Baby Paul The Chihuahua Mix Has Been Missing Since Saturday

NAPERVILLE, IL — Animal control and Lost Dogs of Illinois have set traps in the area to try to capture this brown and black Chihuahua mix named Paul. The baby has been on the run since Saturday evening. He was recently adopted from in Chicago and managed to slip through a fence. The traps are east of Washington Street between 75th Street and Bailey Road.

One of Paul's family members, Ryan Yocum, told Patch he's been seen all over the 75th Street and Washington Street area, including Winding Creek and Old Farm subdivisions. He added he's "so grateful" for the public's response to the missing pup.

A Facebook post from the Naperville Police Department said Paul is extremely skittish, so residents are asked not to attempt to capture him. This could chase him into busy traffic or away from the traps. Instead, call Animal Control at 630-420-6178 to report his location.

Lost Dogs Of Illinois is a volunteer group that has been helping Yocum and his family bring Paul back.
