"If anyone knows of someone with room in their hearts and home for a puppy,
these guys are asking for a place to call home. Scott rescued 6 black lab (mix)
puppies out of the middle of the road on Saturday. PLEASE help me find them
homes - otherwise, it's Animal Control - which means they only have 5 days.
We've bathed them, sprayed them for fleas and wormed them....but we can't keep
them. They are currently in a kennel in my basement since I don't have a fence.
I've lost count of the number of rescue groups that I've contacted, only to be
turned down due to no room. Please check with every dog person you know to see
if they need a puppy."

SHIRO IS HOME!!!

Shiro has been found!!! My former karate instructor, whom I phoned the night Shiro went missing just in case he happened to see him, spotted Shiro and kept him occupied with some bologna (yes, the way to Shiro's heart is food sometimes) until my Mom could drive over and pick him up. Reports from my family indicate that Shiro is doing just fine- he is not shaking like he's cold, he's not acting like he's hungry, he's not even dirtier than usual. Upon returning home, Akira and Shiro were excited to be reuninted, Shiro drank some water, then hopped up to his favorite resting spot on the couch to take a well-deserved nap! I wonder what he's been up to since Saturday night? I'm sure glad he's back, though, and looking forward to seeing him with my own eyes this weekend.
Thanks for everything pals: spreading the word, encouragement, wishes, prayers, etc. We sure appreciate it!

No News Yet...

I made up flyers and e-mailed them home. My parents are printing them out and going to post them around the area. They were pretty much up all night, my brother said he did not sleep at all and went in and out looking for him. They looked more today, in the woods and everywhere. No sign of him anywhere, so I hope that means somebody picked him up and is taking care of him and trying to find out where he belongs. I put an ad in their local newspaper there, but it won't be in until tomorrow. We're calling the local vet and I think there's a dog warden or something we'll have to get in touch with-- no shelters or pounds very nearby. We're going out of our minds, but not giving up hope. Shiro is a smart and wiley little guy, so if anydog can do it, he can. I will let you know as soon as I hear any news. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, it means so much to us. I just feel so helpless, but I'm trying to spread the word in the hopes that someone will know something or see something and contact us. It is possible he could be to Pennsylvania by now, as my family lives very close to the state line in Ohio. Thanks again,
Sarah

URGENT!!!

Shiro is missing. He got loose probably around 9 P.M. EST from my family's home in Calcutta/East Liverpool, Ohio. He is a small cream-colored fixed male Shiba Inu. Please spread the word to anyone in the Ohio area. It is possible he could have gotten all the way to the Pennsylvania line, but not likely. He does not like to be touched around the neck, and he will bite. If he is seen, it is best to try to bribe him with food. Cheese is his favorite. Anyone in the area, please keep your eyes open. Everyone else, please send your thoughts and prayers for Shiro. It is very cold out there tonight. I was there yesterday and this morning, but I am back in Pittsburgh, PA right now and feel so helpless. I will keep you posted.
Thank you,
Sarah
