Seven puppies that went missing in Washington D.C. were found Sunday after their owner's car was stolen over the weekend, police said.
A community member found the seven puppies from a litter of eight American bulldogs a day after they went missing, the D.C. police department posted Sunday night on X, formerly known as Twitter.
They are still looking for the last missing puppy and are asking for anyone with information to come forward.
The missing puppy is "dark in color is dark in color with white markings," said a press release from the department. Police are asking anyone with information on the location of the puppy to call (202) 727-9099.
Police are offering an $1,000 reward to anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest and conviction for the person or people responsible.

According to the release, at around 1 p.m. Saturday, the dog's owner turned her car on and loaded the 5-week-old puppies into her Mazda CX-3. When she stepped back into her house for no more than a couple of minutes to grab her bag and coat, her car and the puppies were stolen.
She "went to go back outside, and the car was gone," read the police report.
Sunday morning, police found her car, but the puppies were missing. The victim, a breeder and veterinary technician, dreaded the the possible outcome of the puppies, NBC Washington reported .
"They’re still too young to care for themselves or do anything," the owner said to the news outlet.
Her and other breeders used social media to spread information regarding the missing bullies and she soon got the call saying someone found seven of the pups and turned them in to police.
She told NBC Washington that she's thankful the seven are healthy, but it's hard not knowing where the eighth missing puppy could be.
“I’m hoping to get him back, but if not, I at least hope that he’s being taken care of properly," said the victim.
In the last few weeks, 10 dogs, including the eight puppies, were reported stolen. Here are the other cases of stolen dogs:
