LOST DOG

Annie

11/17/2012

 

 

A 10 lb. 4 year old Yorkie / Poodle mix by the name of Annie went missing on 11/17/2012 from a home in Manchester Twp. and ran into the woods on Congasia rd by Brockton Ct. in Crestwood Village #6. She was recently adopted from the Popcorn Park Zoo and has the Yorkie colors (tan & black) but the curly hair of a poodle.

 

The trail entrance (on Congasia Rd.) is marked with a lost dog flyer and an orange ribbon on the telephone pole.  Here is the map location to get to the trail and where we searched today:

  

If you are able to search this area the marker on the map is where she was spotted the day she ran away. PLEASE contact us if you are able to help search. It has been several days and we only need one sighting so we can place a live trap. We need as many eyes as we can get, any and all help will be appreciated.  Please either post or PM us on Facebook if you’re able to help in any way and if you need to talk to us for any reason you can call Debbie’s cell at 609-276-4939.

 

 

Update on Annie, today, 11/21/2012, a man in his late 60's early 70's about 5'6" gray hair and stocky built drove up and spoke with someone in the Ocean County North Animal Shelter in Jackson saying he lives in Crestwood Village and found a Yorkie Sunday night and if no one claims the dog he would keep it, The Shelter Attendant was busy at the time and told the man to call the Manchester Police and Animal Control and the attendant did not get the mans information. This man was driving a dark green with brownish tones Jag or Mercedes. I'm not sure if this man was just feeling out the shelter because we believe this is Annie that he found and she was wearing a collar with ID. He did not have the dog with him when he drove up to the shelter. Now we will focus our search on the houses that surround that patch of woods.

 

 

 

 

After missing for two years, a black and tan mixed terrier named Annie has been reunited with her owner in Manchester. Police said Animal Control Officer Margaret Dellapietro was able to capture the tiny dog, who snuck away from her Crestwood Village 6 home of June Nicolaus, three months after she was adopted from the Popcorn Park Zoo.“I was broken hearted,” said Nicolaus, in a press release from police. Nicolaus said she canvassed the community with flyers and alerted authorities after Annie went missing.“For more than two years, Annie survived on her own in the elements and her whereabouts remained a mystery to her owner until this week”, according to the press release.Dellapietro said Annie had been living in wooded areas surrounding Crestwood Village and was being fed by a resident there since June of 2014. The resident contacted the Animal Control office on February 10th and Dellapiertro responded and was able to coax the tiny dog into a humane trap using her unfinished breakfast sandwich.Though Annie had lost her collar and tags, Dellapietro was able to confirm her identity through the dog’s microchip.Police said “when Annie was reunited with her owner, her fur was matted and dirty, making her almost unrecognizable. But Nicolaus, who was initially in disbelief that Annie had returned, said she immediately recognized her pet’s eyes.”“In the back of my mind, I always held out hope,” Nicolaus told police. “Miracles do happen. I was over the moon.”Dellapieto called the reunification of pets with their owners the most rewarding aspect of what she does but it also serves as an important reminder to pet owners.Pet owners are reminded that having their animals micro-chipped can help bring them home safely and expeditiously should they go missing.
