This tears me up. I know this has affected your entire family. It makes me sick to my stomach to hear about the trend of Yorkies being stolen.
I'm not sure if this is good advice, but I had a friend in Atlanta who lost her French Bulldog. He didn't have any health conditions, but she was advised to offer a reward and also state that the dog was a diabetic and must have his meds daily. She got him back, but I don't know if it was because of this or not.
My prayers are with you. |
Oh my gosh, so sorry about your Westie. You know, I always thought those micro chips were the stupidest thing going. I mean if someone's going to steal a dog they're not going to allow them to be scanned. I've never had a vet scan one of my dogs or even offer. Having said that, I would do anything to go back in time and have them micro-chipped because what if they wonder off and someone does take them in to have them scanned...not everyone is out to steal a dog. Now I feel like the stupidest thing I've ever done is not have them micro-chipped but before this happened those implanted micro chips made me think of the end times in the bible - you know, the mark of the beast. I know it doesn't apply to animals but still - it did go through my mind. Luckily, the puppy came micro-chipped so it was done before I got him.
My husband was advised about putting they were sick on the flyers but I didn't want to lie and I thought it would be obvious but I did make up a flyer offering a $1000.00 reward and it didn't help.
They were actually stolen the Friday before Mother's Day. I think I made a typing error with my original post. I think it was May 7th or the 9th. Whatever the date is two days before Mother's Day. I don't have a calendar handy.
