Oh no! I just realized where your dog is lost. This is a HORRIFICALLY DANGEROUS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HER TO BE LOST IN. YOU HAVE GOT TO FIND HER IMMEDIATELY! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH There are dog thieves over there that will her and do who knows what. There are druggies that will grab her. Some of the worst homeless with addiction behavior that have no business managing anything living are over there. You have got to find her right away! This poor baby. Please listen to me Dusty is a 17-year rescue Advocate and spent weeks on the streets over there looking for a dog named Tinkerbell. She was filming while she was driving around looking for Tinkerbell for weeks with the owners. The stuff that she was seeing at night while looking for the dog was really bad. Your dog is out potentially in that you've got to get her back. Someone in your neighborhood could have seen her walking and taking her in and kept her. They will not give her back without a reward. If they were going to they would have already been posting. Hopefully somehow Animal Control was coming through and picked her up but there's a very slim chance of that. These different types of people I've been referring to are pretty quick at grabbing dogs. Please put a cash amount on your posts don't worry about posting on social media pages get Flyers up right away. I would have like 80 of them you want the reward amount at the top your phone number and the picture of your dog. You need to do a crisis marketing flyer which is very simple it's about the money with a picture of the dog so that people on the streets will turn on each other for the reward and call and let you know who has your dog. Please hurry.

Valerie Rotolone With it being 110 plus degrees in Arizona this month almost every lost dog is a heat exhaustion/death risk. Not to mention this dog is medically fragile and needs to be found very quickly. Volunteers simply telling owners to "contact XYZ" is not a solution in this heat. Because time is absolutely of the essence to find the pet. 📍Dogs that are runners/skittish can overheat very quickly and go into cardiac arrest. 📍Dogs that are small- pick up heat from the ground and can overheat and expire quickly. Senior dogs, medically fragile dogs, French bulldogs, bulldogs, pocket bullies, pugs and greyhounds can be drop dead in as little as 15 minutes with this heat. On top of that we have the normal risk factors like: 📍 Cars 📍 Pet being found and kept 📍 Coyotes Owners have NO time to waste. They can't waste time on wrong methods or less effective methods in the beginning. It can mean the dog's life!! The general Lost Pet info that says: 📍Update the microchip, 📍Contact the veterinarian, 📍Run to the shelter Are NOT helpful in urgent cases. These things definitely cause a time delay when owners should be boots on the ground. Signing up with a trapping organization comes with a time delay as well. They do not simply call the organization and a rescue team shows up in 5 minutes to help. That's not how it works! The owners have to read through the info on the website which takes an average of 15 to 20 minutes. Then they have to fill out the information, that's another 15 to 20 minutes. On average (what I've been told by other owners) is it takes an hour or two for the volunteer to reach out. Some waited 2-3 days to be contacted only to find out their application never went through. I'm also told by owners in lower income neighborhoods when they reached out they were told they could only help with flyers. So why would they lose 3 hours to sign up for help when they could have been out during those 3 hours putting flyers up already? For those of you that don't know what to tell owners putting Contact XYZ rescue organization seems like a good solution for YOU to be helpful, But if you haven't investigated what that process actually is... you could be sending the owner into a time delay that costs the owner their dog, or the dog its life. I am not saying discourage them from signing up. If they need the help and those resources apply to their case then have them sign up. I want to make that very clear. But if you want to be helpful, what actually helps is to give them the strongest tactics that apply to their situation, that they can start doing NOW! I have also noticed when people sign up, some think they can relax a bit because a professional rescue team is going to show up and handle it. That's not how it works. I have also noticed many times an owner posts their pet is missing, people start responding and trying to help. Then the owner posts that they have signed up with an organization and starts sharing their flyers. The assistance from the general community drops off. Don't chase and Do not approach are posted for a reason because people have chased dogs into the street to be hit. And it's very traumatic. However when people read Don't approach! Don't chase! they figure, okay they have professionals on the job now they don't need me. I have things to do and it's too hot outside anyways. Then who's actually looking for the dog? Likely one or two people from whichever organization the owner signed up with. Remember they are volunteers. They have families. And they have multiple cases, not just one. What saves time and lives is for YOU to give them methods that work BEST first! Not last. Which is a lot of what I see going on. Then they can sign up after they get a post up on next door, neighbors by ring, and at least some initial flyers going.
