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.
