You are all GSD people, maybe you can help. - Page 2

I am in Sacramento, I have tried the local paper, news and radio... I had a free ad in the Sac Bee for about 8 months. I never got a response from the news or radio. All of my leads ended up dry, maybe I should do flyers again or something.... Honestly.... I don't know what I would do with two dogs if/when I find him..... its ALLOT of work with the pup I have now.  

Some people looking to get into sport, do not realize how much work it really is.... Thats probably why the boy in the shelter is there to begin with.

Well, you are too far away.

I hope he is well taken care of somewhere.

hopefully you will be reunited. The theives probaly live not far away. They never do, maybe dog will get loose.

best of luck in your search.

Whether he is your missing dog or not, I hope you decide to adopt him and give him a home.  He looks like a lovely  young dog.  As far as the color goes, it's hard to tell since they change  so much the first few years, but I don't think  pencil marks come back once they fade.   I'm so sorry your dog was stolen, I can't imagine the pain.

Thank you all for the condolences! And the compliments on him as well. He was beautiful in my eyes. No pedigree, just a great rescue.  Here is my favorite picture of him. His name is Robbi.

Hard call! My fingers are crossed he is your dog! But like everyone says, maybe he will win you over and you can give him a home regardless. My friend has a dark black and tan that over time has darkened and gotten the penciling, now looks like a bi-color. Sables change more than bl/tn's... hope he is your boy and you both have a Disney moment.

Go look.... you'll never have peace unless you know for sure he is or isn't yours. 

I had two dogs stolen from my back yard many years ago, and it haunted me for ages.  Same with my search for Duke this winter. Once I knew he was alive I had to search every day in that area for 5 weeks straight.  I was fortunate...  We did find each other.  But I had to check every lead just in case...

And as others have said, the "worse" that could happen is that he's not your dog, and you fall in love and take  him home with you.  Isn't it amazing what great dogs end up in Shelters?? 

Go see him -- and pay attention to your "gut" or the "ping" in your heart.  If he is yours, you will KNOW.  Good luck and God Bless.

I have a bitch who rotates seasonally from dark sable to nearly black sable and back again.  Sables change colors some seasonally all the time, sometimes even becoming less red or more red as well as darker or lighter.  I'd call the shelter people and see if they won't take some more pics for you.

I am guessing that your beloved fella was not microchipped?  if so, then there should be no problem in identifying the shelter dog.

guru,

Your going to go look at the dog, good.

I lost an Irish Setter once, she ran wild for over a year and I believe ran with coyote's.   I had lost a dog to a nieghbor in an automobile accident and went to the local pound as we called it to see if I could find something to replace my dog and found my Irish Setter.   She had been picked up in the city 15 mile's away, actually in the down town area.  She raised her lip and snarled like a coyote and kept her tail tucked up under her body similar to a coyote.  Skinny and rough no one would believe she was actually my lost dog.   Except that I knew it and she knew it.   At first sight we recognized each other.

After a visit to the vet I took her home, she had heartworm's, too advanced to treat.   She lived a pampered life for her remaining year's and became my shadow.   Don't hesitate to go look.   You really never know.

Brent.
