Two dogs stolen from Fulton animal shelter

Staff at Garrett Animal Shelter, Fulton’s city-run animal control center, reported two dogs stolen from its outdoor pen Monday.

Tina Barnes, animal control supervisor, said two male Jack Russell Terrier mixes were taken from the shelter sometime between 10:30-11 a.m., while Garrett staff were out responding to a call.

Barnes said the unneutered males were picked up as strays about a week and a half ago. She described dogs as possibly father and son, both with similar black and white coloring. The older of the two dogs had gray around its muzzle and a distinctive ringworm-like spot above its shoulder, and both wore leather collars.

Don't really see a problem with this. At least now they might have a good home. Isn't the purpose of an animal shelter to find pets a good home?

Sadly the perps left a copy of "How to Serve Your Dog" in their hurry to leave.

I don't get it. Why not just adopt them? Because they couldn't afford the spay, maybe?

Maybe their the actual owners and didn't want to pay for getting them back.

Sad to say, but when dogs are stolen they are often used to train the thief's fighting dogs. I seriously doubt it was the original owners who stole them back.

And there is always the possibility they got out of the pen.

Check local menus for ingredients of hot-dogs, hushed-pupies or kung-pao-puppy.
