I just saw this dog running down sunken meadow rd. on Monday afternoon around 4:45. We tried callingRead More it but it ran into the st. johnland nursing home and wouldn't come to me when I tried calling it over. It looks like a shepherd mix and seems a little frightened.

A dog matching this description was just on my street, Lyn Oak Lane, on Monday afternoon. I calledRead More Smithtown Animal Shelter but they wouldn't come. I tried to get the dog but he would not come and growled. The dog does not have a collar on.
