** Lost Dog Sighting**

This handsome boy was spotted today near US Hwy 75 and County Road 45 near Eldred. He appears to be well cared for and healthy. ๐Ÿซถ He is wearing a collar, but unfortunately there are no tags. ๐Ÿ˜”

Our deputies tried to get close enough to help him, but he was too cautious. We did manage to get him to move into the field and away from the road.

We are hoping someone recognizes him and can help us get him safely back home to his family. โค๏ธ
