Snohomish County Animal Services is reaching out to the public to help identify a dog shot earlier this month.

The dog, a female black Labrador mix, was found dead with a gunshot wound after police responded to a call of potential gunshots near North Carpenter Road in Snohomish on July 16, according to a post on Facebook.



The post also noted that the dog did not have identification or a microchip, but she could be identified by white markings “underneath her neck and on her upper chest.”

Anyone who may recognize her from her description, or in the area between 4 and 5 p.m. on July 16, is encouraged to reach out to Snohomish County Animal Services.
