**UPDATE -- HE WAS FOUND!!!!! ** LOST DOG*** BALDWIN AREA!!!

My girlfriend just moved to Baldwin area...pretty close to the Nautical Mile. Unfortunately her dog got out of the backyard and he hasn't been back since last nite. The kids are heartbroken and she has no idea what to do and doesn't know the area too well just yet.

Can anyone please give me information on where she would need to call locally for the dog?

I believe he's some type of maltese mix -- he has all white hair that can get pretty mangled when its not properly groomed, so they keep him cut pretty short usually. He is a very friendly and jumpy and loves people.

PLEASE if you have seen this dog or can put the word out---my friend really really wants to find him!

He answers to 'Happy'
He is in between groomings--and his hair grows fast....so here are 2 pics of him....one when hes ungroomed and the other when he is.

**He was last seen around 7:30pm last nite with a green shirt on him that said 'Wanna be Doberman'***






If you see him PLEASE FM me!!!!




****UPDATE*****

Yay!! Happy is back home!!

My girlfriend had NO IDEA where to start to try and find the dog....so I looked up the nearest animal shelter to her and it was Freeport Animal Shelter. We called and were transferred to the 'Strays' hotline, and described Happy to them. Thankfully they had received a call today from Baldwin Animal Hospital....stating that someone found Happy and brought him to them, and they had called Freeport Shelter to come get him if no one claimed him by the end of today.

So she has the doggy back and home and I told her to go back to the vet and get him chipped so we don't have to flip out over this next time!!


Thanks for looking and the well wishes!

Ohhh i hope your friend finds him! Tell her to put up posters and notify the local shelter & animal control! Praying for his return!

thanks

he's the SWEETEST dog ever--i love this dog like he was my own!

i'm trying to figure out places to call. i called freeport animal shelter--but they didn't answer and their mailbox is full.

Oh Melissa I hope they get him back
Tell her to call all the animal shelters in the area

Also is he chipped? That would be a HUGE help if he was, also sometimes you can call the police precinct-on a rare occasion people will go there not knowing where else to go

I hope the dog comes home soon!!!

also call any local vets...sometiimes people bring them there...hope he at least had a collar on with tags? Even a rabies tag will have the vets # on it...and they can know who's dog by the vaccine #

his tag stil has their old info on it from when they lived in brentwood---but it does have his vet info at least. i'll be sure to tell her to call her old vet in case someone finds him

OMG i hope they find him!!!

That shirt he's wearing will help, anyone who hears about him will know its him!!!!
