDATE 2 (1/7/2015): We received a great update from the person who rescued the dog. The dog is now being fostered by a Project MEOW volunteer in West Philly and may be adopted!
UPDATE (12/30/2014, 12:30 p.m.): The dog has been picked up and is in foster care now. She doesn’t have tags or a microchip. She has minor abrasions, but otherwise is fine (not injured as it was reported earlier).
The person who is fostering the dog told us that she will try to keep her until her owner is found. If you have any information about the dog, or would like to contact this person please check out her Craigslist posting.
Earlier: A reader found this dog this morning outside West Philadelphia High School (49th and Chestnut). The dog’s leg appeared injured and he/she couldn’t be moved.

Did you rescue the dog, or is it still on the streets? Did you contact ACCT?

Just heard that pooch has been rescued (locally) and is okay – no injury. Just cold and a little scuffed up. No tags or m.chip.

This looks just like this dog reported missing last week.

hi JP,
I checked with Sylvia and she wrote that the found dog is mid-aged and looks more like a shepherd, and also has no white on paws.
thanks.

There was a “lost dog” sign posted at 30th Street Station this morning, by the ATM near the southwest entrance…

Did it describe the dog/have a photo attached? Did you happen to take a photo of the flyer? thx.

Will someone check the poster near the ATM machine at 30th St Station to see if it describes this dog?? Good sign if it’s the owner and he’s looking for it!! Thanks to the ‘foster’ for keeping this dog for now.
Also check with local vets who might recognize it as a regular patient.
