We actually thought we'd found him this morning, but it turned out to be a larger, fluffier Pomeranian that was picked up in the same area of town, about 6 blocks from where Kobi was lost.

I think the police should do something. I see that as a stolen dog which is a legal issue. Dogs are seen as property too. MAN what a nightmare. <br />I would personally pay the money OR make the police come with me to get the dog back. It's like a bad kidnapping situation. You know they have to resell those dogs also for money online. Tell them to look for his pic online and do a search for dogs in the craigslist ads, etc. That's so very very wrong it's crazy. People are so cruel sometimes! <br />I will pray for Kobi and your family. Grr that makes me so mad. I'd die if that happened to my Toby dog!

Another trip around "the house" will be done, also. <br /><br />I want to print out a few fliers WITH a reward amount of say $250 and have my son approach the woman at that house and nicely ask if she would pass them out to people in her neighborhood. That's more than they could probably get by selling the dog, and they definitely look like they could use the money. It might just tempt her to return him if she does have him.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-30248780953304984102012-02-21T04:36:12.909-08:002012-02-21T04:36:12.909-08:00That's terrible about Kobi!

I believe that house definitely has your dog in there, I would try the avenue of calling not the SPCA but your local Animal Control, they have certain authority from the city/county to investigate and enter places for the welfare of animals and are able to deal with this better than the local police since their primary responsibility is for their human citizens. When I worked in that field, I always used to recommend that people get the word "REWARD" engraved on the collar to encourage people to call who might not otherwise do so, but never specify the amount. Also the word "SEIZURES" gets a lot of dogs back home since people usually don't want to deal with that. I'll be praying these people do the right thing. As for the couch, ouch! What a pain, all these things all at once!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-7345865307229097502012-02-20T21:40:14.001-08:002012-02-20T21:40:14.001-08:00Granny, I'm so sad to hear about your Kobi.

I too would stake out the house in question with a camera. All dogs need to go outside to do their business eventually. I can't believe the police haven't been more helpful. I bet if you got some rescue folks in your area involved you would get to the bottom of this. I was involved in dog rescues for a while and these are absolutely passionate people who often love dogs more than people.<br /><br />I am sure you know this, but be diligent in calling your local shelters every day and ask them what you can do to find Kobi. Sometimes there are different people there every day and they may have different knowledge. Also check in with Petfinder.com every day and even post to their forum.<br /><br />I see your local Tri-Cities Animal Shelter isn't open on Mondays, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that they can help you tomorrow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-72398802588840311562012-02-20T18:42:19.067-08:002012-02-20T18:42:19.067-08:00Kris, thank you.
