Oh well! This is a perfect example of how Missing Pet Partnership is helping to instruct people in how to properly capture panicked stray dogs. See my final comments at the end of my blog. Tuesday, April 26, β I came home at approximately p. Brandon and I immediately went out looking all around the East Hill area Kent, WA within a 5-mile radius from our home.
Brandon, his parents, my parents, and I searched until dark and found nothing. Wednesday, April 27, β When Brandon got home in the early afternoon he found a posting on Craigslist about a brown and white husky running loose in the East Hill area.
He immediately went to where Dax was last seen at Clark Lake Park approximately acres. In-between, listen carefully for a faint bark or meow that may indicate your curious friend is trapped somewhere. Thursday, April 28, β I went to the MPP website and after reading about skittish, xenophobic dogs, and some of the information on what to do and how they react, I called MPP and Chris the MPP dispatcher and volunteer Jim Branson were both able to give me tips and ideas on what to do to find Dax.
I went again to the KC Animal Shelter after work to check. With no trace in sight, we again returned home for the night. Friday, April 29, β Brandon had the day off and staked out the neighborhood where Dax was last seen with no luck.
We went to the shelter, but she still was not found. At pm we got a call that Dax was seen sniffing one our neon posters but was spooked when a car drove by. She gave us instructions on how NOT to call a panicked dog and how to use food to attract Dax but while ignoring her. It was extremely helpful and I was so touched she and her colleague came out to give us support, information, and help. To our disappointment, not one call came in that day about Dax.
