This came through yahoo's K9AmberAlert and is local. If anyone knows of a missing dog that fits this please email:
There is a black and white border collie that has been hanging around my neighborhood the past couple of days and I am not sure if he was dumped or someone is looking for him. He has a red collar and is very scared, I have tried approaching him several times and he just runs away. He does not seem to be matted from long term outdoor life but is a little dirty as it has been raining off and on the past week and in my experience a dog who has merely escaped from a nearby yard usually runs in the direction of their house but this guy isn't going in any one direction, he seems to want to stay at one particular intersection and I am afraid he will be hit. My local animal control is a little less than tenacious as they haven't done much to help this poor guy. I should add that due to the dog being long haired I can't say for certain of the gender but it seems large for a BC so I am assuming it is male.
If anyone could cross post this to border collie lists or has tips on how to catch or otherwise help this poor scared soul, I would greatly appreciate it!
