Dog found on East 80, Columbia, KY 2012-08-13 - Photo by Anita Green. This dog has been at my house for a couple of weeks now. I live on Hwy East 80 about 4 miles from Columbia, KY. When she arrived she was wearing a collar, so hopefully she's someone's dog and has gotten lost. She's very friendly with people and dogs but doesn't like cows or cats so I can't keep her. I'm hoping you can help me find her owner. The number to contact me is 270-384-4734 or 270-384-5227. - Anita Green Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
