Missing HomeFur-ever Animals
Rusty (Barney) has been found!
Today, February 4th, he was found after more than 1 month missing. He was found miles from where he went missing, and very near the home of his HomeFur-ever foster mother; obviously trying to find his way back to her and his girlfriend Katie, the mother of his puppies.
For the last week or so a nice young man had been leaving food for him and trying to make friends so he could get close enough to see his tags to find out where he belonged. Finally he was able to see his tags, make a phone call, and HomeFur-ever group members rushed to retrieve him (along with Katie!). While he was hesitant to come to the humans, the minute he saw Katie, he came running!
He is now on his way to the vet for medical treatment, but he appears to be in pretty good shape. We are absolutely THRILLED to have such a happy ending! Welcome home Barney!
Recently Adopted Rusty Now Missing
Rusty (formerly known as Barney) was recently adopted from HomeFur-ever, and is a 70 lb. male shepherd mix with orange/rust colored fur.
Rusty has been missing since approximately 1 a.m. Sunday morning from the Farmington Hills community in Southeast Michigan, specifically in the Middlebelt/Linden (9 ½ mile) area.
He is wearing a rust-colored collar with ID tags. Rusty (who may also still answer to Barney) is not at all aggressive, but can be fearful and so may be hard to approach. He's a very sweet dog and his adoptive parents are extremely anxious to find Rusty and bring him home to his loving family!
