MIDDLETOWN, Md. – Frederick County authorities are looking for the person who fatally shot a golden retriever puppy near Middletown.  Animal Control Director Harold Domer told The Frederick News-Post that the owners found the 7-month-old dog, named Heidi, dead on their property on Station Road on Wednesday afternoon.  Domer said three other golden retrievers were found on the property unharmed. He said the shooting occurred sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Domer said the shooter could face animal cruelty charges when caught.  Anyone with information should call Frederick County Animal Control officials at 301-600-1544.  An 11 News viewer said the owner of the puppy is a member of the GoldHeart Golden Retriever Rescue, which is setting up a fund to offer a reward to catch the culprit.
