left to conclude that the thief or thieves knew they themselves could not provide a suitable home for these dogs. Given their criminal act, I’d say they’ve just confirmed it.

Two dogs were taken: Harry is a neutered Rottweiler male, less than a year old. He’s black with tan points and looks purebred. He has a tail that curls slightly over his back. He was wearing a red collar when he was stolen. Harry weighs about 70 lbs, is very friendly and puppy-like.

Bebe is a Beagle, un-spayed female, also less than a year old. She has a veiy small body and a veiy large head. She has a fungus on her head that is supposed to look much like rain rot. But it may be mistaken for ringworm. Bebe weighs about 20 lbs. She’s very friendly as well. Unfortunately, Bebe had arrived so recently at the shelter that there’s no photograph of her.

Please keep your eyes open for these two dogs. If someone in your neighborhood has two new dogs that seem very similar to the descriptions of Harry & Bebe, please call RAWL at 9373336 or 937-3283.

RAWL has upgraded its security as a result of the break in. It’s unfortunate that funds meant for the care of the dogs at the shelter had to be spent on extra security. If you’ve been meaning to donate to RAWL, it’s a great time to follow through on those good intentions. For more information on RAWL, you can check out its web site at www.rawldogs.org

There are lots of wonderful dogs available for adoption. And if you’re looking for a great volunteer opportunity locally, they’d love to hear from you.

Their move from their former home just west of Warrenton was uneventful. Archie says Rappahannock County is the place to be! Now
