Kitty, I suspect Ace was dog-napped. I am so very sorry. Bless you.

I think you were meant to have her too. God saw two in need -- it was no accident.

I also believe someone took Ace. Do you have caller ID? If so, look at that number and track it down -- that phone call was no accident either. Someone set you up and the phone call was a planned diversion. Sounds like a team working the area. If you do not have caller ID, see if the police will trace the number for you, or maybe even the phone company would -- but probably easier for the police.

Do not take any of the blame for this. You should have the right to believe your Ace would have been fine for the few minutes it would take to answer the phone. No one can elude the true criminals. I pray Ace will find his way home too and in the mean time, give that little one you saved some loving.

I do have caller Id but the call came up private number. I am taking the new pup back to the vet. She does nothing but cry. I'm worried that she may have internal injuries from being thrown out the window of a moving car. I really hate to take her back to the vet since that means another car ride and she screams bloody murder if you put her in a car. I really hope Ace is found soon. At this point I kinda hope someone picked him up because it has been really cold and raining here for the last several days. It would be better for him if some one has him then him out on his own in this cold and wet.

It is just breaking my heart though.

not saying that your friends are bad..but this thought came to me when I was reading your post...

what if someone who knows your phone number and knew that the gate was unlocked...called you purposely to get you out of the yard so they could come in and take Ace? or do you have caller id?

Anywho..good luck finding him

Yes -- great minds do think alike

Did you know that there is an online site that you can just type in an address and find the phone number for that property? It is the reverse address search at whitepages.com -- so any crook around can see your address and then do a search for your phone number even if they didn't know the name, which is probably on the mailbox as required anyway. It is just too easy these days for people to get our information. And then so easy for them to block their identify as they did with that "PRIVATE NUMBER" trick with the caller ID.

I do think the phone company can still track that number down though. I would still contact the police and ask them to do that.

kitty · 12-20-2006, 08:35 AM

The phone company has been notified about the "call" and they told me they won't track it unless it becomes bothersome that they continue to call. I talked with the police too. I'm not sure what they will do. I had a storage shed broken into a year and a half ago and checks were stolen too. The person/s that took the checks have written about $1000.00 worth of checks and the police department still hasn't even wrote a police report.

I hate the police around her.

I did just advertise that Ace is missing on the radio and I had a call from a guy that bought a yorkie matching Ace descripiton about 2 days ago. I am not sure that it's the same dog though since he's across the state from me. He paid 900.00 for him and didn't get papers. Unfortuantly Ace isn't microchipped and Ace didn't know his name yet. I'm afraid if it is Ace I may not get him back. What should I do?

Ask the man for a picture of the Yorkie via email. You could most likely tell from a picture. And, if it is Ace and the man called you, he's obviously going to give him back...unless, he took him and is holding him for "ransom" just to make $900. I hope that's not the case!!! Good luck in finding him.

kitty · 12-20-2006, 08:45 AM

The problem is I offered a reward but didn't say on the radio what it was. This guy asked me how much reward was I offering. I told him $100.00. I am not sure I can scrape up that much but I would beg or borrow it from family if I need to. He said he wants his $900.00 plus vet bills returned or he would keep the dog.

I'm not even sure this is Ace. He said the dog was completly shaved even the top of the head. This is a picture of what Ace looked like when I last saw him.

FlDebra · 12-20-2006, 08:45 AM

I would see if the man could email you a picture and you email him a picture. If you think the match might be possible -- drive over there and see. Rightfully, if you have the papers and he does not, the police would probably side with you on a custody issue. But it would be worth it to me to offer to split the guys $900 with him and offer a $450 reward. He should not have bought without some ownership proof. I would also be suspicious that he was the one who took him and was looking for a reward.

It would make sense that if people are snatching dogs in one area they would take them a ways away to sell them.

I wouldn't give him squat. He needs to get the money back from the person he bought him from! Not only that, he sounds like he's scamming you on purpose!!!! He wants 900 plus vet bills. Tell him to kiss your butt!! Sorry, but the way this guy is acting is really p*ssing me off!!!

Tell him you want a picture of him. And if you have papers and pictures of ace and they match, I would go to the cops!!

(Ps....I'm NOT yelling at you...just mad at the guy! Grrrr)

kitty · 12-20-2006, 08:50 AM

He said he doesn't have a computer to email me any pictures. It will take me more than 4 hrs. to drive to see the dog he has. I don't have any papers on Ace yet. I won't get them until he was neutered. (His appointment is after the holidays.) All I have is my pictures I took of him and my vet bills. Also sounds like this dog was just shaved down so my pictures won't look the same as the dog. I can't afford to give this guy any more than $100.00. I'm not sure what to do. I am waiting on the police to call me back.

I think someone is messing with you....why would he ask how much the reward was?

Marcellacml · 12-20-2006, 08:56 AM

He probably has Ace and is trying to fool you into giving him money to get him back..and he didn't really buy it from anyone he had him the whole time.

or...

Its some idiot playing games..that doesn't even have the dog..and wants you to send him the money through like..check...and then he's going to say..oh i'll have the dog shippied to you..or some b.s. like that.
