**** Kuma has been reunited with her owner
Thank you, everyone for your kind words and for keeping an eye open
We are forever grateful that Kuma is home***
💔 It’s been 100 hours since Kuma went missing. 95 hours since the last confirmed sighting.
Not a single minute has passed that I haven’t felt crushing guilt and heartbreak. It was early morning — I wasn’t fully awake, went to let the dogs out, and forgot to turn off the alarm. In that split second of distraction, she bolted. I felt the leash rip out of my hand and watched her disappear. I’ve never lost a dog before, and I cannot begin to describe this pain.
For four days we’ve done nothing but search — following every lead, no matter how far-fetched. I stood for three hours in the cold, waiting while a drone scanned the woods with thermal imaging, praying for even a glimpse of her heat signature. Each time it came back with nothing, my heart broke all over again.
We’ve called every shelter, every day. We’ve walked miles, driven for hours, talked to anyone who might have seen her. Still nothing. I feel like I’ve failed her — and the rescue we promised to give her a safe, happy life. Someone out there must have her. If you do, please — please — bring her home.
Kuma has five humans and a fur sibling who love her more than words can say. Please don’t hurt her or abandon her — her life didn’t start easy, and she deserves a happy ending.
To those who have helped us search, shared posts, handed out flyers, or simply cared — Andy, Jan, Tammy, Jamie, Howie — thank you. Your kindness is the only thing keeping us going.
And to anyone tempted to judge or say something cruel — please don’t. Your words can’t possibly wound me more than the guilt and grief I already carry. Try to show compassion. This pain is already unbearable.
If you see Kuma — pink collar and possibly still dragging a 12ft red slip leash — please call or text right away. We just want her home. 💔
