Volunteers at the Humane Society are desperately trying to find one of their dogs that has run away.

Kai was being walked near the centre on Tuesday afternoon when she was struck by a car.

Terrified after the impact, the small dog fled and hasn’t been recovered.

Concerned staff are worried that although she didn’t have visible injuries, she may have internal problems and needs to be treated by a vet.

A spokesman for the Society said: “She was spotted at Home & Office City in the Industrial Park and then ran toward the airport.

“Kai is a smaller dog – about 30 pounds or so. She did not appear to be injured, but she may not have felt her injuries yet when she ran off, so we are very concerned.”

If anyone spots Kai or knows where she is, call Humane Society on 949 1461.
