She's asking neighbors and the community to bring Tortellini back home.
Crouse said Tortellini is "very large," wearing 40 lbs. Tortellini is 8 years old and was acquired by Crouse as a rescue six years ago.
"She is also fast," Crouse said. "They move much faster than you would think."
Crouse said that Tortellini will not bite, is very friendly, and will be scared of you most likely.
"We have been looking for her since we realized and luckily it is cold today (Monday) so she won't be as active as usual," she told Patch.
Anyone who spots Tortellini or has information should contact Crouse at 267-304-4808.
