Search Underway for Man Caught on Video Stealing 10-Week-Old Puppy From Broward Humane Society

Authorities urge tips to return the microchipped, sick 10-week-old puppy to treatment.

Overview

  • Surveillance video shows a man entering just before closing Friday, jumping a tall kennel, stuffing the puppy into a backpack, taking a leash, and leaving on a bicycle.
  • The puppy, Pebbles, is about 10 weeks old, weighs roughly 10 pounds, and is microchipped for identification.
  • Shelter officials say Pebbles has ringworm, which is contagious to people and pets, and she was being treated for parasites before the theft.
  • The Humane Society of Broward County and the Broward County Sheriff's Office are actively searching, and no recovery has been reported as of Wednesday.
  • In response, the shelter posted signs banning backpacks and bags inside kennels and is asking anyone with information to contact BSO or the Humane Society.
