OCPD Animal Control Rescues Stolen Puppy

OCEAN CITY, MD – (August 25, 2015): The Ocean City Police Department Animal Control Unit recently rescued a young puppy that had been stolen from its foster home in West Virginia.

Animal Control Officers began an investigation into a stolen puppy after being contacted by an animal shelter in Jefferson County, WV. Shelter staff told Animal Control Officers that a female suspect had stolen the dog, known as Foxie, from a foster home in WV that was caring for the dog temporarily. It was learned that the suspect was on her way to the Ocean City area with the puppy.

After a thorough investigation with assistance from Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Animal Control Officers discovered where the suspect was staying and located her and the dog at a home in Ocean Pines. Animal Control Officers deemed the home and the suspect unsuitable for a pet and took the dog into their custody. The female suspect has theft charges pending out of West Virginia.

A local family who learned of this story is currently working with the West Virginia animal hospital to adopt Foxie.

I bet the dog was taken from her and she got it back. I remember a buddy years ago had his dogs taken and he broke into the Wicomico shelter or whatever it was and took them back. He was caught cause only his dogs were missing. I told him should've freed them all.
