My dog ran away - HES HOME!!!!!!

AND Im in Florida and there is nothing I can do about it!

My neighbor took his electronic collars off when it was 0 out so he could spend the night in her basement and put it too close to the wire so it killed the battery. She couldnt figure out how to open it to change the battery so she just left him inside the gate. The person who is watching the house said he got there tonight around 5 and the dog had broken out.

He has no tags on him, they were on his collar, hes been gone since sometime this morning/afternoon.

No one has called animal control or the police to report him with them.

Im so sad and FH is freaking out. Hes had him since he was a puppy 9 years ago.


****UPDATE AS OF 10:58AM*****

Riverhead animal control just called me and said that a man called them saying that he had a cocker spaniel on his property sitting on his porch with his dog. Doug (thats the dogs name) is a Springer Spaniel... the guy might not know the difference!! He also said he was brown and white... which Dougie is. I mean how many brown and white Cocker Spaniels do you know?? I get to find out in 2 hours when the dog warden gets back and I can go see if its Doug... KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!



IT WAS HIM!!!! HES HOME!!! HE SPENT THE WEEKEND WITH ANOTHER DOG ON SOMEONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS PORCH!!! HES HOME! I CRIED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES! STRESS IS OVER!

I'm so sorry to hear that!! See if you can at least call the animal shelter and the police to give a basic description so if someone turns your dog in - they'll know how to find you!!! Have faith!! When I was growing up - my kitty disappeared for a week! We were heartbroken!! She came back home A WHOLE WEEK LATER!!! The vet thought that maybe she ended up getting locked in a shed or something. Good Luck!!

I am sooo sorry to here about your dog What exactly is an electronic collar? I never heard of this. Does this mean your dog stays outside?

Re: My dog ran away

The electronic fence is a burried wire aroundh the permitter of the yard. The dog wears a collar with a shock thingy if the dog gets too close it beeps then if the dog continues to come toward the wire it will shock the dog till it gets out of the area where the wire is. He was outside in the garage with a blanket and heating pad. He was inside our fence in the immediate back yard but broke the fence and got out.

I hope hes not freezing somewhere!!!

That is so sad. I know how you feel. My black lab ran away on June 8th. I was heartbroken. She was a week away from turning 15. I had gotten her when she was only1. The holidays this year weren't the same without her. We looked and called the vet and aspca but never found her. I thought we would get her back because i never thought an old dog like that could get very far. Good luck and I hope you get your dog back.

Molly... Im sorry to hear that... That makes me even more scared.

What really bothers me is that he has been missing for a while and NO ONE has found him or called...

I am so so sorry to hear this...I know how heartbreaking it is! I pray that he comes home safely!

Do you usually leave her outside, or is it just b/c you are away? (it's just so cold...even with a heating pad)

oh no I'm sorry - maybe he will come right back home. My cat did this and he was gone for several days. One day, there he was, completely filthy but back on our doorstep.

I hope your puppy returns home soon and has a nice arm place to spend the cold nights! I'm sure he misses you! Keep us updated! Perhaps we can help- what does he look like and what town/area are you from? Maybe us LIW girls in that area can keep an eye out for him!

I was thinking the same thing. I think they are from the Riverhead area!

I am so sorry!

I can't believe the people watching him for you didn't call animal control!

Did you ask them to call once they told you about the dog? I would find out if there are any shelters around where you live and call them.

Good luck. I'm sorry that it happened and I hope you find the dog soon!
