You need to send a letter with a picture of your dog to the vets in your area, stating that he was stolen. Also by law you need to run an add in the local news paper lost/found section with the date your dog went missing. This will prove that you did what you could to let the public know of his disappearance. Dogs are considered property & by law if you find property NOT belonging to you , you are required by law to turn it into the police OR in this case the local shelter OR place a public add witch would be in the news paper lost/found section . If you place an add you need to get a copy of it, if you see someone with your dog then you will need to prove it's your dog and that you ran a public add that he was lost/stolen. I'll be praying for his safe return. Also you must check shelters in person & do NOT just call to ask if they have a dog fitting your dogs description as too many times the shelter workers mislabel dogs breeds, in other words too many don't know a Pitbull from ShihTzu. |
