Puppy Stolen From Fox Valley Pet Store

AURORA, IL — A 10-week-old shih tzu puppy was reportedly stolen from the Furry Babies store in the Fox Valley Mall. The theft comes a week after a French bulldog puppy was stolen from another Furry Babies location in Joliet.

According to NBC Chicago, the shih tzu puppy only weighs a few pounds and was stolen from its cage at Furry Babies. NBC reported the 10-week-old dog is valued at $3,400.

Store staff reportedly noticed the puppy was missing after 7 p.m. Wednesday.

It's not the first puppy theft at the location. In September, an English bulldog puppy was stolen from the store but later returned.

Police ask anyone with information on the theft to call the Aurora Police Investigations Division at 630-256-5500.
