(05-14) 16:08 PDT RENO -- The condemned pit bull that was sprung from the Alameda animal shelter, allegedly by its owners, has been found in Reno and will be euthanized next week, authorities said Friday.
Max, a 3-year-old, 70-pound red nose pit bull, was located at a Reno motel Thursday night and was taken to a local shelter. An Alameda animal control officer will drive to Reno on Monday to retrieve Max, after which the dog will be destroyed, said Alameda police Sgt. Jill Ottaviato.

An Alameda County Superior Court commissioner ordered Max destroyed Tuesday. The dog was labeled dangerous because he bit a veterinary technician in Oakland and a friend of Cochran and Perry at the couple's home at the Alameda Islander Motel.
Alameda animal-control officials were ready to euthanize Max shortly after Commissioner Thomas Rasch issued his ruling Tuesday. Rasch, however, agreed to allow Cochran and Perry to say their goodbyes at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
But after the hearing, police believe, Cochran bought a set of bolt cutters, setting into motion a plan he had allegedly hatched with Perry to break into the shelter on Fortmann Way and steal Max. The pit bull vanished from his locked kennel sometime between 4:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The couple's Ford F-150 pickup truck was seen on surveillance video taken outside the animal shelter the morning of the break-in, said Deputy District Attorney Mark McCannon of Alameda County.

Awww! Evil is CUTE!
P.S. Thanks!
Can't sleep...pit bulls will eat me. ;-)
Btw, she hates my chickens, but the dog hasn't been a problem there, yet.
What do you think I should do?
Geeze!
I can’t find freaking Origen anywhere around here and I feel like I’m feeding my dog garbage even when he’s eating $60 a bag Halo.
I hope you don’t neuter that guy.
Those are some genes that need to go ~back~ into the pool....:))
Semper FI!
Chupacabra?
LOL!
Alice’s copyright lawyers will be contacting you soon.
I watched that video.
Need to go and quickly get some of my son’s insulin.
Sue her for medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages, if you had to take time off work.
SHE is supposed to be the smart one of the pair.
If she isn’t *now*, wise her up some by hitting her where it hurts.
Taking her dog away isn’t going to -teach- her anything.
Taking her money away *will*.
Awwww....that is so sweet!
[there’s one cat who’ll never have to worry about dogs chasing it]
You liked it.
Admit it.
But he won't admit it.
I liked it.
But I won't...
Eh, never mind.
busted!
ROFL.....that’s *awful* looking but funny.
