Description

White and cream chihuahua mix who is tall but slender with rather long legs. She weighs about 15 lbs and has brownish eyes. She is very timid and will run if chased. An extremely fast runner. She took off with her Lavender/purple leash and collar. She is very special to us for various reasons and we are offering a $200 reward for returning her to us or for information that brings her home to us.

Message from Owner

She is only 7/8 months old and has very little knowledge of the outside world with all the sounds, noises etc and I imagine her cowering silently somewhere. I'm afraid that will make her hard to find. I know she's terrified. I will do anything to find her. I'm open to rewards if that will work. She's just a baby. I was just about to make appointment the get her spayed and microchips. She was last seen running north on Cortez from Beach Blvd

Gorgeous little dog praying you find your beautiful fur baby safely and soon . I’m praying somebody just has her keeping her safe and hopefully you can be reunited with her if that’s the case. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Very encouraging. Wonderful ending. I went yesterday to check out possible hiding places, called her name as well. Have not rung any doorbells yet. Many of the homes don't look welcoming eg long driveways, hidden from the road, lots of dense brush. I am also getting some signs to put at road junctions. Must be on private property with owners permission.

Akua Owusu it's true it's great exercise, & you get to know a little more about the neighborhood you're in or even a neighborhood you're not familiar with. Just stay safe, stay cool, & always be aware of your surroundings. My daughter's cat Tuxedo, got lost at least 10 yrs ago. My neighbor picked up Tuxedo to go get him fixed at a neighborhood spay & neuter mobile clinic about 15 mins driving from our neighborhood. We put him in my carrier which had a flimsy door handle thing. When my neighbor took him to the mobile clinic, Tuxedo bolted out of the carrier. So he was unfamiliar with that neighborhood, which was kind of a warehouse area, but with residential also. Anyway I borrowed my neighbor's humane trap; & set it here & there in that area that he got lost in. & I went walking around there, & knocked on a few warehouse doors, ect. & asked around & left info. It took about 3/4 days, but I found him, one evening about 8:30pm/9; I drove over to an area which was across from where the mobile clinic was. It was a house with a lot of trees & shrubs, & not a residential house, but I think maybe a non-profit type building. It was pretty dark, so I was on my guard. I pull up into the driveway with my car's headlights on, & called out for Tux, & sure enough he came out from a shrub area, & went meow meow 🙏🏼 🐈 🏡 🕊

Wonderful! I have toyed with the idea of just walking around and knocking on doors. Ella did not get lost in my neighborhood. I was dropping her off at doggy daycare when she bolted, and I am not familiar with that area at all. And the possibilities seem endless eg do I turn left or right, go south or north, or how far up this road should I go. But I think I will use my gut and do what I can. At the very least, it is exercise! I appreciate the feedback!

Walk around the area(s) where she got lost as often as you can. Knock on doors & leave info about her, & your info as well. Ask anyone you can if they've seen her; police, maintenance people, neighbors, lawn people, store clerks ect. I've found many of my animal companions that way. My cat Waffle got lost 6/12/17, & then we found him 3 & 1/2 weeks later about 1/4 of a block from our condo on the beach. I found him because I had left some info with a valet service at a next-door hotel/resort on Hollywood Beach, FL. I went out walking one night to go look for Waffle, & decided to go by the valet area of the hotel. One valet who happened to be nearby the valet desk, overheard me asking about Waffle; I also had previously left info about him with the desk a few days before. So the valet young man came up to me & said "I've seen this cat", & he went & showed me where he had seen him, which was under the Hollywood Beach bridge; there was an open storage area with the door about a 1 & 1/2 feet open from the bottom. Waffle was hiding in there. I thought the stars fell from the sky when I heard his very faint meow, he doesn't meow loud, & then saw him.
