from A1
Anna. It felt like Roxy’s way of
saying it was going to be ok,”
Asleson said, her voice clogged
with tears.
Anna was only with Asleson for
six weeks and as a rescue, she
hasn’t quite gotten the hang of
her name yet and is still scared
of her surroundings. It’s the fi rst
domino in a disastrous line of
out-of-the-ordinary events that
led to Anna’s initial disappear-
ance.
“My in-laws are from Albany
and usually, for Th anksgiving,
we go to the coast,” Asleson
said. “But they saw an advertise-
ment for the buff et at the Village
Green.”
It led the family to Cottage
Grove and Black Friday coaxed
them to Eugene.
“I wouldn’t usually bring her
to the store but we weren’t going
to be long and so I got her in the
car,” Asleson said. “So, that’s what
makes it worse, this is my fault, I
shouldn’t have opened the door,”
she cried.
Anna jumped out of the car
and, startled by her unfamiliar
environment, took off .
Asleson took to Facebook,
garnering more than a hundred
comments among several posts
for help with some residents of-
fering to join her in her search as
she drove 15 hours a day, logging
450 miles around Cottage Grove.
Th ere have been some sight-
ings reported but, due to her
breed and color, Anna is diffi cult
to track down.
“Th ere are at least four other
white pit bulls but when you see
them, they’re happy they’re with
their owners, that’s not Anna. She
would be struggling to get away,
they would have to keep her on a
leash because she wouldn’t will-
ingly follow an-yone. I just know
she’s so scared,” Asleson said.
Th e most credible sighting,
Asleson says, is one from a trailer
park near Calvary Chapel that re-
ported a white pit bull was caught
by an individual who appeared to
be a transient.
“Th ey said she was struggling
and didn’t want to be caught or

Anna, a white pit bull puppy, has been missing since Friday, Nov. 23, after she escaped from
the Asleson family’s car at Village Green.
held and that’s what Anna would
do,” she said.
While the Calvary Chapel has
security cameras, they didn’t re-
cord the incident.
Last Tuesday, Asleson had to
return to Washington, but came
back last Friday to continue
searching, noting Anna may be
running out of time.
“When we got her, because
she’s a rescue, she had kennel
cough and hook-worm. She’s still
being treated for that and she
was supposed to have her medi-
cine on Monday. I asked my vet if
she could die and she just needs
her medicine,” she said.
Asleson is off ering a $200 re-
ward for Anna’s return.
“If you have her, no one is
mad, we won’t press charges,
I just want her back,” she said.
“I’m glad you have her and she’s
not dying in the woods but I
just want her back. Th e people in
your town have been so nice and
I could never repay them.”
Anna is seven months old, has
big ears (that may appear up or
down) and is white with a black
nose. She is skittish and does not
know her name. She was wearing
