Missing since 1/5 Denver New Berlin NY

[Kay13411]

I am getting desperate for help here. Denver has been missing since 1/5, Tuesday, at about 4:30pm. I live in a very wooded area and have search eveywhere. I have left flyers in every spot including mailboxes all around me. I have two animal communicators trying to locate him. I have sent faxes of the posted to every vet clinic and shelter in the area. I am hoping to get a group of people out this weekend to search. My biggest concern is we have another snow storm and freeze coming in. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. The is a reward for his return. I live in the central NY area. Small town called New Berlin. If I am forgetting to include info, I am sorry, but I have not been thinking very clearly.

Did you notifiy ALL your neighbors? I lost a dog forever because I notified everyone but my neighbors....

I am so sorry. I hope you find Denver soon. I lost my dog for three hours after she got spooked by something on an offleash walk and just took off. I was out of my mind and can imagine what you are going through.

If I lived there, I'd be out helping you search. My thoughts are with you and hoping Denver is somewhere safe out of the cold. Poor guy.

So sorry to hear that. Sending positive thoughts and a prayer that you find Denver and that he is fine.

I see that he came from Brightstar rescue. Have you contacted them to see if they can help or have any suggestions.

If I lived closer to you, I'd be helping you look.

Hope he's back with you soon!

what are the circumstances of his disappearance - is it more likely that he chased a deer into the woods or was he startled & ran or was he possibly 'stolen' by someone passing by etc???

Definitely knock on every door - if people aren't home, leave a notice, also walk around the house calling him (in case he was found & is being held in a garage etc).

Have you contacted the police & highway patrols? make sure they have his picture & information.

Are there any local stables? post his story there so any riders can watch out for him (also post him on the local horse forum if possible)

How long has be been with you - does he know the area? do you walk in the woods alot or is he still an urban GSD?

Have you tried tracking dogs? We used Laura Totis when our dog bolted an hour after the adoption (to find the foster mom) and she is great (you can google her name). She will travel to find lost pets and she is very good to rescues.

Excellent post, Alto. I was just going to say. Check Craigslist in your area for German Shepherds for sale. There has been so many thefts of dogs, and they pop up on Craigslist with a price tag. Usually its under something like " Moving, cant take dog with" or " Dog to a good home" something to that effect.

I wish you luck on your search. If I were in your area, I would sure participate in the search for Denver.

Thank you everyone for upr support and prayers.... I have been thinking of the possiblites that he was stolen. Denver never leaves the yard, only goes to the bottom of the driveway to great my daughter when she gets off the bus. I have a ton of deer that cross through my land, and he has never chased them. I realize things can happen and he could do, but it would be a first for him. Denver is trained in shcutzhund, and is very well behaved. I do work in his training, only once in a great while we will do it for fun. Denver came to trained this way. He was a rescue from this board about 6 years ago. Thank you all again for you support, I do appreciate it.

Kay, this makes me sick to think of, cannot imagine how you feel. Especially after all you've gone through with his health. People should see what he looked like before.

Do you need a new flier? I make them, can post it right here.

There are links at the top of the section for things like findtoto.com and the gsrne big bunch of links.

Our pennysavers do free lost dog things. You can say severe allergies too.

Sorry, forgot to say I'll be thinking of you guys and hoping for his safe, soon return.

When Moochie bolted on us, we placed 350 flyers (encased in upside dog page protectors to keep them from getting wet) in English and Spanish. We put an ad in the paper, and on the local cable channel.

I have a set of word documents that provide a bunch of useful information about lost dogs. If you want a set, please PM me your email and I will be happy to send a set along to you.

By all means, see if you can round up a bunch of BrightStar volunteers to help you in the search. Our volunteers come out in droves when one of our VGSR dogs are lost.

All the best. I will be keeping you and your dog in my thoughts.
