Stolen Dog (Syracuse, NY)

Stolen Dog

My name is Nicole bodah I live at 108 south carbon street syracuse ny. Over the fourth of July holiday weekend my dog escaped my yard. Tuesday morning my mom received a call from phone number 315-317-0542 in response to my lost dog flyers asking strange questions about the lost pet. As if we were being bated so the caller could obtain information to aid in selling the dog. I then called the number and pleaded with this man to please give back my dog he then attempted to extort me claiming I d have to give him 500 to get MY lost dog back. I have no way to find this person or my dog. Police cannot track him down and it s my word against his. The phone number appears to be registered to a terissa sherbert on edgewood rd dr in Eastwood. However I cannot locate an exact address. And the phone may have been sold at this time. I don t know what to do. He is 1.5 years old and probably scared. He is sweet and because he is not yet fixed may be used for breeding. I m so scared for my dog and I don t know what to do. PLEASE HELP ME.
