Evansville Animal Care and Control needs your help. They had an akita puppy stolen from them today. The puppy was on a stray hold so was not able to be adopted, but had already been pre-adopted by a family that wanted him if no one claimed him.  The family is devastated.

Please keep an eye out, if you see this puppy out, or if you see any posts online of people selling this puppy, let the police know immediately.

Today a male Akita puppy was stolen from our shelter. Someone reached over a locked gate and pulled the puppy out. This puppy was on a stray hold and if not reclaimed was already pre-adopted by a family that is now devastated. If you have seen this puppy please call our office at 812-435-6015 or 911 to report.
