HELP NEEDED: LOST DOG in MISSION KS $200 REWARD
4/2/08: Update - May have been sighted between 67th & 75th street on Nieman yesterday. She was heading towards Quivera at that time. We do not know if this is her, but we are checking into it and would appreciate anyone in the area to keep an eye open for her. Lost: Sunday 3/23/08 @ 4pm. In April of 2007, Tata (renamed Tia) came to us because her puppy mill had been shut down. All the dogs were covered in their own urine/feces and had horrible uterine infections from over breeding. She was quite shy, wouldn't just readily let us touch her. After several months of work, she went into a special foster care home and 3 weeks ago went to her permanent home. We have worked so hard to rehabilitate and re-socialize her and she has turned into such a sweetie. Last Sunday, she jumped the fence of her new home and no one has seen her since.
We have been out looking for her every day and no one
has even spotted her. Either one of two things has
occurred: either she has found a safe place to hide or
she's traveled outside the area that she was lost in. I
need help this weekend putting out a thousand flyers and
walking the streets to inform individuals who live in
the areas so that she can be returned to us.
This is so devastating and with a little extra man power
we might be able to turn it around. If you can just give
1 hour of your time today to help bring her home.
The adoptive family lives in Mission, we have the flyers
at our TPC location listed below, and the foster family
lives in Prairie Village.
Tia is a large Rat Terrier/Jack Russell
Mix. She is female, spayed, and has a small mass on her
nose. She is brown and white, about 25-30 pounds. She
has a collar on with her microchip information. She
likes other dogs, but is especially shy of men. She may
run, but reported sightings would be much appreciated so
we can narrow down where her area is. She is not
aggressive. She just must be really scared.
