Lacey, a Polish lowland sheepdog who was lost for two months, was reunited with her family on Mother’s Day, thanks to help from Shelton residents.

Lacey’s family, who live in Monroe, were visiting relatives in Shelton on March 11 when Lacey slipped her collar. The family made up flyers and began efforts to find their beloved pet.

Teri McNamara of Shelton spotted the pup on Aquarion property but Lacey was too scared to let anyone approach her. Irene and Mike McCoy saw the dog on Isinglass Road in Shelton. McCoy, who operates Shelton’s Compassion for Cats, knew the dog needed to be rescued, so they worked with another animal advocate, Michelle DeAngelo.

They decided that hunger would likely overcome the dog’s fear so they set up a daytime feeding station near where they had spotted Lacey. They borrowed a dog trap from a neighboring town’s animal control officer and after two days were able to get Lacey.

“Lacey walked into her home on Mother’s Day morning,” McCoy said. “She was returned to a joyful, tear-filled reunion with her ecstatic owners.”
