Cocker spaniel lost again! Have you seen him?

Rubio got away from his owner again and has been missing since Sunday, the 25th. He was last seen at his home near the Walmart on 450. The last time he went missing, he was found in Cheverly, on Landover road. He could possibly be anywhere in between, if not in a different direction all together.

He's a small cocker spaniel, about 25-30 lbs, light brown in color. If you have seen this dog or one that looks similar, please call 301-386-3570 as soon as possible. Also, you're welcome to leave a comment or contact us via the "contact us" button on the right-hand side of the page.

Interested in adopting a special kitty?

Sent to us from a volunteer w/the Montgomery County Animal Shelter:

A three-legged female kitty with medium length, black and white hair was found near Good Hope Road in Silver Spring. She was taken to the shelter on 7/19. Are you interested in giving her a forever home? If so, for more information, call the shelter at 240-773-5960 and ask about CHEVY - ID#A342392.

Her record is at this link and the photo can be viewed via this flickr page. (If the first link isn't accessible, check the Flickr link below for final outcome - I'll add it within a few days.)

Please watch for lost posters, and pass this information along to your neighbors. The number and web address for the shelter are below. I really can't believe someone isn't looking for this cat!
