Puppy missing, four year old distraught

June 5, 2011
Sparkles, a young black and grey Schipperchi puppy, has been missing since Saturday evening.
A Bonners Ferry family's puppy went romping with another of their dogs Saturday evening, and while the other dog came home, Sparkles is still missing, four year old Billie Jo is devastated, and a family has spent hours searching.

Apparently, Sparkles, a little black and gray Schipperchi puppy, four months old, was following her big friend, J.R., who found a weak spot in the fence and pushed his way through. The dogs were seen at about 7 p.m. Saturday heading down Riverside Road, passing Dave and Brenda Walter's home heading toward the refuge. At about 7 a.m. Sunday, J.R. came home, but there's been no sign of Sparkles.

"I'm hoping someone saw her and picked her up," Pam said. "She is so little and cute someone might want to keep her. We would like to have her back home."

As soon as they discovered the dogs missing, Pam Copeland and her family began searching, but spent more than two hours looking in the wrong direction.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Pam through her Facebook page, and additional information will be provided as it becomes available. You can reach her by clicking here, or by calling (208) 597-0054.
