Lost White and Brindle Pit Bull

Did you contact ACCT ? 111 HUnting Park Ave ( I would go LOOK ) and PSPCA GOOD LUCK!!

oh goodness =( I will keep an eye out

Hope you find her! Cna you post a picture then we can facebook alert for her!

awww, what a cutie. i'll keep an eye out!

Just put her up on my page. Good luck Patty!!

Does she bite?

I am so sorry Patty. Edit your initial post and take your number off. Tell people to PM you. What a bunch of ba***rds.

My wife also received harassing phone calls when we lost our cat.
Sad.

Just makes me so mad. Terrible enough you have lost your doggie...now these scum have to harass you. Makes my blood boil.

Really sorry Patty. I will continue to keep my eyes open for her. I have sent an email to my friends in the neighborhood as well, asking that they keep their eyes open for her. Good luck. My heart breaks for you and the pup

Bump for Sasha!

:(

I can't believe that with all the sightings, no one has had luck catching up to her :( This really breaks my heart

bump

ugh, i really hope you find her. she looks so sweet.

Ugh that dog is too cute to be lost. Hope she resurfaces.

This one isn't as nicely formated as the lost cat post but it's got rescues all on one page. Fingers crossed.

-------
I'm really sorry to hear about your dog. I hope the information I compiled below will help you find him. I know how overwhelming finding your dog can be. You may or may not have done them already.

There is lots to do! There is no guarantee your animal will make it onto the same Internet sites you go to or that people will do anything other than post "found dog" instead of searching for your "lost dog" posting. It’s a tool - you have to use it.

Be aware it sometimes takes a month or two or three for your dog to show up online - so keep looking for longer than you'd think. Especially when it's getting cold out - they tend to pop up when it gets very cold - so still look and post then.

You're the person who wants them back the most and your perseverance is your biggest asset in getting your dog home again.

VERY IMPORTANT:

Keep an eye on this site on facebook - go to their photos page: It's the only place you will see the most in-danger animals at Animal Care and control of philadelphia, which is the high-kill shelter, and where strays are brought.

Animal care and Control (known as Philly Urgents Page): http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=196737460358855

Make sure you give them a lost/found poster. Make sure you give one to ACCT and to PAWS as well.

To do:
• Posters: Putting large colorful photo posters in nearby convenience stores, vet offices, dog parks, pet stores, telephone poles and posting in the local newspaper and online message boards might help her get home. Make sure your neighbors are aware of your lost pet. Put smaller version of the poster in their mailboxes -- as well as the corner stores if possible. It's supposed to be one of the best things to do.
• Put in a lost report at spca.
• If you can go walk around pspca and the animal control shelters - including isolation/sick areas -- and look at all the animals yourself. There really is no substitution for this, if you go to the websites below you'll see many blank photos for animals listed.
• Search terms I use are "missing dog" "lost dog" "stray dog" and I ALWAYS search under "dog" and also "found" and if one color is dominant I may just search by that color. Sometime by area of town.
• People aren't consistently or decently descriptive online. Most postings say dog. Some say the breed but people get that wrong all the time. So will search a couple of different ways per site
• If you think your dog is still around your area, put something that smells like their favorite person outside, every day and that will give them a clue where you are - their noses are very b and the wind will carry the scent.
• Always put an email on your ad - create one for this purpose, not just a phone number. If an animal is spotted online, they won't want to call you. (for example, I hate calling people for a find that could or could not be your animal unless I was sure - and it's tough to be sure from a photo! But I would send you the information and let you decide if a photo is a match.)


• Use flickr as the place to put a photo ( if you can't post a picture to every site) and make sure you include it. Photos are ridiculously important. You'll get a look instead of a skim or a skip - people will be more able to help you.

Networks that help you - free (I think) - def worth it: More eyes looking for your animal is a good thing.

Social media - twitter, consider creating a facebook page, post to lost cat facebook pages - get visible.

Site that help you but cost money - large network - probably worth it:

www.FindToto.com has a calling service that calls neighbors faster than you can put posters up.
HomeAgain is a microchipping service but has lost found service. Homeagain sends out flyers and also lists some animals on their website - I would check them out - although you'll download pdfs in order to see the postings

petamberalert.com send emails out in their network (which is active)

Look up a Pet detective - they do good work and use a dog to track your dogs scent.
Also:
whats your neighborhood community website? post and search there.

POST AND SEARCH on these sites or as many of the places below as you can:

Remember most of the sites expire - so repost repost repost if you can. If the ad is old, the animal is sometimes assumed found or not wanted anymore.

Keep your ad current on lostandpound, petfinder and flealess classifieds lost. findtoto.com too, only if you upload a photo. (ALWAYS upload the photo) People look there, and other than petfinder, they don't seem to expire. :)

There are more little ones - adoptapet.com has a shelter list by zip code - it's decent, but there are more so google your location + rescue (or shelter) (or pet rescue) (or dog rescue)

Hope this helps you, Be active. Remember no one wants your dog back as much as YOU.

BUMP

This is breaking my heart :(

Yeah ! I'm so happy for you and Sasha !

so glad to hear this, dangerous world for a lost pit.

patty, that is amazing news!! every time i walk down frankford and see those "missing" signs, i would get so sad. i'm so happy for you and sasha!

Patty that is fantastic!!! I'm so happy to see this news. Where was she found?

WAHOO!! YAYA!!!

The Best News!!!! So happy the girl is home.

Fantastic! Where'd she turn up? :D

oh my gosh yes! i always kept an eye out when i was walking pig, walking by the lost sign at memphis/columbia always made me sad.

This is exactly what my dogs would do if they got out. The one time my little guy Fritz snuck out of the house, he ran down the street right to a bunch of kids playing ball and stopped to be petted.

This is also exactly what I would do if I saw a dog following me home. I am glad that good people took her in and returned her to you!
