- This puppy came to us a few weeks ago and we went around the whole neighborhood trying to find the owner but most people didnt answer the door and the ones that did said it wasnt theirs, we are leaving up north in May so if he belongs to anyone
that lives in Mission on Silver Ave, please let us know and if you have proof I'd appreciate it, if no one claims him, we will have to give him away,… (Nextdoor North Holland St.) - Thank you all.
