My dog ran away :-(

[skybytch 259]

This sucks.

I let my dog out this morning, went to the bathroom myself and when I came out she was gone. Nowhere to be found.

I've been calling her name for 30 minutes.

I've walked up and down the street calling her name.

I've driven slowly around the neighborhood looking for her.

I don't know what else to do.

[skymama 35]

Aw, man! I hope you find her, she's such a sweetie. Did she have a collar and tags on?

Sorry to hear this...

have you tried the local dog warden/ sanctuary - she may have been picked up?


Good luck - I know I'd be lost without my pair

Collar and closing pin necklace... I hadn't gotten a tag with our new address yet.

Damn it's hard to type through tears.

Hugs, hon! Hope she comes home soon.

Are you friendly enough with your neighbors that they would recognize that she belongs to you if they see her? I think I would grab her picture and start knocking on doors to get the word out that she's missing.

some well-meaning person may have thought she was lost and picked her up. Call ALL your local animal shelters and give them her description.

That sucks
I'll say a prayer for her safe return.

I lost a dog in the woods one time when she saw a deer and took off running. It took me 18 hours to find her. I didn't spend all 18 hours in the woods, only about 6. I then took my T-shirt and left it in the woods and went home to get some sleep. Came back in the morning and there she was ... right at the T-shirt. Hope you find her. Keep the faith.

[mr2mk1g 10]

She's probably off on a jolly of her own somewhere and will turn up again all by herself thinking she's done something great.

Don't lose heart.

[skybytch 259]

Thanks guys... your vibes worked, she's home.

I was on the phone with the humane society, left the front door open "just in case" and she walked right in.

I'm getting a tag for her TODAY.

She's home, so why am I still crying?

Cuz she's your buddy. And she scared you.

So glad she's home, bytch. Get her a tag and a bone and tell her to cut the shit.

I'm so glad she is home. And tags work. Our dog was outside (fenced yard) and we didn't even know she was gone until someone called and said they had our dog. She had broken the lattice out of the bottom of the deck and went for a strole around the neighborhood. We were so grateful for the good neighbor that picked her up and thought to look for a tag.

Along the same lines, has anyone here ever had their dog/cat "chipped"? Ya know, the little microchip they put in subdermally that has the dog's (and your) ID info on it? How much does it cost? The main value I could see over just a regular license/ID tag is that if somebody nabbed your dog intentionally, then down the road a vet could find the chip and get your dog back to you...

Microchipping is a very very good idea....it varies by the area as to what they charge, you can go to the Vet or you can go to the nearest shelter and have it done...I HIGHLY recommend doing this.

It does cost $15 to register it with the service, but working at a shelter, the 8 months i was there....we had 6 dogs returned to there owners.... and that was the ones that got missed by the pound....They had a great return rate themselves....

I think i paid $20 for each dog to be chipped plus the cost of registering, Some shelter will chip for nominal fee, but you still pay the reg fees, it is worth the piece of mind, tags are great, but collars fall off...
As for the "stolen dog" absolutly!!!!! it is true proof of ownership
for more information go to

or

Both chips are fantastic, and reliable...or check with your vet or shelter

Anywhere between 1 and 2 jumps. ;-)
My ex chipped her dog after she'd gotten away and was gone for about three days, then one morning showed up at my front door at 5AM. The shelter in Boulder would chip your pooch for $37.50, but I've heard of it being done for around $20. I think shelters tend to be less expensive than vets. Either way, it's really inexpensive when you consider the alternative loss.

Glad Molly found her way home!

Glad she's home safe!!!

Please call your local vet, PetSmart, or shelter TODAY, and get Molly a microchip. They're about $40, including registration with PetTrac, which is the database that maintains all the animal and owner info. Most shelters have scanners for the AVID chips. Call your local shelters and ask to make sure. If they don't have the scanners, talk to your local vet who is injecting the microchip. The vet can arrange with AVID for the shelter to receive a free scanner.

The needle they use to inject the chip looks HUGE, but it really isn't bad. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. My cat got chipped when he was six weeks old, and he didn't make a sound! Course, afterwards, he turned around and hissed at the vet, but its so worth it! Its nice to know that your furry friends have ID even if they lose their collar.

Congrats on finding your best friend. Why are you crying? For the same reason I am joy!!!!!
There was a recent story on the national news (at least two weeks ago) about a family that had lost their cat moved cross country and found their cat years later because of the micro chip.

BTW on the 4 of july don't leave your dog "home alone" they have been known to get spooked enough due to the noise outside and do what ever it takes to get out of the house and escape the madness.

Keith my dear... that is a VERY GOOD answer...



Lisa glad your puppy came home so quickly... losing your best friend like that is hard.. they become such a big part of your life so quickly. Now you also have to make the area you let the little darlin out into.. more secure...uh.. and you might give a thought to the water I saw in one of your pictures.
