Lost dog found in parking lot of Dollhouse Nursery 2018-05-11 - Burkesville Street, Columbia, Adair County, KY - Photo by Anna Murrell. My name is Anna Murrell, and I have found a male dog on Burkesville Street in Columbia in the parking lot of Dollhouse Daycare. He is wearing a black collar with silver studs around it, and he seems to definitely be a house dog. I did not want him to get hit, and he doesn't seem to belong to anyone around Burkesville Street. Hoping to find the owner - Anna Murrell anna.murrell@lindsey.edu Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
