Dognapper in Puyallup WA

Mortgage and Lending

This may not have anything to do with real estate, but I find it important to spread the word to others in the area.  Especially since so many of us have a large network and are constantly working in the community visiting home sites and driving neighborhoods.  This particularly applies to the Puyallup area in Pierce County Washington.

I received an email this morning from a friend and a breeder of Dogue de Bordeauxs (French Mastiff, aka the dog from the movie Turner and Hooch) that was somewhat troubling.  Her dog had been taken from their backyard after being outside for 10-15 minutes.  The dog's name is Cyrus and he has won many awards and championships.  He is retired now and his owners would just like to have him back.  Here is a link to his pictures:  http://www.evergreenbordeaux.com/cyrus.htm

The police and animal control believe that who ever took him was really looking to take their puppy, however were only able to get away with Cyrus.  They believe that he will be dropped off somewhere and that keeping an eye out would be our best bet.  For those in the know, their home is located in the Puyallup Valley and expect to find him in the surrounding area. 

So if you are in the Puyallup area we would appreciate you keeping an eye out for him and calling the police or animal control if you spot him.  He is microchipped and his owners have already searched the animal shelters and notified the police department.  Cyrus was wearing his collar and has always been friendly with everyone.

I have two Dogue de Bordeauxs, one from this breeder, and we would just like for him to return home.  It is heartbreaking to lose an animal that you care about in this way.  Please let me know if you have any information or notify the Puyallup Police Department.

We have been told that often dogs with strong pedigrees are sent out of state for breeding programs.  Hopefully this is not the case and we will have Cyrus returned soon.  It would be appreciated if everyone could keep an eye out and notify the authorities if he is seen.

Thanks.

They have not gotten him back yet.  We are all still hoping he will turn up, but it is not looking good at this point.

Thank you Patrice, we hope he makes it home soon as well. 

We have two Dogue de Bordeauxs and they are really loving dogs.  We may joke about the movie Turner and Hooch, but sometimes I feel like that is a pretty accurate portrayal of our dogs;  big, often drooling, sometimes destructive, powerful, mild tempered, loving, and a great guardian.

We appreciate your support.

This is horrible news.  I hope they find the people who are doing this.  Is this just a local situation?
