Family looking for pet dog that was reportedly stolen and needs medication

A family is looking for their pet dog and is hoping the community can help.

Mandy Hancock is worried sick about her missing dog that has medical issues and was reportedly stolen.

“Griselda has severe allergies as well as hyperkeratosis on her small paw pads (meaning pads needs to be soaked after every walk). With her allergies it causes severe scabbing, scratching and hair loss as well as skin breakdown.”

Griselda went missing from the Tuttle and Benjamin Street area of Fall River.

Mandy states that she has been told of two people that live on Tripp Street that stole the dog.

“My sister and I went over to the building to ask questions. At that time a maybe 10–12-year-old girl exited the first-floor front of the building and walked over to ask us if we have a picture because her back neighbor “crazy angie” has a new dog this afternoon outside here. I asked what the dog looked like. The girl described my dog before the picture was even shown to her.”

Mandy also contacted the Fall River Police Department.

“I contacted the cops right away. They came, but without proof could do nothing but knock and search what they were allowed to.”

She says another witness has recently come forward.

“Yesterday we found an eyewitness via Facebook who is willing to come forward to cops but remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation.”

Today, Mandy received more information.

“Now today, a gentleman was shoveling from the first-floor front, and someone asked him. He showed (the photo) to his kids and again they said up until last night my dog is still there in that house!!”
