$1,000 Reward Offered For Puppy Stolen From Foster Home

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A $1,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to a rescue dog that was stolen last week from his foster home in the north metro.

Ruff Start Rescue says Shermie, a 3-month old boxer, was taken Thursday from his Robbinsdale foster home, near the intersection of Halifax and 39 ½ avenues.

A spokesperson for the rescue group says that Shermie is on medication for a respiratory infection and needs medication immediately.

Shermie is described as black with white patches on his chest and paws. He weighs about 20 pounds.
