Izzie
TOWN OF WALLKILL – Two kittens and a puppy were stolen from the
Middletown Humane Society headquarters on Bloomingburg Road in the Town
of Wallkill some time overnight between June 7 and 8, and local police
and society officials are investigating.
The two kittens were recovered – one outside the shelter and the other by a resident of the Mountain Avenue area of Middletown. The latter was returned to the Humane Society after the resident saw a posting on Facebook.
The female puppy named “Izzie” remains missing.
Society President Marlene Freehill said Tuesday that it is believed the burglars bypassed the alarm system and gain access to the building through a window.
“We had the alarm company come in and review our security system and we are certainly going to add to it and that being said, we need the community’s help in finding this puppy,” Freehill said. “We are very worried that perhaps like the kitten, she was dumped. We think it might be in that area in the City of Middletown. That is why we have been going up and down the street handing out flyers, talking with people. No one up there has seen the puppy.”
The Humane Society is offering a $500 reward for the safe return of Izzie.
