Clare County Animal Control Officers are working to get a dog off of the island on Cranberry Lake, according to the Clare County Animal Shelter.
The dog is a brown and white great dane who is believed to have been on the island for 11 days, according to a Facebook post by Animal Control Officer Bob Dodson who works at Clare County Animal Shelter. He found her on the island by using a drone with another animal control officer. They were able to track her for a little bit, but then she went missing again.
Dodson says in the post that they didn’t want to push her because they were worried it would exhaust and kill her. Instead, Dodson called Harrison Lumber who is going to donate pallets to make a better path to an open area on the island where they will set up a trap for a few days.
Dodson goes on to say in the post that if this does not work, then he is hoping to get volunteers to help make a line and get the dog in one spot. She might cross the canal that way and someone can be there to meet her.
If the trap does not work, then Dodson will be heading to the island Thursday with a drone and volunteers, the Facebook post says.
Dodson warns that you will get wet if you volunteer and that you should bring something to help you walk.
If you would like to volunteer, then you can contact Officer Dodson at 989-539-3221.
