FOUND DOG HWY 20 SOUTH OF TWISP: A good Samaritan from Texas picked up an intact male Golden Retriever standing in the middle of Hwy 20 about 15- 20 minutes south of Twisp this evening, Tuesday 11/23. He is wearing a blue reflective collar with bones on it, no ID and he is not microchipped. He weighs 96 lbs. He seems very sweet and we estimate that he is 3-4 years old. He is currently at Winthrop Veterinary Clinic. If you know where he belongs, please call 509-996-2793. Public Service Announcement: Please spay and neuter your pets and make sure that they have visible identification or a microchip.
