LIBERTY — The Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County is trying to locate the owner of a dog that needs emergency surgery.

The large, black, male dog has been hit by a motor vehicle and was found at Tibbetts Wick Road and state Route 11 around noon Saturday, said Barb Busko, league spokeswoman. The dog is at Town & Country Veterinary Hospital in Howland, but the owner must give permission before the surgery will be done, Busko said.

The owner should call Town & Country at (330) 856-1862.
