The dog did not have a license but did have a white flea collar and a black nylon collar.  He still requires further surgery for a bone fracture at the front of his skull.

The Regional District says it along with the SPCA has received  many calls from people wishing to donate money to cover the dog’s surgery, but the owner of the dog has yet to come forward.

The owner now has 72 hours to come forward otherwise the district assumes ownership of the dog.  In that case, the animal would likely be handed over to the SPCA for adoption.
