On Monday morning, 2/20/17 RASHA, an 8 year old, neutered blind Husky went missing from his foster home on north McKinley st in Gallup. RASHA is microchipped & was wearing a red collar, but no ID tags. He is mostly white with a bit of red in his fur & has 2 blue eyes. RASHA was recently rescued & is not familiar with the area at all. There are many people very worried about RASHAS safety out on his own & we are desperately seeking info on his whereabouts. There is a $1000 REWARD for the safe return of RASHA, no questions asked. If you might know where RASHA is, or might have seen him wondering around town, please call the numbers listed in the flyer below ASAP.
