At my first reporting at about 9:00 AM, two of the dogs seem to remain missing, and one (Candy) was returned as below:
First there was Selene, an unaltered red and white young Pekingese female of about 12 pounds, who was being cared for at the Animal Welfare Society in West Kennebunk Maine. She is six months to one years of age, and WAS wearing a pink collar. Selene was stolen on January 8, 2011 between the hours of 2 and 3 PM.
Candy was reported stolen, but was returned with a sweatshirt and a note. Then there was Candy, spayed female black lab X of 3 years old and about 35-40 pounds. She has small white markings on her face and chest. The link will bring you to petfinder, where you can put in an adoption application.
Aikido, male American Pitbull Terrier with red and white markings of about two years old weighing about 80 pounds, was stolen from the Bangor Humane Society (either on 1/10/2011 or 1/11/2011). He was last known to be wearing a red bandanna and BHS tag.If you feel you see these dogs, please report it to your local police. You never know if this person or person(s) may be dangerous. Each shelter has a facebook page up, and is talking about the dogs.
I can only imagine that all area shelters will be on the watch for suspicious activity or people lingering. This may very well be someone known to all shelters or it could be a group of people who are very misguided either in good intent or evil intent.
These dogs were surrendered to shelters/rescues that their original owners felt would give the appropriate medical care and future stable homes. If someone took the dogs to give them a "good home", be aware that a responsible person would have contacted the shelter and paid the very low adoption fee. The least expensive part of owning a dog (any dog) is usually the adoption fee.
I would urge this person or people to return the dogs immediately back to where they were entrusted in the first place.

Selene was returned yesterday, anomomously:) She was the first to be stolen, and the last to find her way back to her shelter.
