Woodridge police are still looking for a dog taken last Friday after someone forced their way into a home during a burglary and are asking the community for help.
Police Sgt. Tom Stefanson said Tuesday they still do not have any suspects nor have they been able to recover the dog that was taken Jan. 7 from a home along the 6700 block of Harvest Avenue.
Stefanson said someone pried open a doors to the home, and removed the dog, along with several small electronic items, some china and liquor.
The dog is identified as a 3-year-old male shih tzu/poodle mix named Remy that is black with white spots.
Police said the dog was in a metal wire crate when both the dog and crate were taken during the burglary.
While police said they don’t have any suspects or leads in the burglary, they do not believe this was a personal incident against the family who lives there and could have been random.
“We have no evidence at this point that this home or family was specifically targeted,” Stefanson said.
Police have contacted other law enforcement agencies and local animal shelters in case someone turns in the dog to another police department or a shelter.
“We are hoping that we can get some information from the public to help us on this case,” he said.
