Bastrop, Louisiana - Lost Dog, Possibly Stolen

Poor thing. I hope they find him soon.

It's sounding more likely that he was stolen. He has never been a fence jumper, or tried to escape. He is very clingy and attached to his new family. There is a couple from Arkansas who have been stealing dogs in their area. Bastrop is not far from where they are supposedly located.

Poor boy!

I have emailed and am forwarding this to all the rescue folks I know here in the ark-la-tex.

Hopefully someone will find him. But yes, there used to be a large dog fighting ring just into Arkansas from this area of Louisiana. I was told that one was busted last year. But there is still an underground thing in this area, because the parishes' police juries give very little funding to animal welfare. Thus there is no law enforcement into animal cruelty unless it is tied to other criminal activity.

Hopefully, this gorgeous creature will turn up in a shelter. I will keep my fingers crossed for him.
