This note has been passed around the neighborhoods by e-mail yesterday and today and we thought we should pass it along:

Neighbors,
Our dog was viciously mauled late this afternoon. The dog that attacked (a big, dark, brindle pit bull terrier) was tied up outside  Salt and Pepper at 47th and Chester, but broke its leash, raced across  the street and attacked our dog. As we wait to learn about the extent of his injuries from the good folks at PennVet, I wanted to warn everyone to be especially cautious, especially those with small children and animals. Thanks to the kindness of a few strangers the police have identified the owner. Please be careful.

This info came from City Kitties:

All-black female cat, green eyes, missing from 51st & Cedar since 3/20. Contact Lauren at 610-639-6051 or L.hansenflaschen – at – gmail.com if you think you have seen this kitty.

As always, please pass this along to block groups in that area, and check yards, alleyways, under porches, basements, etc.

Lost beagle mix, answers to Jake. About 35 Lbs, white with black spots and a black face. Last seen wearing a red collar and a blue leash attached.

He was last seen on 47th and Woodland heading north and lives around 47th and Pine.

Please call or text Mia at 915-329-2566, or Drew at 860-805-3779 if found or seen.

My neighbor just found a very friendly male cat. This kitty wandered into his house, near 48th/Baltimore. He’s a skinny guy, pale orange w/whitish chin, long-haired, bobbed tail (actually looks like it could have been cut off). It appears he’s already neutered. If you know of anyone who’s lost a kitty like this, please get in touch w/me. No photo.

Short haired grey tabby with white front paws, white back haunches, white tipped tail, 1yr old. “Ruby” ran out the back door of a house on Pine Street near 50th. Contact Debbie Cade at 215-474-6794 if you think you’ve seen Ruby. Unfortunately, she isn’t fixed… No photo.

Update from Linda Lee:

Stacy Darrah is still searching for this dog’s owner. She’s put calls
in to Husky rescue groups, as well, and he’s on a couple wait lists.
Stacy’s apartment is small and she has a large dog of her own, so
would like to find another place for him, with a little more room,
until owner turns up or a slot opens up with a rescue. He’s a good
natured young male, with loads of energy, not aggressive. He does fine in a crate and is house broken. She’s arranging for him to be neutered this coming week. Please let her know if you can help out.
She really has her hands full these days! Her number is
267-902-2020. Feel free to call her if you have any questions. Many thanks! -LL
