Mr. Kitty is an indoor only, three year old, neutered, grey tabby DSH. He is not wearing a collar, and he is not microchipped.
A window got left open by mistake, and Mr. Kitty could not be found anywhere in the house. I recommended looking both throughout the house and outside. We scheduled a time to do a search.
I got a call early the next morning that Mr. Kitty had returned!

"Pepper", Australian Cattle Dog mix, Black, Pacifica - Found
Pepper is a neutered, two year old, black, Australian Cattle Dog mix. He is wearing an orange collar with no tags, but he is microchipped.
There were sightings of Pepper back in Pacific and on Skyline Drive, near where he was lost, but there had not been sightings for a couple of days. We decided to start the search from there.
On my way to meet Pepper's person, I passed what appeared to be a medium size black body on one of the freeway ramps from Northbound 280 to Southbound 1. I was unclear exactly what I saw, and due to the location, I was unable to stop or turn around. I continued on my way to meet Pepper's person, and I told her about the sighting when I arrived.
We made our way back to the ramp, and she confirmed by Pepper's collar that the body was Pepper. She had a small car, so we were able to pull aside into a small area and park. I went back to the spot and pulled the body off to the side as I dodged traffic coming around the ramp.
Pepper's person could not back up to the body, so she drove around again and came up to the ramp and pulled off sooner to where I had the body. We quickly put the body into the back of her small station wagon and drove off, back to Pacifica to where my van was parked.
Due to the condition of body, it appeared Pepper had only been deceased for a few hours.

"Casey", Boxer, Fawn, San Bruno - FOUND!
On August 3, 2011, I received the following text message from Casey's person:
"Wonderful news! We found Casey this morning in South San Francisco thanks to calls from folks who saw the posters. It was Georgia's scent that she came to immediately and mama Lisa's voice. Thanks for all your help!"
Search details:
Casey is a seven year old, female fawn boxer with natural ears and natural tail. She is not wearing a collar, but she is microchipped. Casey is very shy of people, and escaped from her yard when the regular gardener left the side gate open when he went back to his vehicle.
There were no confirmed sightings of Casey, so we started from her home. For the next two days we followed the track through San Bruno, South San Francisco, Daly City, Pacifica and San Francisco. The search was stopped in San Francisco late one afternoon as we ran out of daylight in the Mission District. We were so do another search when Casey was found that day!

"Pumpkin", White with Orange Patches, DSH, Fairfax
Pumpkin is a indoor/outdoor, female, adult orange and white DSH. She is wearing a purple collar with a bell and ID tags, and she is microchipped.
There was a sighting of Pumpkin a couple of days after she was last seen by her person. A neighbor across the street saw Pumpkin in his yard.
We started the search there and found her track leading quickly away from the unfenced and hillside yard. It did appear she was chased from that yard because the track when into some very steep and wooded hills and canyons. It then went down a hillside and then out onto paved roads.
We continued the search for several hours when her person stopped the search and said she would keep looking for Pumpkin.

"Myla", Pug, Fawn, Oakland
Still missing as of August 24, 2011
Myla is a one year old, female, spayed, fawn Pug. She is not wearing a collar and is not microchipped. She was recently adopted from a shelter by Pug rescue and was staying at a foster home when she got out of a yard with a gate left open by accident.
There were a couple of sightings of Myla for a couple of days after she went missing. We started the search from the last location. We followed the track for four hours when the foster coordinator, who was walking with us, called off the search. She said the group would continue to look for Myla.

"Bear", English Bulldog, Red Brindle, Pacifica - Found
Bear is a one year old, dark brindle English Bulldog.
I got a call from his people while they were out of the country. Both English Bulldogs were in the yard, but Bear was missing. It was automatically assumed that Bear was stolen out of the yard, and the search went far and wide looking from him, while they were still on vacation. There were no sightings or calls.
After his people returned home from vacation about two weeks later, Bear was found deceased in the cover and gated pool in the backyard. I was told that the caretaker looked in the pool and they looked in the pool when they returned, but he was not found for about 48 hours later when they uncovered the pool to take a swim.
