Volunteers at a New Haven animal shelter are searching for a dog stolen during working hours.

Friends of the New Haven Animal Shelter are offering a $1,000 reward for the return of a dog that was stolen earlier in the week.

Staff of the shelter said they fear that whoever stole Game does not have the best intentions for the dog.

Workers said they are afraid that the dog thief took Game with illegal dog fighting in mind. New Haven Animal Shelter workers said Game would not defend himself well in a fight with another dog.

The workers encouraged the thief to bring Game back to the shelter and get the reward with no questions asked.
