Cloverport Estates neighbors unite to save 206 Lost Dog

Little white dog was wandering from Haven Hill Cemetery to Cloverport Estates, dodging busy, fast moving traffic. Cloverport neighbors, took the lost pet into their hearts, and were able to lure it into a cage, gain a bit of its confidence, and, with John Shelley III's re-hydration and nutrition program, put it on its way back to health - and hopefully, a reunion with its family. Already, it's worked it's way into the collective Cloverport foster family, and may be, today, the luckiest dog in the world.

Thanks to a valiant (nearly heroic) efforts by John Shelley III, the 206 Lost Dog was lured into a cage at approximately 9pmCT, near Louis McQueary's home.

Shelley told me, "Were it not for the efforts of my wife, Jamie, and Brenda McQueary, Todd Greene, and Alan and Jane Reed, this story may have had a tragic ending."



Shelley is nursing the dog back to health on a protein diet if sliced turkey. Brenda McQueary is supplying high energy food and Shelley says that in his experience, re-hydrating the canine is priority #1 until it's owner has the chance to claim the pet.

Shelley worked from around 4pm until 9pmCT by flashlight.

Little white dog wandering Haven Hill to Cloverport Estates



2015-06-30 - 1200 block, Liberty Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Alan W. Reed.
Small dog apparently lost - Finally was able to her to pause for a photo. This small female dog is wearing a collar and has spent yesterday and today wandering back and forth between Haven Hill Cemetery and Cloverport Estates. There is a good chance the dog has been "spooked" by the recent storms since none of us have been able to get closer to her than about 50 feet. In an attempt to buy time for the owner or animal control officer, concerned Cloverport residents are attempting to help the small dog back across KY 206, one of the busiest roads in Adair County. It had taken up temporary residence near the end of Creekport Drive and at Bob White's home near the junction of KY 206 (Liberty Road) and Cloverport Drive. - ALAN W. REED

The little white 206 Lost Dog, who just nine hours before was so skittish of rescuers it had to be lured into a trap, had bonded with the John M. Shelley III, who kept up the search for he little fellow even after the search had to be conducted by flashlight. This morning, the two seemingly have known each other forever. Shelley made hydration the first order of business, and put 206 LD on a high protein diet of deli sliced turkey. Neighbors in the Cloverport Community united to savet the dog, fearing it might become a victim of KY 206/Liberty Road, as it crossed the road many times during the day from Cloverport to Haven Hill Cemetery, believed to have been searching for its family.
