Description

1000.00 Reward for Otis's safe return. No questions asked. We just want him . He is so dearly missed 5/14, week 3 and Otis is still not . Continued thanks to everyone for helping with leads and keeping your eyes and ears open. I have a lot of support, kind messages, and words of encouragement. I very much appreciate it. I am continuing to hang flyers, talk with people and follow up on leads, etc.. Getting him is going to take someone who sees Otis out and about or in the neighbor's yard. Someone out there knows something This woman does not intend to give him back. If she did, she would have called me weeks ago or walked up to my door with him. He was picked up on 4/22 by and an older woman in a silver car on Miller Bayou Drive in Port Richey. I do not have a better description of the woman or the vehicle. I wish I did. Otis was wearing his green collar (red button/clip) as well as his silver paw identification tag with his name, address, and phone number. Otis is a neutered male, black in color with some grey/silver, weight is 20 lbs. He has one ear that stands straight up and one that is flopped (ear surgery) He has a regular tale, not bobbed. He was adopted as a Scottish Terrier (not pure a bred) but really looks like Schnauzer. Otis is a senior, 11 years old and he is prone to ear infections. When he has an ear infection, he tends to scratch his ear and squeak, he sounds almost like a squeaky toy. He loves to ride on the console of cars, next to the driver. Otis loves people and will stand on his hind legs to greet you. He will also talk..sounds like almost a growl but it is a greeting. He gets uber excited when you pull out the leash and will put his head down when you are going to leash him. Otis tends to howl if left alone, its a big howl for a smaller guy.

Message from Owner

We are desperately trying to locate Otis. We have checked all his favorite spots and parks we frequent. He is super friendly and loves people. Someone must have picked him up, he has just vanished. Please help.

Check local Humane Society, county shelters and local rescues. Also post on Pawboost .com, nextdoor .com and the vets .com plus petco lost and found onlinr. See if there is a Facebook page "lost and found pets of (your county and surrounding counties)... check Humane Society and local animal shelter daily, they usually only give 3 days before adopting out. Post flyers locally and on doors of local businesses who will allow.. Make a sign with photo and place in your yard or apt_condo window if allowed. The more people who see the better. Check local rescues too. Contact your microchip company and flag the chips as lost pets and make sure all your contact info is updated. See if your neighbors have security video with your pet leaving or being picked up. If you adopted and don't know if microchipped (most are) contact the rescue, shelter, etc and get the microchip info to contact and update. https://www.preventivevet.com/dogs/how-to-update-your-pets-microchip https://www.petco.com/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/seasonal-topics/Tips-to-Find-Lost-Pets.html
