Please help us. Our dog got out yesterday when we had some repair work done on our garage. We can't find him anywhere. My little girl thinks he is hiding and I am just playing with her. She don't understand at her age. Anyway he is tan and a Chihuahua. He looks like the Taco Bell dog. His name is Rowdy. He is a little over a year old. Please contact if you have any info on him.
Thank You

Hi, we just lost our dog too. We live in Tuscumbia near Deshler and our boxer has run off. He does not have his collar on, it has his tags on it and has broken off. He has alot of white and has patches of light and dark brown. He has brown eyes and the whites are always red. He answers to the name Jake. If anyone sees him please contact. He is a friendly boy.
I wish you all luck finding your pups. Make sure you contact the animal shelter's to see if anything comes through there. I've had my pit puppy stolen from my home, & went to all shelters, left my info., put an ad in the paper, but he was never returned. I even went to a psychic, but the person said they can't get involved with cases as such. I had a good idea who took my baby, but wanted to make sure this crazy nutcase didn't kill it.

Wow this is extreme, if you need to have a child PM me I'll give ya one, Gee Wis. Sounds like you would be a good mom.


NO Thanks. My pit's are my kids. Yes you're right, I'm very protective of them, & as you have heard there is many cruel people in this world that enjoy abusing, torturing, & killing dogs.

With pit's you have to worry about loser's hurting them, fighting them, ect. So yes, I admit it, I have a heart. I love & care for mine, & others. Personally, if someone doesn't want to care for or worry about the well being of their dogs/kids, etc., they don't need them.
what a precious baby!...do not give up HOPE..someone returned my indoor cat, after being out for several months..the lady remembered my long-ago paper ad......and, post every day if you need to, 'we' understand!!

jenna, do you have a pic of your poochie?

i am praying for your families, and that God has your babies surrounded with angels, till He shows them the way home again..

i am also praying for you, a2d, that you could know such a love in your heart..for a family pet, no better love on earth..

Wow this is extreme[QUOTE]...the loss of a pet..yes it is, a2d, yes it is..
Not long ago, I had dog that got loose and went out to 'explore', only to get lost. He was gone for over 10 days. I know how you feel.

I would recommend the following, in addition to the paper ad (hopefully in the TD AND the CourierJournal), flyers, and door-to-door checks you've done:

--Go to your City Hall, and find out where your meter readers (electricity, gas, and water) report to work. Post a flyer there, and highlight or WRITE IN BIG LETTERS your street name and neighborhood so that it will get the attention of those who work in your specific area. I would also suggest that you speak with an office worker there and make copies of your flyer along with a hand-written note and leave a copy of each for all of those readers who work in your neighborhood. In my case, I actually arranged to be there at the beginning of a shift and spoke with a few.

--Contact the city's street and sanitation departments and do the same. Try to get a flyer and note to the people on the crew(s) that regularly work in your neighborhood.

--Be sure to do the same for your mail carrier if you haven't already.

--I actually made a "Wanted" ad, made a few copies, and took it to my local police station. My dog's mug under the huge heading of "WANTED" got their attention because they thought it was so funny. They posted one on their bulletin board in the main office area and told me they'd get the copies to those who patrolled my area the most.

Basically, be sure you get the word out directly to those people who travel down your street and through your neighborhood regularly, if not daily. I'm sure you've posted flyers on sign posts and utility poles in the area, but that might not be enough to get their attention. Try your best to contact them as directly as possible. Also, be sure to take flyers to any businesses around your neighborhood, the gas stations, and have them posted in the teachers' lounge at any nearby schools.

By the way, in my case it was one of those "WANTED" flyers that led to a 'sighting' of my lost dog, followed by a call to me. I went to where he was last seen and found him within a couple of blocks from there - hungry, thirsty, tired, and really really happy to see his best 2-legged friend! Smiler

Keep in mind that at this point, there's always a good chance that someone might have taken such a cute thing into their own home. I mention that because it's a better situation than those "worse case scenarios" that can cross your mind when you're worried. And while it seems logical that they would check the Lost & Found section of the paper, not everyone subscribes and not everyone thinks to do that - believe it or not. So by getting the word out to those who frequent your neighborhood, you might find someone who has seen him in another nearby location since then.

I hope you find your pup soon. I'm sure he misses you as much as you miss him.

I'm right there with you Gerry. My baby is my pit too and I fear every day that someone will steal her and try to use her for fighting. Its so sad, but you hear about that breed and others like them getting stolen all the time and you know why they are getting stolen! I built a privacy fence when we moved to our new house. So people know I have a dog if they happen to hear her bark, but unless the know us, they dont know what kind she is and hopefully that would cut down on the risk of that happening. Frowner
