Dog Missing For 2 Weeks After Fire Still Sought As Temps Plunge

WEST CHICAGO, IL -- Two weeks after a devastating kennel fire claimed the lives over more than 30 dogs in West Chicago, a dog that escaped during the chaos is still missing. With heavy snow on the ground and below-zero temperatures approaching, Simba's owners are holding out hope that community members can stay on the lookout for him and send along any sign they have of a sighting.

Simba is described as a tan and white adult male bully breed who may have sustained injuries in the fire. Those searching for him believe he may be hiding or have taken shelter in a covered area or outdoor shed.

Residents are advised not to chase Simba if he's spotted as he is believed to be in flight mode after the trauma he experienced in the fire. If you see Simba, take note of his location and direction of travel and call 779-875-6309.
