Has anyone noticed this terrified young dog?
Toby is a young neutered yellow lab/mix that escaped on Friday 9/03/10 in the Admiral District near SW California and 45th Ave SW. He is very scared and is sticking within a pretty small area in the north end of West Seattle. He knows his name but likely will not come if called. He is under the care of Vashon Island Pet Protectors and they are frantically searching for him.
Signs are posted all over West Seattle and he has been spotted on a number of occasions, primarily in the early morning hours before 7 am-ish and in the evenings from 7:30-10:30 pm, when traffic is slower and scary sounds lessen. He has not been responsive to food or people searching for him. He is likely hiding out during the daylight hours when traffic is heavier and there is more activity in the neighborhood. He could be hiding in the greenbelt, park, under a deck, behind a shed or anywhere that is quiet and where he feels safe and unnoticed. He also could be traveling between the North end of West Seattle and the West Seattle ferry dock. He will likely run/hide if approached, so the best thing to do is keep him sighted and contact the folks below immediately.
Important points about Toby:
• Yellow lab mix, male
• Wearing a black nylon buckle-type collar (id tag is for Vashon Island Pet Protectors; micro chipped)
• Sightings of Toby in this area are typically around 7 am-ish and in the evenings from 7:30-10pm
• Locations sighted: the triangle of Sunset Ave SW/46th Ave SW/SW Atlantic St, as well as SW Massachusetts St and Ferry Ave SW. All of the streets around Hamilton Viewpoint Park are likely areas he is in.
• Friendly with other dogs.
