She was lost in a big wooded area. Doubt stolen. They need to walk through those woods to find her.

MISSING DOGS: PLEASE DO NOT WAIT to see if you dog is going to come back. Take immediate action to try to locate. Notify dispatch, animal control, humane society, vets, & post lost flyers in the area. -Also it's IMPORTANT to leave your worn unwashed clothing (used pillow case-socks, sweatshirts) & something of the dog's (blanket, pillow,bedding etc) on your porch with smelly food. You can boil hotdogs in crockpot (add liquid smoke to enhance) & leave plugged in w/lid off so smell will travel. -WHEN SEARCHING-Take smelly food & leash to use as slip lead every time. -DO NOT CALL OR YELL for your dog by name -he may think he's in trouble & run off. Use nicknames that you use while playing-baby, good boy, or key words like-go for a ride, treat etc. Squeaky toys. -IF SEEN-DO NOT CHASE you will push him out of the area or into traffic! -DO NOT SEARCH ON QUADS-you will push the dog out of the area. -IF YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC FENCE- Turn it off so your dog can cross over to get back in. REWARDS ARE NOT recommended as people will not call in sightings thinking they can get your dog for the reward. This then has strangers chasing your dog putting them in danger of pushing it out of the area or into traffic! -IF SEEN-drive past & get ahead of your dog -pull off road & get out & drop to the ground -don’t make eye contact & toss treats in his direction-talking up upbeat voice & nummy noises to try to lure in with smelly food-microwaved hot dogs cut up small, chicken nuggets, rotisserie chicken-cheeseburgers etc . -If he runs-DO NOT CHASE-leave food on the ground to create a feeding station to keep him in the area & get back in car. SIBLING DOG(S): -If you have a sibling dog or dog he plays with on a regular basis-you can walk the dog around the area the dog was last seen & let them urinate in that area & then lead directly back to your house or a trap that has been set. Do not let it randomly walk around. Your lost dog can pick up the scent & follow it home. -IF SEEN-sit on the ground & play with your other dog -get it to bark, yip & play. It will recognize that dog before it does you. -If the dog is close-grill bacon on your property or at the area of a recent sighting. If you have-get your other dog to keep barking to draw home. If it is not raining or snowing- you can sprinkle flour near your porch or gate to check for paw prints. LOST FLYERS- Get lost flyers printed using bright NEON colored paper (green-orange-pink) so they stand out-posted in the area at every intersection (using duct tape on metal poles) & every other telephone pole (staple 4 corners) immediately so you can receive calls of sightings or in the event someone found -they will know who to contact. Use gal sized zip lock bags with zipper part at the bottom to protect from wind/rain. Post at eye level -angled so approaching cars can see. Get some flyers made 4 to a sheet so you can cut & pass out to everyone you see. -SURVIVAL MODE- after 24-48 hours on the run, a dog will go into survival mode & they won’t even recognize their owners. Every person including an owner will be considered a threat & will make them bolt. A sibling dog will be recognized before an owner. A trap maybe your best chance of capturing if that occurs. DRONE-If using a drone operator be sure it’s one with trapping experience or one that works directly with a rescue group that traps. Drones have been extremely helpful in finding dogs stuck in places that would not be possible otherwise but you need that back up expertise in getting your dog trapped or recovered Prayers for a fast and safe return!🙏🐶🙏🐶🙏
