One of our rescued dachshunds Sarah, is lost. She was rescued by NDR from a bad breeding/puppy mill situation and adopted by her family last fall. They absolutely adore her and are grief-stricken, as you can imagine if it were your special dog. I have lost an animal and I can tell you the anguish of not knowing where they are or what might be happening to them is absolutely horrible. The worst goes through your mind, and you come to realize you would do anything to find them.
Sarah is very sweet and very shy, and has been lost and on the run almost 3 weeks. Her owners, Deb and Tom, have exhausted every resource they can – they consulted a professional pet finder, and John from HUA brought his scent dogs up at no charge to track Sarah’s trail. They have put many posters out and advertisements around town and on Craig’s List. Their family has searched for her every day, only to come up empty-handed and frustrated. Though there have been several reported sightings of Sarah in the neighborhood she was lost in, no one can catch her - not even her dad Tom. From what we can piece together, she has not traveled far, and is most-likely hiding under a deck or bushes or in the wooded area. We believe there has been enough rain the past few weeks to keep her hydrated, and that she has enough body fat to last a while, but we are worried time is running out for this sweet, terrified girl. The high heat and humidity is also a concerning factor.
This is why we need your help. If every volunteer could band together in a united effort to find Sarah, if we all work together to comb the neighborhood and spread the word to the folks who live there, we may be able to make a difference. There is strength in numbers, and pet owners are some of the most dedicated and supportive people I know.
We will be meeting this Saturday, June 27th at 10:00am, at the United Methodist Church at 3535 Maplewood Blvd, which is in the middle of the two neighborhoods where she was sighted. We will go as long as we can – however long you can stay is appreciated. If you are able to help, even for a few hours, it would really make a difference.
