We want to thank all of the wonderful people who helped look for out dog. She was lost on Super Bowl Sunday in Carson City. My wife spent the last 2 1/2 weeks searching and searching the neighborhoods near where she was lost. She spent hours and hours returning phone calls of possible sightings, she even went to any area no matter how remote hoping someone had found our beloved little puppy. Carson City Animal Shelter 775-887-2171 came out each and everytime she thought there was a chance that we found her. We put up almost 500 flyers everywhere. We even offered a $500 dollar reward hoping that would entice someone if they had her. This was lots of pavement pounding and talking with complete strangers.
On 2-22-12 my wife recieved a call about 1 1/2 miles from where she was originally lost. A family had seen her and tried to catch her. You know scared dogs, they run and hide fast so that is what she did. My wife and several wonderful people searched the property and just could not find her. The Carson City Animal Shelter came out one more time and searched under a shed that no one thought the dog could crawl under. To great surprise, joy and many tears, there was Zoe. It took a few minutes of calling by my wife to coax her out but she did come out.
The reunion for my wife was extremely emotional and heartfelt.
So to all the folks who helped along the way--we say Thank You So Very Much. We never would have found our dog had it not been for all of you. What about the reward? The folks that made the final discovery did not take any money. They did ask that we give that money to the Carson City Animal Shelter. That is what we are doing.
To the Carson City Animal Shelter, Thank you for being so kind, empathetic, responsive and caring during our search. Each of you there has proven to us that you truly do care about the care of animals.
Oh by the way, we ended up rescuing a dog from someone that needed a home. So now we have 2 dogs. What a great ending to such a possible tragedy. God does get credit for all of this since he kept Zoe alive, gave the folks who helped some great sight and ensured that my wife could remain in the area for the duration. read more
