Dog That Attacked Woman Stolen From Animal Shelter

COLORADO -- Authorities are trying to identify someone who stole a ferocious dog after breaking into a Glenwood Springs animal rescue facility.

The tan pit bull-rottweiler mix was impounded after attacking a woman in Parachute four months earlier, said Jennifer Kelly, spokeswoman for the Garfield County Sheriffs Office.

On the night of Sept. 15, someone broke a window at the back of the Colorado Animal Rescue facility in Glenwood Springs and stole the dog, Kelly said.

Garfield County Crime Stoppers and the sheriff's office are asking for the public's help in finding those responsible for the burglary and dog theft.

A reward of up to $1,000 is offered to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and/or indictment of whoever committed this crime. People can anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 970-945-0101 or provide a text tip at http://www.garcocrimestoppers.com/
