Escaped Rottweiler Captured Safely

Submitted release

The Simsbury and Granby Police Departments have worked diligently with residents to locate and capture the Rottweiler dog that escaped from a kennel in Bloomfield on Dec. 2, 2013. In a coordinated effort between police departments and the community, the dog was safely captured in Granby on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013. 

The dog had frequented a particular area in Granby for the last couple of days. A Granby resident in that area provided a desirable environment for the dog, which allowed for a temporary detention of the dog until officials arrived. The Granby and Simsbury Police Departments secured the dog and safely brought it to a veterinarian. 

The Simsbury Police Department extends its gratitude to members of the community who helped and offered to help with the recovery of this dog
