Springfield Resident Seeks Community's Help with Lost Dog

Have you see a tan and grey wheaton terrier mix in your neighborhood? Please call the number below. The dog’s owner wants it back home.

The dog, Eddie, belongs to Springfield resident Alison Garcia and was last seen on Troy Drive on Saturday, Nov. 19. Eddie’s owner adopted him from Home for Good Dog Rescue in Summit.

A volunteer from Home for Good Dog rescue who worked with Eddie said that until the Summit animal organization took in Eddie, he had been through some serious conditions. The volunteer said the 9-month old dog grew up malnourished and neglected in Georgia, where he lived under a porch for three months and covered in fleas and red ants. 

By the time he was rescued was so ill that he needed blood transfusions.  He was nursed back to health, but now that he is roaming outside, his health is vulnerable again. He weighs 42 lbs, has a big tail and puffy face and is reportedly skittish around humans.

If you see Eddie, call the 24-hour lost pet recovery service 188-homeagain (1-888-466-3242). He has an identification microchip implanted below his shoulder blade, with the number 985121011075198. Garcia’s phone number is 215-380-9376 and can be contacted via email at alison.garcia55@gmail.com.
