Eatontown Resident Searching For Lost Dog

An Eatontown woman is searching for her lost dog that has been missing since Sunday morning after he jumped over a small fence in her yard.

Bailey, a 2-3-year-old beagle, is white, tan and black, weighs about 19 pounds and went missing off Route 71 near the West Long Branch Shop Rite.

Bailey is wearing a plastic collar with no ID and does not answer to his name.

His other distinguishing characteristic is that he has cherry eye in his right eye. Cherry eye is a congenital eye defect that causes a dog's third eyelid to protrude, making the red membrane visible.

The dog was recently rescued from the gas chamber in South Carolina and had just arrived at his new foster home on Friday, Aug. 10, before escaping two days later.

Bailey was reportedly last spotted near Myrtle Avenue in Long Branch, so the owners will be placing flyers in that area and along Route 36 today.

Anybody who sees Bailey should contact Grace at 908 433-5875 or Maureen at 732 233-2342.
