Dog Found on Rt. 155 at SPCA
This dog was found yesterday (10/13) on Route 155 between Port Allegany and Sizerville State Park. Some good samaritans from Pittsburgh spent their day of vacation trying to find the dog’s home instead of their planned hike on this glorious Autumn day.. They didn’t succeed in finding the owners and the dog is now at the McKean County SPCA. Please share this photo and information with your readers so hopefully this wonderful dog can be reunited with his owners.
