Found: Looking for YOU? Give this Dog a Floyd Home. Anyone?
What a great way to start the new year: with a new puppy (lest he be put to sleep next week in Floyd.)
Breed: Beagle    Sex: male    Age: young (under 2 years)
found: seen running around downtown Floyd for several days by Exxon, Hardee’s & Food Lion.
picked up: at Food Lion the evening of December 29th.
*the Beagle will be taken to Floyd County Animal Control (for the opportunity to be reunited with his owner) on December 30th. Please contact Animal Control at 540-745-9365

So sad! Beagles usually find their way home; so this one was probably abandoned.
Good News! According to the “Lost & Found Pets – Floyd Va.” Facebook Page, they received an email this afternoon from a county representative stating that the Beagle was picked up this morning from Animal Control and released to the owner.
What a wonderful end to 2011!
This is great news. Thanks etna for the heads up on the missing dog — and especially on his having been found by the owner.
Thanks again for your post!
Happy New Year.
Glad to read that he’s back home. He is really cute!
