A puppy stolen from the Lawrence Humane Society was recovered on Tuesday, a Humane Society official said.

The 5-month-old pit bull-terrier mix, named Oxford, was stolen about 1 p.m. Monday from his kennel at the animal shelter.

Midge Grinstead, executive director of the shelter, said the Humane Society received a tip on Tuesday, and two juveniles were subsequently located with the dog.

“We saw them with it and I called police,” Grinstead said.

She said the juveniles were not arrested, but will instead do community service work at the shelter.
