Mission accomplished: stray dog in Deer Park finally brought in
A dog on the run for more than a year in Red Deer’s Deer Park neighbourhood has finally been nabbed.
‘Mission’ – a German Shepherd – was lured and secured Saturday night by Darlene Burt with Calgary-based K9 Recovery Services.
Burt spent about eight months tracking Mission around the neighbourhood, all the while dealing with residents who would continue to put out food making it near-impossible to coarse the dog to come in.
It’s believed Mission is the same dog that went missing in the area on Dec. 10, 2017. He is now situated at Heaven Can Wait Animal Rescue near High River.
