Two Pit Bulls Stolen From Taunton Animal Shelter

Two pit bulls are missing from the Taunton Animal Shelter. Police believe the animals were taken on Thursday night.

Shelter officials are especially concerned because one of the dogs, "Gerry", needs medication and surgery.

The one-and-a-half year-old has problems with a back leg and needs surgery to repair his knee and hip.

The other pit bull, "Phoenix", is a female, approximately two-years-old with white spots.

The thieves entered the shelter by cutting the lock on the back gate. They then used a shovel to pry open the runs where the dogs were.

Anyone with information on the dogs is urged to call police at 508-824-7522 or the shelter at 508-822-2150.

This isn't the first time animals have been stolen from the Taunton Animal Shelter. Last year, a beagle was taken but later returned.
