"Daisy", Terrier Mix, Black, San Francisco - Found!

Found After Missing for Six Weeks!

____________________________________________________________________

Daisy is a nine year old, 18 pound black terrier mix. When she went missing she was wearing a pink nylon harness and a collar with ID tags. She is also microchipped. Daisy is very shy of stranger. 

Daisy got lost when she was visiting Fort Funston dog park with her person. While on the walk her person had an accident and needed to be taken to the local hospital. During the chaos of the ambulance arriving, Daisy got scared and went back to the car, where she was seen sitting on the hood of the car and underneath. This person attempted to catch Daisy, but, again, Daisy got scared and ran off. 

After getting out of the hospital, Daisy's person came back to the area to look for Daisy, but could not find her. 

Unfortunately, I was not contacted until Daisy was missing for two weeks. It was believed by everybody that Daisy was still hiding somewhere in the large park, but Dino immediately found the track leading away from the park and into Daly City. 

Over the next few weeks, we came out six different times and followed Daisy's track down the Peninsula and into Foster City, where we spent two separate days, as Daisy walked around and around this isolated city with only a couple of ways in and out and surrounded by water. 

On July 1, within a week of the last search, I received a text message that Daisy had been found all the way back in the area of Fort Funston by a rock climber. I was told she was still wearing her collar and tags and harness. She was described as very thin and needing rest and food and medication.

"Jenna," Australian Kelpie, Black/White/Brown, Fulton/Santa Rosa, CA - Found!

Jenna is an eight year old, 45 pound Kelpie mix. When she went missing she was wearing a red collar without any tags and she was microchipped. 

She was last seen in her yard by her person. Her person went into the house for a few minutes, and when she came out, Jenna was gone.

Jenna was missing for almost one week when we were called out. 

There was a sighting of Jenna later that afternoon about a half mile from her home. We started there and Dino found her scent leading away.

While we were following the track, Jenna's people received a phone call from a person who had seen their flyer that day. This person said that he saw a dog matching Jenna's description a couple of days earlier in front of a house. At first, he thought the dog belonged to that house, but when he saw the flyer, he decided to call. We went to that house, and there was Jenna! They said they had found her out in front of their house, and almost got hit by a car. They said they didn't want to contact animal control because they thought they would put the dog to sleep right away.  Jenna did not have any tags on, and they did not know about microchips. 

Lucky dog!

There were no sightings of Charlie after he went missing. 

He was last seen with his family in the backyard. A family member went from the backyard to the front yard through the gate, and it is believed that is how Charlie got out, but no one saw him leave.

They believed that Charlie had been picked up by a person in the neighborhood, but the track clearly indicated that Charlie walked away.

"Cosmo," Boston Terrier, Black and White, Redwood City

Still Missing as of November 2, 2014

Cosmo is a five year old black and white, 22 pound, Boston Terrier. When she went missing from her backyard, she was wearing a collar with ID tags and she was microchipped. She accidentally got out from an open gate in the middle of the night.

Cosmo was missing for over a week before I was called. There were no sightings of Cosmo after she went missing.

Her people were convinced that she had been picked up and carried away in a car since there were no sightings, but the track clearly indicated after two days that Cosmo had walked around the area and walked out of the large isolated neighborhood.
