Missing Puppy Lost Puppy

One local four-year-old girl in Ellensburg, WA is heartbroken, and begs you to be on the lookout for her lost puppy, which went missing Saturday night, June sixth.  The lost puppy is a male Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix who answers to the name “Scamp.”

The puppy is black with a white chest, white belly, white paws, and some white on its muzzle with black freckles.  “Scamp” also has a white spot on his top side, right behind his neck. 

“Scamp” is four months old and he is very friendly.  He is approximately eighteen inches long and stands approximately twelve inches high.  The puppy was apparently last seen very early the morning of Sunday, June seventh.  If you have found this lost puppy, or have information as to his whereabouts or status, please call (509) 925-3803.  You just could be the one to save the day for a very sad little girl.
