Pitbull Mix Missing in Glen Burnie

The new owners of a pitbull mix are asking the public's help in looking for their lost dog Trumpet.

The dog was adopted from the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS), which is assisting in the search.

Trumpet was lost in the 7300 block of Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard and last seen in the area of Old Stage and Quarterfield roads at about 5 p.m. on New Year's Eve.

The man who reported seeing Trumpet told BARCS the dog was working his way south parallel to Maryland Route 97 and was wearing a blue harness with the leash still attached.

BARCS provided this tip for helping to catch Trumpet:

If you see him, DO NOT chase him. Sit, and coax him to come to you using food to attract him if you have it. Dogs will develop a pattern of a circle once they develop a food source and safe place to sleep. The first instinct will be to chase him but this will knock him out of his pattern and send him running wildly again, making it more difficult to find him.

With colder weather coming, BARCS representatives said they are afraid that if he is not found soon, he will die from exposure or be hit by a car.

Anyone who sees Trumpet is asked to immediately call Flo at 801-643-4912 and Becky at 443-739-8975.
