I'm so sorry, we came close to getting him. I was hoping you had gotten him back. I was alerted by friends who were trying to get help for him because it was so hot and he was really frightened. They found him on Driftwood in Palm Springs. When I arrived with water and sandwich meat, I was able to slowly approach and put down a large bowl of water and started tossing him small pieces of sandwich meat and managed to lure him to the water. I sat on the grass a little way away and continued to throw small pieces of meat to him while my friends began calling around to try to get help for him. He ate and drank a cosiderable amount of the water, then layed on on the grass nearby. Animal Control had closed an hour earlier and the police department was too busy to respond right away. I took a picture to post in hopes of alerting his owners. Unfortunately some nearby neighbors came outside and started their car, which spooked him and he ran off about 30 minutes before the officer arrived. The officer and my friends each drove around the area but did not find him again. I left the bowl of water on the lawn in case he returned and was hoping you would be able to locate him in the general area. It definitely was Sparky. That face and those eyes are unforgettable. I have gone back to that location a couple times looking for him and have driven through Deep Well in general searching.. Prayers that you are able to find him soon.

🐕Sorry to hear that your pet is lost. Here's a few tips to double check: 🐾Notify as lost on 24PetConnect, the shelters use this website & Petcolovelost + search on both & use Petcolovelost image recognition search tool plus use the Radius search (200 miles to cover all possible shelters). If microchipped notify the Co as lost and update your info. Post on Nextdoor and Ring apps, Pawboost, Petfbi and Lostmydoggie. Craigslist, Facebook groups for your city and surrounding areas plus the lost and found groups for those areas too. Every place you post, also search for found animal posts.🔸Go to all shelters. ️Shelters that cover your county & your city. Do NOT breed search. Do NOT search male or female. Need to search on 24PetConnect a far search radius to cover all the shelters. Check ISO. Ask neighbors if they have security cameras that may have picked up activity. Ask at homeless areas. Signs up bc not everyone goes online. A reward may help. Flyers w neighbors, veterinary clinics & at pet stores. I hope your pet returns home soon! 🐾
