This dog was found on Freemen Brook Road and has no collar or tags. His color is blonde and he is a young unneutered male. He has been on his own for a bit and is quite nervous and skittish. His longish coat of hair was matted right down to his skin and appears to be a labradoodle of some type.

If this is your dog let me know. Please have some form of ID for the dog to retrieve him from where he is being taken care of in Mount Holly. The people are working on his coat and comfort and their dog is providing calm to this lovely pup.

Thanks everyone..
