Springfield police are investigating after a dog was stolen from the Clark County SPCA.
It happened sometime between 7:45 a.m. and 8: 10 a.m. May 10 at 21 Walter Street, Springfield.
The employee told police she had put 9-month-old Ziek, a red heeler cattle dog, in an outside kennel to eat his breakfast. While she tended to other animals inside, Ziek was stolen.
The dog is valued at $120, according to the police report. There was already a family lined up for the adoption.
There was also damage reported to a locking latch on an outside kennel. The shelter director said the kennel door had been kicked in and the padlock was still on the outside.
Ziek is described as speckled brown and white with a blue face and blue tipped tale. If seen, call 937-925-6602 or 937-324-7680.
The shelter director said a second dog in a nearby kennel outside was found cowering in fright in the corner.
