Reported Mountain Lion in Canal Near a California Airport Was Actually Abandoned French Bulldog
The six-month-old French bulldog was mistaken for a mountain lion cub and is now receiving medical care before transfer to a specialized rescue, officials said.
- On Saturday, a reported mountain lion in a canal near Sacramento International Airport was actually an abandoned French bulldog, Ben Nuckolls of California Wildlife Encounters said.
- Rescuers learned the French bulldog was likely dumped because she did not meet breed standards and therefore had little dollar value, despite French bulldogs being valued for thousands of dollars.
- Nuckolls found the dog shivering and unresponsive, then took her to a veterinarian who found no microchip before taking her to the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for a mandatory stray hold; listings note she is about 6 months and 18 pounds.
- On Monday, the Bradshaw Animal Shelter said the dog is receiving treatment and will be sent to a bulldog-specialized rescue once cleared by veterinarians.
- Amid local mountain lion sightings in Natomas, a public reporter's possible mountain lion cub report prompted puppy rescue groups to act quickly, ensuring the animal's safe recovery on Saturday.
