Missing pets and animal cases are on the rise in our region.
This according to many residents, including people looking for a dog named Milo, in Cambria County.
Chad and Paula Albert of Westmont, say Milo is a shy adopted shelter dog. I am told that Milo may have grown fur longer as time passes without people seeing him.
They say he was hit by a car on April 26, while running away from them at the intersection of Goucher Road, and the extension of the intersection of Luzerne Road, in Elim.
The Alberts say the reported sightings of Milo give them hope, and say immediate reporting is essential to finding lost animals effectively.
They tell me that they pay more attention when they see a random animal, like a dog or a cat, walking alone in the area.
The Alberts say they have received an outpouring of help from the police and local residents, and say they hope this awareness will help other stray animals reunite with their owners.
Since April 2, Milo has not been reunited with his owners, and is still astray. The Alberts say that if you see Milo, call immediately, and do not approach the dog, or call.
They gave me their number to share: 814-341-8477.
They also encourage people to call the West Hills Police Department at 814-255-4145.
