our dog is gone. :'(

Somehow she got out of the backyard yesterday...she's 9yr old and not big enough to jump over the fence and there's no holes under the fence. We're not sure how she got out but we're so sad. Jake went looking for her with me last night, he is so sad. Hearing him call for her and say "jersi! come home! I love you jersi! I miss you!!" as we're driving all over the place was breaking my heart. He's taking it better than me, but that's probably because he thinks she's coming back and I'm losing hope every hour. Its over 90 here, and we live near woods where there are coyotes...I hope she made it through the night. The "unknown" is what hurts the worst.

Are you even looking for her??

I'm sorry. You never know...I saw on FB that the water bowl was gone, right? Is this the first time she's run away?

She said she was...

I'm so sorry.  Hopefully some nice person found her and is keeping her safe for you.  Put up signs everywhere, call the shelters (and petstores, vets, and animal control), talk to all the neighbors.  Put out some food, water, and her bed.

I hope she's okay.

Check your local craigslist under pet services I think it is. Sometimes people find dogs and post them on there. Check animal control center too! I hope she comes home safe to you.

Oh no! I'm so sorry. Don't give up hope. Dogs can be so resilient. I hope you find her soon.

seriously!? I said I drove all over last night, so YES I'm looking for her you idiot. She's 9YEARS old. We rescused her from a box on the hwy when she was 5wks old. She means the world to us. We have also called the shelters, vet offices, groomers, listed on CL and FB. I'm making signs to hang around here too. We keep checking the dog park near us that we always walked to.

yeah our neighbor put the bowl there to put her back in. She got out twice yesterday after we left. This is the first time she's ever got out/ran away.

The unknown is definitely the worst.

We lost our dog for two full days (summertime) in 2008.  She had no collar, though she was microchipped.

My tips, put up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more posters than you think you need to.  Seriously, every lamppost and street sign and local businesses.  Keep making the radius bigger and bigger.  Post signs at dog parks, too.

Then go to www.findtoto.com and buy an ad.  They'll make a phone call to every listed number in a certain radius with the info you provide.  Calls started rolling in 30 seconds after I put out an alert on findtoto.

And search sun up to sun down.  Take turns.  Do it by foot.  Do it by bike.  Do it by car.

wow hiker! I hadn't heard of that one! I'll look into that when we get home. thank you everyone else!

Put signs up at the closest grocery stores, 7-11, any high traffic place you can think of.  Do you have neighbors that walk, run or bike certain routes?  Get the word out to them and give them a picture of your dog to carry with them.  I am so sorry you are going through this.  ((hugs))

Also, ask your neighbors if you could put water bowls out for the dog.

Another suggestion:  If your humane society has a "lost dogs" page, you can post a description and photo of your dog so it will give them a head's up to look for the dog when/if it comes in to the shelter.

Check the shelter websites at least 4x a day. Our dog got out of FIl's yard while we were on vacation. The shelter said they didn't have her. They did; the dumbazz who checked her in didn't check for her microchip, and I found her on the adoption page. When DH picked her up, they checked her and voila, all her microchip info was there! Good luck, the unknown is so hard. I hope you find her soon.

I'm so sorry.  Fingers crossed for you!

I'm so sorry =o(  Maybe try a dog database like fidofinder.com?  My friend owns that particular one and he reunites pets with their owners on a daily basis.
