Leo is a foster dog with border collie rescue. He had been placed in a foster home in Alexandria VA for about 12 hours when he took off running following a neighborhood stroll, before the door could be closed behind him. This occurred around midnight as Saturday, June 6th turned into Sunday the 7th. We need all the help we can get to find Leo and bring him to safety!
The escape occurred in the Park Fairfax area of Alexandria, which is bordered by N Quaker Ln on one side and West Glebe Rd on another. Both roads border the city of Alexandria and the county of Arlington. For Leo's safety, we must keep him away from those highly traveled roads!
Leo, a red & white border collie or mix, is fearful of humans but is not aggressive. He has white feet, a white stripe down his nose, and white on the tip of his tail. He is approximately 45 lbs and has green eyes.
He was wearing a collar with a tag from border collie rescue in Richmond.
There is MUCH to do in order to locate and recover him -- we just need the volunteers to help. Do you love border collies, or dogs in need? Whether you are close to the Alexandria/Arlington and can help saturate the Park Fairfax area with fliers right away, or are not close but can perform other tasks towards the goal of finding Leo, we are looking to hear from you!
For now, please respond to the blog by commenting, and we will have more contact information, a flier to download, a sighting map, Leo's Petfinder page and other information up as quickly as possible. Please spread the word!

Leo, a fearful duck toller (thought at the time to be a border collie mix) working his way through the rescue system, escaped his temporary caretaker and we WERE desperately trying to rescue him a second time! After 5+ weeks on the run, he and we are thrilled to report that he is SAFE!!!!!!

He's a pretty dog. I sent the link to your blog to my friends in Park Fairfax. (Why such a bad picture on the front of the blog though?) Best of luck
ReplyDeleteYah, we really do need to get to that item on the to-do list, don't we? Thanks for the push to get that done! And thanks for sending it to your friends!
ReplyDeleteI'm the person who posted earlier saying I think Leo is a clear sable English Shepherd. He looks so much like our dog Cody. Wish there was something I could do to help. We actually got our dogs from Virginia...this breed is not common and few people know about it. Maybe Leo was registered as part of the English Shepherd Club. That doesn't help find him of course, but if he could be identified and his original name found...perhaps he would respond to people calling out. These dogs are very very smart...
