Dog Found near Hwy. N and Hepperman Road

Are you missing a dog? We want to make sure he gets back home!

Does this adorable pup belong to you or someone you know? Some concerned animal lovers found a loose dog in the area of Hwy. N and Heppermen Road last night. The dog is a young, unneutered male, and is described as "very sweet and bouncy." The people who found the pup were unable to keep the dog at home with their own pets until the owner could be found, so the dog is now at St Charles County Humane Services, located at 4850 Mid Rivers Mall Drive in St. Peters. Please help us find the owner!
