This dog was rescued from ACCT and got out of her home about a week ago. She has been seen in the Overbrook area and possibly near 54th and Lancaster. Her owners are desperate to find her and are offering a cash reward (see the flier for more information).

A neighbor, Lauren, needs help locating her dog, a Pomeranian named Jason, who got out very late Thursday night/early Friday morning. He was last seen near 50th and Market. “Jason means the world to me,” writes Lauren.

Lauren created this sweet poster to spread the word about Jason.

Genza

A pretty cool thing happened last night that we wanted to tell you about. A West Philly Local reader, Holly, contacted us to tell us that her family found a large brown male dog with cropped ears near 49th and Chester. The dog was found around 7 p.m. He had a collar but no tags. He was docile, clean, and well fed, “clearly someone’s pet.” 

Just when we were about to share this information, we got a message from another reader, Sara, who was looking for her dog, a 13-year-old Mastiff named Genza who went missing from S. 47th and Kingsessing yesterday. The key words in Genza’s description provided by Sara were “large” and “cropped ears” so we immediately contacted Holly with this information. And guess what, Holly’s family had Genza! The dog was reunited with his family just after a few hours he was lost.

“Amazing!…This is one very loved dog and he had a lot of us worried sick,” Sara wrote us later.

We’re very happy for Genza’s quick and safe return to his family and want to thank Holly and her family. We have some of the best readers in the world!

Two loose dogs, a hound mix and a chow mix, were spotted Tuesday morning, around 8:45 a.m., near 48th and Cedar. They were slowly trotting west on Cedar. The dogs looked “pretty thin and unkempt and appeared to be scavenging for trash,” according to a reader who saw them.

UPDATE (10:50 a.m.): ACCT Philly has been notified about these dogs. If anyone spots them again please call 267-385-3800 immediately, so that an Animal Control officer can try to locate them. Also, please read this page on what to do if you find a pet.

UPDATE (Friday, Jan. 11): Mars has been found and returned to his owner.

Mars, a 2-year-old Beagle/Terrier Mix, escaped from his home near Clark Park this afternoon. He was last seen in the area of 49th and Woodland. He is about 25 pounds. He is microchipped and wearing a collar with tags. He’s a very friendly dog but shy around new people.

If you have any information regarding Mars, please contact Stacy at 267-902-2020.

Kara, a black Lab mix with white nose and white chest, has been missing since Dec. 3, 2012, from 36th and Lancaster Ave. He was last seen running down Spring Garden St. He weighs about 50 lbs., not neutered, and has all his shots. He is shy around strangers, barks, but does not bite.

Kara had a red collar, red leash, and a tag with his name when he went missing. By now he may have lost them.

If you see him or know where he is, please call his heartbroken owners immediately, any time. Phone: 215 510 1704. A reward is offered to anyone finding him.
