Houston’s BARC Animal Shelter is warning of a scam that has targeted several people, including the owner of one dog that’s been missing for more than a week.
Pipa, a 10-year-old chihuahua mix described by her owner as full of life, dug under a fence and escaped from her home near I-610 and Yale Street on May 28.
“When I got the caller I.D., it said City of Houston, so I immediately answered it,” Pipa’s owner said After about 30 minutes of dealing with credit card problems, the caller suggested Cash App as a different form. Pipa’s owner agreed and sent the money using the app.She sent a family friend to BARC as soon as the payment went through, but the shelter had already closed for the day and the gate was locked, despite the caller telling her they’d stay late until Pipa got picked up.
