My baby is missing I need help!

[sexiixtc]

that's horrible! I thought for sure you would at least have this lead by now..

and that Walmart manager was LYING.. in a way.. HE can't look at the surveillance tapes BUT the store manager CAN.. I know this because i work for Walgreens and we have had many things happen... not too long ago, a woman claimed she left her wallet on the front counter.. so he went back, looked at the tape, and lo-and-behold... she took it..
so go back to Walmart.. and talk to the store manager.. is he/she doesn't want to help.. then go higher up in the district.. have them call loss prevention.. they come in, look at the tapes and voila

Is there anyone in the TV field who does human interest stories in your
area? How can it get on the news? Call Fox 5 and see if you can make a
contact regarding this story. I would tell Walmart that your doing one and using their name
in a negative way because they would not help you. Scare the pants off
these insensitive idiots. Some family store!
Prayer's still coming for Zeke's safe return to you.

Would Maureen's vet -- or any of the vets you have spoken with -- be willing to call the paper or TV news? Have any of the vets you've spoken with confirmed that there are other Yorkies missing?

I'm thinking that Dr. Joe Blow -- a local veterinarian who has seen a recent rise in calls concerning missing Yorkshire Terriers -- has a lot better chance of getting the paper's or producer's attention.

Just a thought.

Donna Jean - I was pleased to read the above, about Maureen contacting those Vets. When I spoke to my Vet this morning he told me that when a dog goes missing that he is notified about, he ALWAYS scans that breed when an unfamiliar dog, fitting the description is brought in.
If new flyers are sent out, I believe an important message MUST be included - that there will be absolutely NO questions asked/repercussions if Zeke is returned. Threats will only drive any person involved further away. They need to know that if they provide information leading to Zeke's return, even if they are involved, no action will taken against them. It is unfortunate that such evil would go unpunished, but I think the ULTIMATE goal here is returning this baby to his Mommy. Whatever happens after that is irrelevant to me.
I would be willing to make a donation if it would help. I just want Maureen to get her baby back NOW!!!!!!

[joy and bella]

i will make a donation too!!! anything i can do to help!

[TLC]

Here's an idea...

What's the MAJOR newspaper out there?
What if we all banned together and somehow made it possible to 'buy' either a full page or 1/2 page ad - with Zeke's photo and ALL that we know, rewards, refunds, etc...

What do you think??

I have plenty of Ad that we can mock up and recreate for Zeke!

[Ozzie'sperson]

I think Maureen mentioned speaking to an editor at the Modesto Bee ...

[Sookie]

Two things I want to add; not sure how important they are, but I'll throw them out there anyway.

I think time is of the essence with respect to the video - they are routinely erased after a length of time in many cases. So I agree, a phone call from a lawyer would be a big help. Better than a letter.

Secondly, with regard to the microchip...I think it is fairly easy for someone to make a small cut and remove the chip. I know no one wants to imagine this happening, but I would want the vets to let Proud Mommy know of ANY new Yorkie coming in, not just one microchiped. I might be wrong about this, but I needed to mention it anyway. Otherwise, excuse my ignorance.

I just sent an Ad Quote request to the Modesto Bee. I will let you know what the rates are as soon as I hear back.

[Ozzie'sperson]

Does anyone know -- Sacramento TV stations serve Modesto????

[Victoriartist]

I will also help with a donation if it's needed to run an ad in the newspaper or on the radio. . . . anything to help get him back home.

[Shadow]

OMG. I would go hang a flier at the walmart telling of this happening last sunday and ask anyone with any info to CALL ME

[TLC]

I know, I wish I was there! I'd be outside Walmart with a big banner, I feel so helpless.

Here's another thought:
Is anyone familiar with My Space??? I am not at al, but I wonder if we could make a My Space Page for Zeke and than is there a way to focus in on being 'friends' to people in the Modesdo/Tracey area???? This might get word spread around on a different level - Anyone

What about the chamber of commerce in Modesto/Tracy areas...they would want to save their cities/business' reputation, or the elected officials, mayors, council members or such...who would know their cities inside and out. And also don't most police departments have investigators...find out who that is and see if they'll help. If not city police...how about county or even state? I know their has to be someone that will take notice of this story and take it further...legally.
I have said it before, Zekes return is of the utmost importance...No questions asked...any information about dogs being stolen, needs to be pursued.
You know there needs to be an AMBER ALERT type thing for missing animals just like there is for children...is there anything like that...hmmmm...just a thought. Someone set up a fund, for donations...Maureen needs our help, Zeke needs our help.

I saw in another thread that YTmember Littlewhip is a Walmart Manager.
Wondering if she could help out at all........
