Neighbours hurting ‘Mission’ to bring in stray dog, expert says
Red Deerians are being strongly encouraged to not feed or approach a stray dog in the city’s Deer Park neighbourhood.
Darlene Burt with Calgary-based K9 Recovery Service says they are working with City of Red Deer Animal Services Department to help capture the dog and return it to its rightful owner.
Burt says ‘Mission’ has been roaming the area since escaping from his owner on Dec. 10, 2017.
“We have a tendency to be emotionally involved when it comes to stray or lost dogs,” explains Burt. “This dog has been on its own for over a year now. As a community, we can come together and work at getting this dog in but we have to work together and not against each other.”
