Lost German Shepherd in Ohio *Please Help & Pray*
I'm writing this in hopes of finding my mother's German shepherd "Viess."
Frday April 9th my mother died from cancer with her faithful companion right at her side. This dog meant everything to my mom. Sadly the next day Viess was so upset my nephew went to put her in the car to take her to my mom's house to comfort her and she ran away. She ran through downtown Willoughby, my mother lived in North Willoughby. Also for the past 6 weeks Viess and my mother stayed here with me in Chardon. I am sure she is searching for my mother but may be confused which house to go to. If you are a rescue person please keep your eyes out for her while you are out helping other animals. She does have her Lake county current license along with her rabies tags. I am hopeful she will turn up. Even if she has been hit by a car I just need to know. Please help and watch out for her wherever you are. She is shy and timid with strangers so she may be hiding in the woods. She is 9 years old, approx. 72 pounds. The one thing that will tell you if this is Viess is her right ear - it is crooked and deformed due to an ear infection that she had when she was a puppy. See picture attached. Please contact me at (440)796-2523 Jennifer or my sister Cathy (440) -384-0062 There is a reward for her return. Thank you in advance for any help/sightings or information for helping us. |

Jennifer,
If you haven't already, you might want to contact Debbie with Dogs Hope GSD rescue. She's in the area and I'm sure she'd be more than happy to help get the word out for you. dogshope@dogshope.com She's pretty quick about answering emails. Or you can give her a call at 440.357.1226 -- she answers from 4:30ish pm till about 8:00. There's also a K9 Amber Alert group on Yahoo. You might want to post her info there. I'm in western Cuyahoga, but know a couple people who live in your area. I'll let them know about her now. I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother and hope and pray that Viess is found safe and sound. If I can do anything else to help, please let me know.

I would also contact the News Herald...it's a human interest story and they like that...get her photo in the paper...both the Lake County and Geauga County Editions...
Also, don't forget Rescue Village and the Geauga Shelter, Lake County Humane Society and the Lake County Dog Pound...AND YES, Debbie from dogs hope is a GREAT IDEA...she has many contacts... Wishing you tons of luck with finding this confused and sad girl...Judy |

Yes, the local TV stations certainly can't hurt. Good idea.
I just sent her info to my mom, too. She works for a freight company and knows a lot of drivers who are out and about, on the roads all day long. They'll have her description and your contact info and will keep an eye out for her.

My thoughts and prayers for you and your family for the loss of your mother. I too lost my mom to cancer, in 2000, and can understand what you've been through. I hope that Viess can be found and returned safely. The idea about contacting a newspaper or tv station is great advice, it would be a heartfelt story with hopefully a great ending. Maybe with all the contacts this board has given you, your next post will be titled ... Viess is Home!

Another thought...in case this girl does make her way home...notify your Mom's neighbors to keep their eyes peeled for any sightings of Viess.
Also give them your contact numbers so they can call if there is a sighting... IF your Mom had a fenced in yard, see if someone can lure her into the yard with food or treats, lock that gate and call you immediately... Even if they can get her in the garage... So worried for this girl...she is so confused, frightened and scared right now...Judy |
