‼️Pupdate: One of the rangers took this sweet girl to check for a chip and…. she had one! She has since been dropped off at the Monroe County Animal Shelter who happily helped us out by reaching out to her family.

Is this your dog? One of the rangers found her on their drive into the park. Absolute sweetheart with the prettiest face and eyes! If so, please give us a call or shoot us a message at (423)-930-0083. Our main phone lines are down so calls to the main office will not go through.

Please share to help find the owner or someone who may know the owner.
