The Toronto Humane Society (THS) is asking for help finding a 10-month-old dog that was allegedly stolen from the shelter Friday afternoon.
Hannah Sotropa, a spokesperson for THS, told Global News Friday evening that a man first came by the shelter on Thursday looking to adopt a dog. However, she said he was escorted off the property.
“He became very belligerent with the staff. He also claimed he was ex-military,” Sotropa said, adding the man didn’t return later in the day after the incident.
“When he came back today, he was wearing a hat, sunglasses, a completely different outfit. He was kind of unrecognizable by the staff and the security when he came in. He was in the shelter for under five minutes.”
Sotropa said the man went straight to the kennel and leashed the dog, a retriever-hound named Milo, before walking out the front door.
