Our puppy, Zo&euml;, was at Furbabies on Falls Road for daycare today and she seems to have escaped while playing outside, around 3pm. Roads around the kennel include Falls Road, Democracy Blvd, and Montrose Rd.
She is a 6 month old, Rhodesian Ridgeback, brown short hair, brown eyes, wearing a blue collar that says Crested Butte on it. She has big floppy ears and a crooked tail. If you find her, she is incredible food driven and very friendly. She is also chipped. My number is (301) 367-5895, please call me! Thank you!
