Found Yellow Lab (West Wyoming Street) - Happy Ending!

Well, this post was supposed to ask for help in finding the owner of this dog (who was found today on West Wyoming Street in Melrose).  We first posted about him on our facebook page, filled out a found dog profile on Granite State Dog Recovery, and then came over here to do the same on our blog.  But before we even drafted the post here, there was already edits to be made to this pup's story!  Happy to report that within 21 minutes of our initial facebook post, his picture was shared over 60 times and had over 1,200 views!  And the best news yet?  THE OWNER WAS FOUND!  Happy ending for this boy - and thank you to our social media family! 

Despite this success story, please remember to license your pets within your city or town AND microchip as well - it will dramatically increase the chances of a happy reunion if ever your pet should go missing.  To license your dog in Melrose, you can find the form on our city's Animal Control page.  To access the licensing form directly, click here.
