Small Dog Found – Owner Sought

A small lost dog turned up on a porch near Madera Elementary School in El Cerrito Saturday morning. We're publishing his photo and description in hopes the owner can be located.

A small dog was found on the front porch of a home on Devonshire Drive near Madera Elementary School Saturday morning, and the residents of the home distributed photos and a description in hopes of locating the owner.

The notice, distributed by the Arlington Neighbors email list, described the dog as

  • Sex: Male
  • Color: Black and Rust
  • Size: 15+ lbs
  • Breed: Terrier Mix
  • Coat: Medium length (may be just groomed)

"We have a dog and I can't imagine what the owner must be going through right now," said the resident who sent the notice to Arlington Neighbors. "...He seems to be groomed so I don't think he's been lost for long."

The dog was taken to the Contra Costa County Animal Shelter in Pinole, 910 San Pablo Ave., 510-724-3966, case number A687746, according to Denise Sangster, moderator of Arlington Neighbors.
