Rex is missing

KCandMace · 12-16-2009, 08:01 PM

I have not been on here in a long time.
After we moved back to the states. Husband was restationed and we couldn't follow. Then the house was robbed... Plus a whole lot more horrible days.

Here I thought Monday was the worst... but now...

Rex is missing.

I was cleaning the carpet one more time before I had to turn in the rug doctor and I didn't hear Bo let the dogs out.

When I figured it out Rex was GONE!

I have been looking all day. I went to the local rescue and talked to the lady there. Left the info on Rex and all she said was to check the AC. Which is almost at the other side of the county from me. I tried to call but no answer. Hope tomorrow to get someone.
Talked to neighbors and one said that dogs have been going missing in our rural area.

This makes me fear the worst for my boy.

If anyone know of what to do in NC to help find him, Please let me know. And if you don't just please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

does he have a chip? If so, notify the company to put out an alert. make flyers and get them handed out. Notify the police too. maybe they will spot him while on patrol.

Michelle's idea about the flyers is the best possible way to get the word around. Every single dog I've ever found, I was able to find the owners by posting flyers EVERYWHERE! I think there's a sticky post here about what to do when a dog is missing. I'll try to find it.

Praying that he is found soon! Alex went missing last year at this exact time.

Flyers, craigslist, taking flyers to all shelters and contacting rescues, k9 Amber alert, Ineighbors and using http://www.findtoto.com helped to get him back. It took a week. They had removed his tags and had all intentions of keeping him.

Hopefully he is microchipped, that will help a lot. Find Toto and Ineighbors were amazing in getting people in the neighborhood informed.

It's in the Lost and Found forum.

I hope he's home soon. Another idea someone gave me once was to put clothes around the outside of your house so they can catch the scent. Couldn't tell you if it works or not, but it sure couldn't hurt to try.

I don't have anywhere to place flyers as I am rural with few neighbors. I would have to put them at petsmart and I have never seen any flyers there. But it is on my list of places to go tomorrow.
I will let AVID know if I can find the paper.

I don't have the money for toto or amberpet. Money is so tight after being robbed.

MTAussie · 12-16-2009, 08:20 PM

I just went door to door handing out flyers. Also, findtoto will call your neighbors within a certain radius that helps a lot too.

Go in person to A/C to check. Don't rely on them calling you.

jake · 12-16-2009, 08:27 PM

prayers are with you=worst nightmare for any dog-partner is--Where is he?Not close enough to help but thinking of both of you.

Jax08 · 12-16-2009, 08:29 PM

AVId should have your details. Go to the website and find a phone number.

let all your neighbors know immediately!!!. I lost a dog because I didn't do that. If they had known then when the person that found her came to their door they could have sent her to me.

PUt an ad in the pet section of your newspaper. Lost ads are usually free.

Call the AC everyday (after you check in person like middleofnowhere) said.
