Message from Owner

Sweet Lily is our senior and harmless baby. In the early morning hours of August 10th, she was let out as usual on her backyard lead. Moments later, she was gone with her collar snapped, for which she wouldn’t have the strength to break herself. After searching the immediate neighborhood, while still dark out, she was not found. She is a tiny, friendly old gal. She neither hears nor sees very well at her age. She is completely harmless and has had all her teeth removed due to previous health complications, so she may not hear you if called, but cannot bite. Her sweet little tongue may repeatedly lick outside her mouth, especially when anxious or hungry. We are so worried some predator may have taken care…but we hope her 8lb self may have been too heavy to carry far from home. Please help Lily find her way back to us. Please.

So sorry. Notify non-emergency police, animal control and the postal carriers in the area lost. Check with neighbors or businesses nearby that may have cameras. Put a neon sign in your yard. Fill out lost reports with both Lost Dogs/Cats Illinois website www.petfbi.org and Pawboost website (choose not to pay for ads and it’s free!) They will generate a flyer for you to print. Post in lost animal sites and community sites on FB. Put up flyers at nearby stores/gas stations, pet stores, libraries, and give some to pizza delivery places to put on their boxes. Put the outside flyers in a gallon sized freezer bag to protect from the elements. You can also try bus companies to put a flyer on their buses. Let the kids in the area know as they notice everything when not on their phones. Put food and water out and something with your scent. Check in nearby garages, sheds, window wells, ponds, look under decks. Also check with shelters in person or call as many as you can and give them a flyer. If the animal is chipped notify the company and make sure your contact info is correct. Also let vet and groomers in the area know. Can see if anyone has a drone to help search especially if woods nearby. Please also be aware of scammers. Especially if you are giving a reward. Do not give them a code or anything they ask. Tell them you will give them the reward at the police station for both of your safety. 🙏🏻 for a reunion soon! Don’t give up hope!

🙏❤️If lost close to home ...leave a door slightly open especially at night .... worked for our pet. Found them sleeping on the couch the next morning . Pets that are lost and scared most often will hide in underbrush tickets or shrubs close to home and feel safe to come out at night to find their way home
