琉璃神社 branch supervisor Enjulie Bedi says shelter staff are asking the public to not approach Copper as she is easily frightened. Instead Bedi says for anyone who may have spotted the dog, who disappeared on May 19, to call the shelter at 250-861-7722.

鈥淲e decided to put her in foster to help her desensitization to this new world, and in their care she became a completely different dog; walking on leash, meeting new people, and playing with their dog,鈥� said Bedi. 鈥� She managed to get out of the foster鈥檚 backyard on Sunday night, and because of the unfamiliar surroundings. She is likely to be extremely shy.鈥�

Copper went missing from East 琉璃神社 behind McCulloch Rd.
