My B Is Missing!!!!
-
we have posters and flyers up everywhere, mom went to all the local vets that are close by with flyers and to notify them of whats happend, all the spca's and shelters in our area have been notified and have pics etc, the microchip company has been notified as well….a reward has been offered on the posters, we check the shelters daily, and we check the body identification list daily as well just in case the worst of the worst happens (thank God it hasnt!!!!). there is an ad in the local paper (havent thought about the radio...i will prolly do that today...thanks for the idea).
my mom has a coworker with two girls that go to the nearby school...both are old enough to understand whats going on and that if someone has him its not there dog....both girls said they would start talking to classmates and see if someone mentions a new dog...etc etc
i just pray that someone got him and thought oh a puppy for an xmas present and is keeping him...and he is safe and warm and being loved!!!
thanks for everything!!! i just have faith that he will be back!!!!

If you put out more flyers perhaps you should add "NEEDS MEDICATION." If the dog was taken by someone they might perhaps decide not to keep a dog if they think it has a life long medical issue that requires spending $$$$. I had a friend who used this method to get their dog back (and the dog didn't really need medication).

What a great idea….

I heard that this works really well to add to their ID tags also, people tend to not want to keep a dog they have to put effort into or they think is sick

When you are looking for a dog there are a couple of basice things - one - while you can mention the breed - lots of folks don't know it so describe the dog (I remember a humane society called me once to evaluate a basenji that was loosing a lot of hair - big time shedding - I went there they had already adopted it out and at it was a Shiba Inu at which point they looked at each other and said - oops I bet it belonged to the people who called.)
You need to include universities and medical labs who do research. I druggie can make 1500 a week stealing and reselling dogs and that's in MN - can't imagine in CA.
If you can figure out what direction the dog went - go 10miles straight line in that direction and flyer that way. If you think he's been at the park and someone picked him up - circle around the park several blocks in each direction, flyer at any school or church nearby and any grooming, vet or pet supply. Check out dog parks in that radius.
I will tell you that I spent a summer in Mt Vernon IL looking for a lost collie - we spent thousands of dollars, and lots of man hours - cable tv we were on the radio etc. Never did find her until after a batcher sold her to another state for purposes of puppies. Then we found out who had her the whole time we were looking.
be sure to add - no questions asked. Another thing we did to increase visibility was to make t-shirts with the dog pix on the BACK with big letters LOST dog on the back. We made several and whenever someone came in from out of state to help us look they had a shirt to wear. Good luck.

Just saw this on the web - a basenji found in El Cajon, CA… You may want to check it out... It may sound far but there are pets that have been known to travel really far distances... Good luck...

Thank you, I sent this info to the group that deals with b's in Ca.
Also, sent it to the higher ups with BRAT.
I am sure they will do what is needed for this basenji.
THANK YOU So very much for this info. -
hey guys….sorry i have not updated....still no word! we have heard that he may have been being walked by an older man in the park near where he was lost. but we still dont have him back. it'll be almost 2 months! i'm still praying and i know he'll be home safe (hopefully sooner not later!!)!!
