Someone’s pooch got loose, ran down to the sheriffs office and turned it into a puppy gas chamber 😂 💩 ⛽️ This guy is now at the shelter where he can express himself freely 🫣
If he belongs to you, please have proof of ownership ready and call 423-279-2741 and leave a message at option 1.

This is my dog! My husband is going to claim him!
How many pets were killed in the gas chamber? That’s so sad.
Have they been reunited yet?
He sure is a dapper looking fart machine! So happy he's been reunited with his family and the sheriff's department can now breathe a sigh of relief...safely. <3
