San Andreas, CA – The Calaveras County Animal Services (CCAS) is asking for the public’s assistance in finding an escaped shelter dog.

Shelter officials report that the pooch “breached the kennel she was housed in” and then “dug her way out of secondary containment.” They noted, “Our staff and volunteers have responded multiple times to sightings of her, but we have not been successful in finding her. She was last seen around Pool Station Road and George Reed Drive (San Andreas).”

CCAS described the dog as being roughly 9 years old, medium to large in size, weighing around 55 pounds, and friendly with people.

“Her physical condition requires special care, so we are hopeful for her prompt return to safety,” shared shelter officials.

The public is asked to check any outbuildings or equipment that the dog may be sheltering in on their property, especially where she has been sighted. They advise callers to offer as many facts as possible, such as the crossroads and the dog’s direction of travel. Anyone who sees the pooch should immediately contact the shelter at (209) 754-6509.
