See Missing Southington Dog? What You Need To Do

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A beloved missing family dog on the radar of Southington's animal control department is now the subject of a locally-based dog rescue outfit.

The CT Dog Gone Recovery Volunteer Network in Southington has posted updated information about a 3-year-old black Lab who has, seemingly, just disappeared.

His name is "Barkley" and he is from the Plantsville section of town in the Whitlock Avenue/Norton Street (Route 10) area.

He weighs 60 pounds and wears a black collar and, according to the network, needs medication to deal with food allergies.

The canine went missing last week and updated information has been posted this week.

"There have been no sightings of this sweet boy," the CT Dog Gone Recovery Volunteer Network wrote via social media. "All surrounding towns have been contacted, posters are up and everybody has been alerted."

Despite the full efforts of the network and local animal control, however, the beloved pet is still missing and the family is very worried.

"There is a reward for his safe return. No questions asked," wrote the network. "The family just wants him home for Christmas."

Anyone who sees a dog resembling "Barkley" is asked to immediately call 860-681-2208.
