• You need to contact all veterinary and shelters and rescues. That way if she turns up, someone will know. Also, churches and day care places. Children may spot her faster than adults so having them look helps… say if a neighbor found and decided to keep her.


  • We called all vets around us, shelters as well, churches and day care is great idea! Thank you!!!

    I was just reading a magazine my vet's office distributes and there was an article from a DVM who suggested all the above alone with "never give up", and surfing the web for lost pet websites, local people (trainers maybe? or rescues/shelters?) that will post a picture of her on their websites, posting pics-grocery stores, and walking the neighbor hood as many dogs are found close to home, Local media, flyers everywhere and post 'found is critical'! Gosh, don't give up, and knock on those doors if you feel someone has her! Was she chipped and had your updated info?
