The search continues for Curly, a beagle mix who went missing during a transport pit stop in Kirkersville, Ohio on the morning of April 18, 2008.
By Susan Meyer: Executive Director, KAT 5 Animal Rescue
Curly, who spent the last six months at Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah, was on her way to her “forever home”. Curly is a very scared dog that is unpredictable. Curly escaped near the Flying J Travel Plaza located at Exit 122 - East bound of I-70 in Kirkersville, Ohio.
Curly has since been sighted several times a few miles from this location. She has no pattern of movement. It is very important that no one try to approach her. Curly will be caught with the traps put out in relation to the sightings of her.
Volunteers have the search covered at this time.
“We do not want her spooked more and to then run farther”, said Paula Evans of Second Chance Humane Society today.
Curly was last seen yesterday near Fairfield County, Ohio. Curly is still dragging her lead. She darted across I-70.
Curly appears to be in good condition other than having lost a lot of
weight.
“We need everyone to stay calm and stay positive”, Evans, said. “Dogs pick up on your emotions and she is running scared”.
Curly was wearing a red collar with three tags. (The contact information on the tags is Best Friends). The collar looks like this:

“She has chewed many a lead off. So I have no doubt that she can chew it off if it becomes entangled”, Becky Tegze of Pets Alive in Middletown, New York said.
