UPDATE: Stolen Monroe County puppies found, suspected thieves located

2 puppies that were stolen from a Monroe County animal shelter on Thursday have been found, and so have the people who are accused of taking them

MONROE COUNTY, Ga. — Two puppies that were stolen from a Monroe County animal shelter on Thursday have been found, and so have the people who are accused of taking them. 

On Saturday, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office wrote a post on Facebook asking for help identifying two people after puppies were stolen from a shelter.

The sheriff’s office wrote that the people they were looking for are both female. An update says they have been located.

They are suspected of breaking into Save a Pet on Maynard Church Road and stealing two puppies around 4 p.m, after the shelter was closed for the day.

The post says they visited the shelter earlier that day, too.

The puppies are described as being mixed breed. One is male with a black and brown coat, and the other is female with white and brown coloring.

According to the post, they were last seen driving an older model, two-door Ford Explorer Sport. It has a Floyd County, Florida tag.

Anyone with information about the case can call Deputy Mercer at (478)994-7010.
