LOST DOG in Lake Zurich Illinois. Justin is 4 years old neutered male about 50#. Skittish of men. Lost 2 days ago when the lawn people left his gate open. His mom is THE most dedicated Vet Tech ever and Ruckus' BFF. His onwer just got out of the hospital, and misses Justin terribly, plus she is worried as heck.
Please feel free to cross post anywhere you can think of.
Nothing new. Just sent out another mass fax, Lost Dogs Illinois just reposted, no sightings. Something has moved his blanket, but we don't think it's him.
And the darn landscapers haven't even apologized or called.
Well we have had a couple of sightings of a dog we think is Justen the last two Sundays. He has moved areas, and seems to be circling around and trying to head home. After getting her hopes up, Jeanette thought it was actually a neighbor's dog, but the guy who has seen Justen (also a dog owner) says at first he thought it was the neighbors B&W herding dog, but it definitely is not. He is going to start taking a leash with him. He is getting very close to houses.
Darn you Justen! Let the guy catch you! (The longer he stays out, the more I worry about him getting hurt).
Prayers sent , its been long enough for his adventure it's time to come home. Can they put some food down, than maybe a cage if he will get comfortable in one place.
It is so great to see something about "Justen" So great of the guy to take a leash on his walks..maybe a pop-top can of dog food as well? ..or cat food, tuna..whatever! So Justen might hear it and know there is food? ....here's hoping!
Nothing new. we talked tonight about hiring the company that sends flyers to the neighbors. It's getting colder, and he was getting closer to houses, so someone may have picked him up..... I just pray he's safe. It's been 2 months.
I'm so sorry . I don't know what I would do if I was in her shoes. Please tell her she's in our prayers. On www.facebook.com/findingbelladog. Look on the right to finding dooley. It's the story of a Shellie that was lost in the Nevada desert for 57 days he was found and is home. Don't give up hope
Sending more prayers up! Man I hope they find him and that he's safe and sound. I don't remember if this was mentioned before but does he have a microchip??? Maybe if he gets close to houses and someone picks him up they'll take him in and if he has one he'll be on a fast track home.

Well, as you more than likely know, Susan, the two Aussies are found ...so now the BC... and all will be well, for these dog's anyway. I do appreciate that there are many more lost and not found yet, but the news of the Aussie pup is so encouraging.
Does she have a Facebook page like bring justin home? It helps to have a lot of people watching for him. A fellow RTF member just got her dog back because someone found him and had him scanned for a micro chip, he had been missing for almost a year.
Wow!!! That's an AMAZING story!!! Hoping all the lost dogs are returned home soon...I'd hate to think of someone having to spend this holiday season without their best friend...
We live about 12 miles from Lake Zurich. Please contact me if I can help in any way.
I wish I had thought of this sooner. Lake Zurich has a very large and active running club. http://www.alpinerunners.com/
By contacting them you could enlist a small army of individuals regularly afoot in the area. Runners tend to seek remote, low-traffic locations and trails, perhaps locations a scared dog might seek seclusion. Loose dogs and runners regularly encounter one another.
Back when I was an avid runner, this club used to host an annual Thanksgiving morning run (both a social event and a pre-feast workout) that had a large turnout. This might be a good opportunity to make a face-to-face request for help from this club.
Again, I'd be more than happy to help with any efforts to find your friend's dog.
That's a great idea Jim about the running group..... I'm going to contact them and see if they can't get a message out to their group...... I'll also let Jeanette know about your kind offer.
It's been over 6 weeks since a sighting. We think that someone has picked up Justen. Justen was a Katrina dog. and is very much missed. He has a facebook page now:
And Chicago Sun Times columnist Michael Sneed wrote a blurb in her column on Friday Dec. 14, 2012. See page A4 at the top (you will need to change the date and page).
