Bowie animal control officers picked up the female dog Sunday after she was found by a resident on the corner of West Forest Drive and Lakeford Lane.

The dog is described as a Malti Poo, spayed, 8-10 years old, all white, with no collar or identification.

On its Facebook page, the animal control office says the dog has a microchip implanted by the former Critters pet store in 2007, but the store is no longer in business at Hilltop Plaza. The microchip was not activated.
