Search on for Missing 100-Pound Tortoise in New Jersey

The hunt is on in New Jersey for a missing 100-pound tortoise named Sulley.

Sulley escaped his owners’ backyard over Labor Day weekend and was still missing Thursday, reports NJ.com.

The Pattenburg Volunteer Fire Company is leading the search for Sulley in the woods off Baptist Church Road with the help of K-9 officer Timmy, an 11-pound German Shepard, according to NJ.com.

The PVFC said Thursday on Facebook that Timmy lost the tortoise’s scent, meaning he may have burrowed into the ground or entered water.

Anyone who may have seen Sulley is asked to contact Chief Dan VanFossen at 908-930-2558.
