Health of Dog Found by Guilford Police Turns for the Worse

GUILFORD, CT - The German Shepherd that was finally caught by Guilford Police after last Thursday after roaming around large parts of the town has been to the veterinarian - and - unfortunately the news is not good.

On the Guilford Police Animal Shelter Facebook page, the following message concerning the dog's health has been posted.

"We want to thank everyone for their show of love and support for the German Shepherd dog that was finally caught last Thursday after being on the run for several days. She has received lots of cookies and inquires for adoption.

"Sadly, when we took her to the veterinarian for a wellness check, it was discovered that she has a very large abdominal mass. The veterinarians have given her a very poor prognosis. Currently, she does not appear to be in any pain, and her vitals are monitored constantly for any changes. We are keeping her happy and comfortable here at the shelter, hoping her owner will come forward.

"After our three-week stray hold period, we will re-evaluate her condition to see what the best course is for the dog. We are deeply saddened by this turn of events, and again thank everyone for their help in catching her, and their love and support of her. We will keep you posted on her journey.

"Thank you again!"
