Springfield police are investigating after a dog was stolen from the Clark County SPCA.
It happened sometime between 7:45 a.m. and 8: 10 a.m. May 10 at 21 Walter Street, Springfield.
The employee told police she had put 9-month-old Ziek, a red heeler cattle dog, in an outside kennel to eat his breakfast. While she tended to other animals inside, Ziek was stolen.
There was also damage reported to a locking latch on an outside kennel. The shelter director said the kennel door had been kicked in and the padlock was still on the outside.
The dog is valued at $120, according to the police report. There was already a family lined up for the adoption.
Ziek is described as speckled brown and white with a blue face and blue tipped tale. If seen, call 937-925-6602 or 937-324-7680.
The shelter director said a second dog in a nearby kennel outside was found cowering in fright in the corner.
