I know everyone is worried about Charlie..hoping for some good news soon!

 

[pjewel]

Too much time has gone by. I wonder if someone has taken him in.

 

[Kathie]

I was wondering that myself, Geri. It would be better than getting hit by a car or attacked by a predator. Hopefully, if that is the case, they will realize he has a home and will look for it.

 

[Flynn Gentry-Taylor]

I imagine they will have to go house by house or hand out flyers at the sub divisions..

 

[pjewel]

If they do FindToto, they call all the neighbors within a radius, depending upon which plan you choose. It gets the word out much faster.

 

[Flynn Gentry-Taylor]

Geri there is also Lost Pet USA | The Essential Tools to Reunite You With Your Pet. This is an in depth step by step procedure to find your lost pet and NO CHARGE. FindTOTO has a charge associated with it.
I am wondering if it would not be a good idea to have something on line here about these two avenues of locating lost pets? Maybe a special thread/forum for pet recovery?

 

[Becky Chittenden]

Although no new sightings, we can't give up hope. This lost dog is also on facebook and other places. Hope he's found quickly.

 

[Flynn Gentry-Taylor]

Is there any news on facebook Becky? Keep us posted if you read anything..please.

This is why I am one of those "mean people" on the forum who always points out that no matter how bad the dog looks they need to go and have it scanned and advertise they found a dog. Our dogs along with many drop coated dogs can look like hell after just a few hours on the street, often people judge the circumstance of the dog by appearance of the dog alone, this is just not fair. I hope they go door to door, often people think they are helping and just have no clue.

 

[pjewel]

I agree with you Robbie.

 

[Flynn Gentry-Taylor]

I am not sure if HRI is assisting in the search? If it is just a group of people, I worry things will be missed in their efforts.

HRI has been very involved in the search. The updates that are being posted are coming from HRI. I have been reading them on the HRI list.

Good! I am just surprised the little fellow has been at large so long. He must be with someone by this time...at least I hope so.. Still praying for a good outcome.

 

[Kathie]

Flynn, you'd be surprised at how easily these little guys can hide!

Robbie, I agree, it doesn't take them long to look a mess! We have always taken in a dog that looks to be missing. We were able to find one owner by calling the vet clinic where his rabies tag came from. He was a Bouvier and the vet knew immediately who he belonged to! The owners were frantic and rushed over to get him and offered us a reward which we declined. Just hoping that someone would do the same thing for us, if needed.

Yes, HRI is definitely involved and are posting updates which is what I have been putting in here. I didn't hear anything about yesterday so I guess he hasn't been found. Anyone who lives anywhere near Plant City is urged to come join the search if possible. They can use all the help they can get since it is a large area to canvas. Please continue your prayers - we're not giving up on Charlie!

Just read this on facebook on the Havanese Forum group:
"Charlie has been captured by his former foster and others who were out looking. They are on their way now to the ER to have him checked out. That's all I know. But PTL, he's been found!" Hope he is OK.

 

[davetgabby]

:whoo: hoping he's alright. Thanks Tere.

 

[Flynn Gentry-Taylor]

I think prayers do come true...have been praying for Charlie, as I know so many have...just let us hear he is okay..:whoo::clap2::bounce::cheer2::thumb:

 

[StarrLhasa]

I'll second that. Glad he has been found, hope he will be healthy.

 

[Flynn Gentry-Taylor]

Yes, I did notice he has been missing for at least a week and it said he needs medication, I sure hope he is okay...
