MA: Standard Poodle Missing on 1/30/08, Possibly Stolen

Marshall, a 5-year-old white intact male Standard Poodle, was last seen on the morning of January 30th on Institution Drive in Great Barrington, MA.

His people have conducted exhaustive searches throughout the area and all surrounding towns, and he is the subject of a SABER Alert by the Animal Control Officers Association of Massachusetts. All to no avail.

As a result, it is believed that Marshall has been abducted, and may even have left the state.

Marshall weighs about 48-50 pounds and is about 25 inches tall. He was last seen wearing a scissored puppy trim. He is microchipped.

Because he is so friendly, Marshall's distraught breeder and caretaker believe that it would have been easy for him to have been picked up and taken by a stranger, possibly even someone who was only in the area for the weekend.

Please contact Carol Cande (413-684-2561 or 413-822-4062) or Andrea Buchman (413-528-2101) if you have any information that may lead to Marshall's recovery, or feel free to Email MHarmonay@fastnewengland.org. There is a reward, no questions asked!

NH: German Wirehaired Pointer Missing or Stolen

Sweetie, a 2-1/2-year old female German Wirehaired Pointer, was last seen on Saturday, January 26th on Old Harrisville Road, off Rte. 101, across from Dublin Pond in Dublin NH.

Sweetie was with her owner, on her owner's property, when she ran down the driveway and started barking. The owner, who was a distance away, believes that a car or truck stopped at the end of the driveway at that point, and suddenly, the barking stopped. Sweetie has not been seen since then.

Sweetie is liver and dark red, with dark guard hairs and a spot of white on her tail. She has an occasional limp in her hindquarters. She is microchipped with her breeder's ID (Linda Thompson of Oakhyll Kennel in Hubbardston, MA).

Sweetie's owner is heartsick, and has plastered the area with flyers, and posted reward ads in the local papers.

Unfortunately, we do not have a photo of Sweetie, but here is a link to the AKC's breed page on German Wirehaired Pointers.

If you have any information about Sweetie, please immediately contact Nancy Cowan @ falconers@comcast.net.
