Missing GSD - Page 2

Shelley, I have only to say that my heart goes out to you and the dogs, and that I sincerely hope you can locate the dog!

Shelley,

Even if the chip in the dog wasn't registered, it should have been registered to you as the purchaser of the chip.  They record who bought the chips, especially the prepaid ones.  Our rescue was tracked this way on a dog that was found and not resistered and also we had a dog that we rescued from the shelter and adopted out - the owner never registered the chip, but the shelter that implanted the chip was contacted when the dog was found (they in turn contacted us and we "reclaimed" the dog).

BTW the shelters usually don't scan the dogs turned in by the owners.  

I hope you find your boy!  You might want to contact some GS Rescues in those areas. 

GS Mom.- That was what they told me when I bought the pre-paid chips, but I have gotten a major runaround, directed to outsourced tracking company, trying to research whether any inquiries have been made. I have contacted several shelters, posted a Petfinder classified...  Maybe one of the shelters can track by the name of owner who surrendered the dogs, IF they weren't sent with someone else, (read: coward!) or a ficticious name was used, which I wouldn't doubt.  X your fingers...

Hi Shelley-

Trying call Pet Aid 856-228-4411.  They are in Blackwood NJ.  They do not have a website.  They are a animal advocacy group.  They help owners find their lost pets.  My sister-in-law who volunteers at the shelters said they may be able to help. 

Good luck!

it's sad that we have a breeder who's done and is trying to do everything right by this dog and is having such a difficult time of it. we get all kinds of complaints on this board about breeders who don't give a rat's behind once they get paid for a dog and now we have just the opposite. apparently, for these buyers, doing the simple right thing was just too hard. shelley, i hope you find this dog and i hope the "owners" stick to goldfish or those little robot dogs.

apparently, for these buyers, doing the simple right thing was just too hard.

A :family in distress" surrendering a dog instead of returning it to the breeder I might be able to understand. Records can be lost in the process of moving or divorce. Debilitating illness might take the matter of animals out of the hands of the owner, unable to attend to them. Things CAN happen without malice, I understand that.

BUT... Just suppose a professionally trained dog trainer, supposedly specializing in K9 training, who promised to work the puppy to titles in order to get the puppy for half-price ON CREDIT pulls this kind of a stunt?

Just supposing, of course, strictly rhetorical... of course... (sp?)  This isn't the end of this issue, although I fully appreciate that the end of the puppy may (sadly) have long since come and gone. I am so upset since I got wind of all this I could spit nails. I am turning over heaven and earth, and getting nowhere, might well never know the truth about what happened to my precious litter pick puppy. I'd like to think he is enjoying a great life somewhere, perhaps adopted, maybe given away, sold, or humanely destroyed without undue stress, not neglected, abused, injured... Its the not knowing and the conscious decsion on the part of the "owner", knowing full well what they were doing was WRONG on SO many levels, that's keeping me up at night.

Time to tend to/train the pther dogs. Its hard not to let them be affected by my emotions, so I must put this out of my mind for a few hours, till I am alone and free to let my feelings run.

I am truly sorry Shelley for this mess with your pup...but I have the same thing almost discovered day before yesterday..My nine month Cehli   is tied on a chain in a shackby the railroad track with an man who claimed to be a retired preacher and the house is in weeds , church delapodated and he told me he had a back yard and was buying a kennel for her tto be inside...He paid a pretty penny for her...her parents are ofa..and she is gorgeous and kennel trained and obedience. She is in weeds and I confronted him on Sunday....He just looked at me and I left his premises....I drove   120.00 miles to take him a new app..as he screwed up the first one and wouldnt mail it back..he wanted me to mail  him a new one and i said no way Hosea...and i went to this God forsaken  dump and now Im faced with a decision.....

In the front yard tied with another chain in a weed patch was another male german shepherd....I was in such shock,,,I guess Yellowrose may be in Jail by Friday of this week....so wish me luck...My pup will not stay there,,,I can guarantee that.

Shelley,

Is it ok to cross post the basic information?  I'm on several rescue lists that have folks that are in that general area.  One of them might have a lead.

By all means. Feel free to x-post the basics and my contact info.

Thanks,

SS

Shelly, Yellowrose, I think you just changed my mind about ever breeding a litter....

I do hope you're able to get your dogs back safe and sound, and that YR is able to stay out of jail...

Hey, can we post bail for you if the worst comes to the worst?
