Katelyn Marie I was involved in an eviction proceeding and returned to my apartment to find that the locks had been changed. The most disturbing part is that my dog was inside my apartment when I was locked out. She was safe inside and could not have simply wandered away. I left for a few hours to pick up uniform for my new job and look for a hotel to stay at because I knew I had to leave. It was 101 degrees and I did not want my dog in the car in that type of heat so | left her in the apartment until I came back. After discovering that she was missing, I contacted Animal Services & reached out to the leasing office. I was told by Gabriel that the leasing office reported the manager Joelle Gaeta and a sheriff had removed my dog from my apartment and taken her to the leasing office. I was then told that the leasing office claimed they returned her to my apartment before they closed and left the door unlocked. That account does not match what I personally found! I arrived at the apartment approximately 30 minutes after the leasing office closed. The apartment was locked due to them changing the locks and my dog was nowhere inside. I know this because I knocked on the door and I did not hear her bark or run to the door. I immediately began contacting Animal Services, but they stated they did not have any record of her. Animals services contacted law enforcement, and I contacted the shelter as well. I physically went to the shelter myself to look for her. She was not there. At this time, I still do not know where my dog is.

This is horrible. I’m so sorry! These suggestions may help. The sign outside your place may not in this case, but the chip company and others may be of some help. Praying for your pup. Lost tips Apologies for any duplications of good tips that you may have already received. Hoping something on this list can help you. Praying a kind neighbor has your pet and will be back with you quickly. *!*!*! First-Quickly- *****Post a large lost dog/cat sign (and photo if handy/don’t wait if you don’t have one-at least get the sign up) in your own yard (OR WHERE LOST FROM). Some people have written on a large cardboard box and put that in their front yard. Finders often drive/walk with the pet, looking for the pet’s owners/home. And this way, more people associate you with your pet. Especially when it’s usually inside or not from that area. Join all local Facebook groups for your area. A finder may be posting on one that you aren’t on. If you have your cell listed, and/have offered a reward anywhere, be very careful of people not true/just for the reward-DO NOT GIVE ANYONE figures that they ask for (sent to your phone) when they say they want to verify it’s you. This is how they reset your information (the old reset your security info). *****A new one I just heard about-evil called impersonating a local animal hospital saying the pup was hit by a car and needed surgery-needed money. ****If there’s a chip, make sure your info is up to date and notify the chip company that he/she is missing. Put some of your (worn) clothes near your door-I’ve recently been told that this only works when the pet is within a few houses (distance-wise) and is more calm than frightened. Ask neighbors about cameras. Please be aware NOT IMMEDIATELY TRUST messages with someone claiming to have your pet. And be cautious of people who will comment here and suggest you contact a group that just helped them get their (often times “Luna”) home. Especially when posted by anonymous members. If someone says they sent you a link for something (that you’d have to click on!) in a message, I, personally would not trust it. They can post a screenshot or other helpful info right on your page. *****NOTE!-Be aware of suggested sites like that are only trying to take advantage of people who are anxious to get their pet safely home. IF NOT LEGIT, THEY WILL ASK FOR CODES. THEY WILL ASK FOR MONEY. Some sky services are legit. Some not. Be cautious. ALSO- they will SAY they have your pup but will not give any proof-they want money first. Suggestions: When posting, mention cross streets, city and state as well if posting to a national database, and date/time of when missing. Nextdoor (.com) is a very helpful neighborhood site. Ring (Neighbor) app-post there. Check Craigs (list) constantly in all surrounding areas. Check lost and found and classified sections. EVEN IF NOT CHIPPED-Contact emergency vets in case someone brought him/her in. (Sometimes it’s done because it’s an after-hours place to check for a chip). Not everyone will have the found dog checked for a chip, unfortunately. Air tags sometimes get removed and tossed. Call your local animal services to report him/her as missing. Knocking door to door. Many times the pet is with a neighbor who is trying to find its home. (Listen for their bark too!) Going to the local shelters. Often times calling hasn’t worked-the pup is there but the shelter is so busy, they don’t realize-go and look. ***Also***many (because of space) have a limited number of days that they hold before adopting out. (or worse) And then it’s over. You cannot get your pup back. No personal adopter/new owner info is given to you. Horrible when this happens. If lost during an outing, in the future, it is best to use a comfortable harness, with collar and tag, and leash that you can comfortably keep a good grip on/or secure to you. An unrestrained dog can so easily get startled and take off-it happens very often. And, at a minimum, attach their leash to a seatbelt (preferably an unused one) in the event of an accident, they cannot dart out. It happens so very often. Send/leave fliers at area vets and pet supply stores that can check for chips. Hang on your mailbox if possible. Give one to your mail carrier. Questions asking if found yet-most are genuine, some just ask to be able to engage with you, to gain a level of trust. Just be aware. Comments saying to message them for tips-they can easily post them here like the rest of us do/don’t trust that. Hoping your baby is safely back home with you quickly. Also—-Please post an update (at the top of your original post (vs, or in addition to in the comments) when you have good news to share. 😊😊Keeps us from sharing inaccurate information. Not everyone will know to read the comments for the good news. 😊😊 😊Three dots on top right of your post-gives you edit options. Thank you! Courtesy of Salvaged Strays
