“On Sunday, February 7^th, wearing only my invisible fence collar, I escaped from my yard.  My name is Mac and I live by the Dunkirk Conference Center in Sheridan.  If you can help me get back home, it would surely make me and my dad very happy.

Call 672-9177 right away if you see me. Thank you”  

“I sometimes bay like a hound and everyone thinks that it is because that’s what I am, but sometimes I do that because I am so dog-gone lonely. Oh, I know, I have the volunteers here that love me and treat me really well and I know I’m lucky for that because at one point I was in a kill shelter. Someone saw something in my eyes that said “this dog is worth saving”.  I dream of what my perfect home would be, and I know, I ask for a lot, but it would be someplace with lots of land and someone that loves the outdoors, and in the daytime we could be outside and I could run free and smell the smells that I so love. And then at night, oh, I can see it now, a home with people that think I’m special and would sit with me and give me tummy rubs. If you could just see my big brown eyes when someone pays attention to me you would see what devotion is all about. Day in and day out I watch the other kids come in and then they go out so happy to be chosen by their people. I wait at my kennel door and watch for someone to come and see me, but I guess it’s because I’m only a hound that they go to the other kennels. Please just take a minute and really look at me, I am a beautiful coonhound. Oops, I almost forgot, I don’t want any cats in my home as I forget that they are supposed to be there and they’re not something to chase. It’s really simple to visit with me, just call 326 PAWS and ask if Melody is there., I can’t answer it as I am behind a kennel door, but if you’ve got a spot for me, I can be ready in a flash.”
