— The Danville Police Department is asking residents to be on the lookout for a potentially dangerous dog that escaped from the Danville Area Humane Society shortly after midnight Thursday.
The dog is described as a female black Labrador/pit bull mix.
According to police, the animal was impounded on October 27 following a biting incident.
A hearing to determine whether the dog meets Virginia's legal definition of a dangerous dog, under Code of Virginia § 3.2-6540, is scheduled for November 17.
Until that hearing takes place, police are urging the public to remain alert and use caution if the dog is spotted.
Anyone who sees the animal should avoid approaching or attempting to capture it and contact the Danville Police Department.
The search remains ongoing.
