My baby was stolen

[TxVicki]

Oh my goodness my heary is breaking for you. I am so sorry this has happened.

I would alert every one you can. Go door to door in your neighbor hood and let them know. make flyers and take to all Vet Offices and Groomers. Also let the shelter know as well.
Also scan Craigs List in your area. Keep checking Craigs List for people selling pets.

Saying many prayers that your baby is returned to you.

Sending you hug's.

Let's face it, if you find a dog that you know the owners are going crazy trying to find wouldn't you stick around or leave a note so they could contact you, not tie it up and split. Lot's of thoughts on what really happened, but I bet the person that took the dog in that case just did not feel comfortable keeping it since it had gotten so much press, or someone they knew might have put pressure on them to return it. That's why media attention in this case is key. the police are not going to set up a dog hunt to find it, so you have to do it yourself. In this case the dog was stolen so contacting vets and shellters will probably be a waste of time, since the person taking the dog will probably lay low for a while and not have the dog out in public much.
The person taking the dog is bound to have friends, relatives, neighbors and so forth so if there is a lot of press about it then perhaps a person close to the thief could make them do the right thing

Ooh you scared me half to death I thought you meant like noose on a tree tied up

This idea of someone taking a dog from inside a fence in someones yard distresses me terribly. I don't understand how people think they can get away with something like this. I pray this pup is found soon. My heart is heavy with the thought....[/QUOTE]

I think she let her out to potty, in the front yard and the baby was snatched while she had turned her back.....sounds like they were standing there waiting......THAT is the scary part....

My heart is breaking for you. How awful ! Prayers

[gracielove]

I'm really sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how awful you must feel. The SPCA and other animal advocacy groups have been running ads on TV and other places about how the rate of thefts of small dogs has sky rocketed in the last few years. They advise people not to let their dogs out alone even in fenced yards and to think of getting extra security as the thieves even take them when they break into homes. I guess the resale value is pretty high even on adult dogs.

As others have said watch all the classified ads, even in other cities that are near you. They may wait a few weeks to try to sell her or just try in a nearby area. Since your little girl was only out for a short time the thief may have been hanging around waiting for an opportunity to grab the poor baby. Notify all the vets for a wide area of the theft so if something suspicious comes in they will know to check it out. You might want to put picture posters up at groomers and pet stores also. Don't give up it may take months but persistence may just get your little one back Many papers will let you put free lost and found ads in their classified section. I don't see why you could not put a stolen dog in that area.

This is just terrible! There are some really desperate people out there. Not that gives them the right to take something from someone else nor to take your baby from you. I am very sorry that this happened to you and I understand you being upset. I would be beside myself. Looks like a few people have given some great advice. I really hope and pray that you get your precious baby back!!

Perhaps you can use this company Lost My Doggie - Our Lost Dog Locating Service will Help Find Your Lost Dog, Lost Cat or Missing Pet
We got a message about a missing dog this weekend and they will leave messages for people in your area.

This is just shocking I am so sad for you, I hope you get her back safe soon.

Hopefully, you will get your baby back.......did you say she was chipped?

Hi Judy, As soon as I saw this thread my heart just sank for the OP. I believe you're referring to when a guy grabbed my Yorkie back in October.


BlueMoon, I'm so sorry you're going through this nightmare! I know it takes a lot of strength and diligence but please take all the excellent advice that's be given here to help bring your baby home.
Don't give up, there's truly hope that your little one will be found.
There were two stolen Yorkie's named Baxtor and Cooper who were returned after 18 months!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little one.

Be sure to contact your neighbors. They will know if someone was visiting and could be of help in locating your baby! Contact all vets in town. Check all classified ads. Praying for safe return of your beloved pet!

I've made a sign and posted it outside the house yesterday as she needs pain meds for her knees, have sent a flyer to our local vet and they are posting it in the office & will keep a look out if someone brings her in, I have 3 for the pet food store and plan to see if they'll post one in the vet area as well to their groomers and also there is a cmpd fb page you can post it on so I did that too. I know that she was stolen and will probably not likely be returned which is what making me crazy. I can't imagine what she's going through the thoughts are too horrifying. To MandiesMom.. I didn't have my glasses on and don't see well in the dark so to answer any questions about the car no all I know is it was an old model, dark could have been black, blue or green. No witnesses of course. I think it was someone visiting one of the neighbors and we're new here, they don't know us so they don't give a $4!^.

I'm going to post on my FB page..this info. Can you send me a private message (if you want privacy) about his age, the area of Charlotte it happened, and any distinquishing features and his name.

I am so sorry for you, if some one stole one of my dogs you better belive they would end up sorry they did it. I highly reccomend going as media blitz as possible, play up the part about her needing medicine. I saw a recent story about someone who saw a little dog on the news and realized her friend had it, the lady made her friend give it up and gave it back to the owner. It's all about getting the word out! I will keep my fingers crossed for this little baby.

Good grief...how sick are people today? I hope you find your baby quickly. What a heartless, heartbreaking...no, just plain evil, thing to do. Sending strength and energy your way and lots of {{{Hugs}}}

[ruby2sday]

This breaks my heart. I would be sick with worry if mine were taken.

[LilAnnCamp]

I would def keep an eye on Craigslist... A similar situation just happened in my area. People "found" a dog re homed it right away. Now people are looking for their dog and can't find it. I saw it on cl but the description didn't say found dog or I would have emailed them. I feel so sorry for the family!

As well with you... Thoughts from my house to yours and would be glad to share if their is a Facebook page started.
