Shared on FB. I hope they find Wylie unharmed. I also hope they find the scumbags that stole him!
Is any kind of doors in the shelters? It seams that any one can just walk and take what they whant. I hope he is doing fine.

GOD BLESS YOU DOG NAMED WYLIE, MAY YOU GET BACK SAFE AND BE RETURNED SOOOON, HELATHY AND SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING, REPORT IT, WHAT EVER YOU KNOW ALOT OR A PEICE, REPORT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW IRRESPONSIBLE OF THIS SHELTER, who was suppose to be supervising this dog? THIS IS SO UNACCEPTABLE. They were suppose to be responsible for the care and safety of this dog. SHAME ON THIS SO CALLED SHELTER! Someone needs to be held accountable for the loss of this dog!
How is that dogs are being stolen out of SHELTERS? Is there someone from the inside who helps people take dogs? I don't understand this crap--is nowhere safe?
We have raised the reward up to $375 for info leading to the safe return of wylie
This dog has to be found b4 this critter is used for bait, or trained for fighting. Is there no locked compound where an animal is to be protected from this type of thing in a shelter ? It's a lesson that this shelter I hope has learned, and it won't happen again. Let's hope this puppy gets found and returned quickly.
How can someone just walk into a shelter and steal an animal.This is a real worry.I am extremely concerned for the welfare of Wylie.he looks like a lovely boy.I hope he is returned safely.
Any news on Wylie yet? So sad this has me praying hard that this sweet boy is returned safe & sound soon please someone call in and help him someone knows where he is he has no voice or way to help himself someone call and or bring him back he does not deserve to be a chew toy for $ !!!!!
The related link to this to the Texas newspaper has a chip in link it needs to be here so we all can see it and pitch in. I had asked on that if he is not found and returned will the $ be refunded as I really can't afford much at this time but Wylie haunts me and I want to have this boy safely returned he is beautiful so if the chip is just for Wylie I want to donate can anyone put that chip in here as this is more widely posted thanks I'm not that good with computers so I do not know how too :)!
