A stray dog picked up by a traveller in Revelstoke was dropped off at the Country Hills Animal Hospital in Calgary this week.
The dog had no identification and is believed to be partially deaf, said a spokesperson for the Calgary Humane Society (CHS). It鈥檚 believed she was picked up on Feb. 26 or 27. She is now at CHS.
Both the Revelstoke Humane Society (RHS) and CHS are currently involved in the search to track down the animal鈥檚 owner.
A representative from RHS said that she believes there is a local who regularly breeds the kind of dog delivered to CHS, but he is not on social media and they鈥檝e been unable to reach him.
鈥淭here is a man in town named Ron who breeds these kinds of dogs,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e have been unable to reach him. But someone is currently trying to contact him to see if he is missing any dogs.鈥�
The CHS said they are unsure of the breed of the dog they received, and are baffled as to why someone would bring a dog all the way from Revelstoke to Calgary.
They believe the dog was discovered late at night, and said they will work in partnership with RHS to try and figure out whether the animal has an owner.
鈥淲e would love to get her home and we will continue to work in partnership with RHS to reach that end,鈥� said a spokesperson for CHS. 鈥淚f you have any information. We鈥檇 love to find out if she has an owner.鈥�
Though neither RHS or CHS had any information about the individual who found the pet, they both believe it to have been a passing trucker.
The spokesperson for CHS said this is an extremely rare occurrence.
The spokesperson for RHS said she has no explanation as to why someone would pick up a dog in Revelstoke and drop it off in Revelstoke.
If you have any information, the and urge you to contact them online.
