MASON CITY – Early Monday morning, Pamela Johann, manager of a local miniwarehouse facility, called the Mason City Police Department to report that a dog had been locked in one of the storage units.
The Mason City Police and Animal Control responded to the call.
“They made sure that the dog was getting air, but couldn’t tell if it had food and water,” said Johann.
In storage shed #71, a dog could still be heard barking at 4:00 pm Monday afternoon. “I have went out and talked to the dog. It’s been barking and scratching at the inside of the door,” Johann went on to explain. “I’ve been trying to call the owners all day and I’ve left a note on the door, but I haven’t been able to get a hold of them. They have been long time renters and have always made their payments.”
“I don’t work until the afternoon tomorrow, but I’ll be coming in early to see if it it still here. If it is, I will cut the lock. I will have animal control here to watch over things,” said Johann. “I can’t believe someone would leave their pet in a storage. If it is still here, further action will be taken.”
If the dog is still in the storage tomorrow morning, NIT will be there for an update.
