Chelsea the Missing Bernese Dog…

From the Editor:

 

So many people this past spring and summer have been actively involved in the search and hopeful rescue of Chelsea the beautiful Bernese Mountain dog who went missing January 2011.

There have been many sightings of Chelsea and because of the dedication and compassion of folk a lot of missing pets have been reunited with their families. Alas the rescue of Chelsea has not happened and her family still misses her very, very much.

And so as it stands to this date, Chelsea is still roaming free, the colder weather is upon now and Chelsea’s state of health is unknown, although the latest sightings state she looks thin and has an unkempt appearance. So, even though the “steam” behind the rescue of Chelsea may be running out, let’s not give up hope. Let’s still keep our eyes open and keep the phone numbers handy, just in case Chelsea decides to come for Christmas.

If you see Chelsea please call one of the following numbers right away.

905-706-2635 or 905-666-4676
