Hey there, fur-pals.  I’ve got some really important and serious information to share with you, especially to you guys living in SAN FRANCISCO. The other night, a sick puppy was stolen from the San Francisco SPCA, and they need her back as soon as possible, no questions asked, and they’re even offering a reward for her return!

Cassie, a 3-month-old lab mix, was taken from the shelter on Wednesday night. Cassie weights about 17 lbs, unspayed, and has a brindle (black/brown spots/stripes) and white coat. The shelter has no pictures of Cassie, but they say she looks very much like her sibling [photographed above]. Cassie has guardia, an infection of the small intestines that can be spread to humans.

The SF SPCA is offering a $500 reward for the return of this sick puppy. “We will not press charges or ask questions; we simply want her returned,” the SF SPCA said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.

You heard the facts, people — keep you eyes peeled on the streets for a pup that looks like Cassie’s sister in the photo. Her infection could get worse really fast without treatment… ohh, I can hardly think about it… But I’ll keep my paws crossed for her safe return, and hopefully some good samaritan will bring her to the shelter soon after reading about this.

Anyone with information should call San Francisco police at (415) 553-1159 or the SF SPCA at (415) 522-3500 or (415) 554-3029.

thanks, readers!
