Kiwi’s Missing Pet Help

06/16/2024

⭐️⭐️Hi everyone,⭐️⭐️
This is not spam and if not allowed please remove. This is kind of long and I’m sorry about that, but please take the time to read my story and PSA.

So last year this week someone let my service pug Kiwi out of my backyard. We searched for her for over a week and a half and then after all the horrific prank calls and scammers and would be thief’s and muggers, I found my beautiful sweet girl. Kiwi had passed due to exposure and drowning. She died in a street water run off ditch. She was there for over a week when I found her broken and decaying body. I was able to collect her remains and get her cremated. She is home where she belongs and is very loved. She is with me on my nightstand and I still talk to her daily. Truth be told I love(d) Kiwi more than some family members. To this day I struggle with her loss and all the emotional trauma and guilt that goes with it. But I found her and I brought her home.

I very rarely leave the house now, I struggle with extreme anxiety and depression and severe PTSD (not brought on by her passing). She was my service Pug for a reason, and I miss her daily.

Since then my wife has got me a lil black pug named Enzo. He is wonderful in his own way but I’m waiting for him to become more calm so he can be with me more and not into everything lol. He brings me joy and a lot of love but he really needs to calm down lol. Anyways to keep him from the horrible pain Kiwi and my family were in a year ago and still endure, I got Enzo and my other dog Oscar a Fi GPS collar. It uses WiFi, cellular network from the major carriers and satellites to locate your dog within six feet anywhere in the world. The collar is tied into a 72 satellite network. The collar will notify you when they leave your yard or any other safe zone you make and it has live tracking. It also keeps track of your dogs steps, walks, sleep and other things.

Currently Amazon has the Fi series 3 collar for $189. But they will give you a 30 day trial and a FULL YEAR OF SERVICE FREE!!! That is a better deal than I got a year ago, I only got 6mo free.

Now truth be told sometimes it does glitch out and will send you a random escape text or it will notify you like 20 mins after the dog has left home and is in a walk or something. But that doesn’t happen often and the tracking is spot on and is displayed with maps and directions and fastest route to help you get to your pup. You can add people that also get the notifications and you can add dog walkers, owners and other people like kids, friends or even neighbors. It will tell you the nearest vets with all their contact info and dog parks where ever you are. It even connects to your workout app Strava. Oh and let’s not forget you can share whatever to your instagram or your dogs very own instagram social media account. It’s awesome. The Fi app can also track multiple dogs with their own collars.

Anyways I just wanted to let you know my story and this good product and hopefully keep you from the heartache, guilt and pain I feel daily.

Here is the link if you are interested. Oh and the collar stays charged for like 30+ days and when you are using the gps or at night the collar has a light to help you see and find your pug when it’s dark out. When your pup is lost and the collar is using all of the tech, the battery will drain faster and last upto 24 hours on a full charge. That’s why I use it. The long battery life.

Here is the link: I will also try to put it in the comments so it’s linked to Amazon.

This is a true story. This past summer I lost my Service Pug kiwi, as kids let her out of the yard. I found her in a road water runoff ditch. She had died she was bloated and decaying. But I was able to bring her home where she belongs. I have not been the same since. I will never forgive myself for not finding her alive and for not knowing about this collar. All my dogs have this collar now as I never want to go through that pain again.

Please get your babies a Fi Collar. It uses wifi, cell and gps to locate your dog within 10 feet. It’s super cheap and is awesome. I test them every week. I don’t want anyone to experience the pain I’m going through six months later.

Here is where you can get one. Use my code to save $20 and get one month of free membership at activation 🐶

I absolutely love this collar! It’s super affordable, and the rechargeable battery lasts up to 3 months. I can track the fitness of Enzo and locate him within 10 feet anywhere in the US even if there is no Cellular Network.

Instantly track your dog’s location and monitor their activity. The world’s first collar with LTE technology, and 3-month battery life means less charging.

What to do when your pet goes missing

your posts should and needs to include ALL of the following info.
Day, month, date, year, time, neighborhood, cross streets, city, state, county, zipcode that your furbaby is missing from so your post gets to people in your area and better chance of being reunited. If you post on other sites include all the info too. Do NOT include microchip numbers!!! I recommend setting up a Google Voice phone number and using that instead of giving out your real phone number. This way after you find your pet you can shut it off and end the endless stream of prank and scammer calls. It comes with voicemail, caller I’d and all the goodies for free and it’s super easy to set up. Here is that link. https://voice.google.com/u/0/signup

List on PawBoost asap and PetFBI
Notify the company you registered you microchip and Flag as missing. Do not include microchip numbers on flyers or website posts, just that they are chipped.

Get flyers and signs out as fast as possible.

Contact veterinary practices in your area. They may have a Lost and Found bulletin board in their offices. Read the “found” ads, and take out a “lost” ad in the newspapers. If your neighborhood permits, post fliers in the area where you lost your pet. Here is a website that took me forever to find but it’s gold as it has all the Vet hospitals and info along the entire front range.

Here are other ways to search for your lost dog:
* Check your environment. A small dog may get scared and hide under a bed or another tight space that helps them feel secure. Look carefully inside your home and retrace your steps if your pet follows you into a room and gets stuck on the other side of a closed door.
* Grab your dog's leash, a wrinkled bag (like a plastic shopping bag or potato chip bag), and some enticing treats (like pieces of a hot dog), then knock on your neighbor's doors. Let them know that your dog is missing and how to contact you if there's a sighting.
* Take a walk in your neighborhood. Maybe your dog wandered to a neighbor's yard to check out an exciting smell or followed the scent of a pup a few blocks away. This is where the crinkly bag and enticing treats will come in handy.
* If you see your dog, remain calm. Try to lure them to you with the sound of the bag and the scent of food, using these calming signals pet detective Kat Albrecht of Missing Animal Response Network. Do not call your dog — even if you spot it. This can seem counterintuitive, but calling a dog can cause it to run from you. Do not chase your dog. This can either add to your dog's fear or turn into a game, potentially causing your pet to travel farther than they had before.

* Visit your local animal services, animal control agency, or animal shelter. An in-person trip is preferable, so you can look for your lost dog, share a photo and give them your contact information (with a backup contact if you miss a call). Remember: you're searching for the person who's found or spotted your pet, so getting the word out is key.
* Check to make sure your dog's microchip information is up to date so the person that finds your pet can reach you quickly if they're brought to a shelter or veterinarian's office and scanned.
* Continue to spread the word and ask others to help you do the same. Try placing large, brightly colored posters in well-trafficked areas near your home using simple, easy-to-read phrasing like "Lost dog. Please help." Include your phone number and a picture of your missing best friend.
* For an easy flyer template you can print at home, upload your pet to Petco Love Lost and visit your dashboard to print your pet listing. Get the word out on Facebook, Facebook Groups, Ring Doorbell Neighbors, Nextdoor, and Craigslist.
* Post on social media through lost pet pages or groups on platforms like Facebook or Nextdoor, and ask others to share and spread the word.

Is your dog microchipped? If so, the odds are in your favor. According to an American Veterinary Medical Association study, dogs without microchips were returned to their families 21.9% of the time, while microchipped dogs returned 52.2% of the time.
Even dogs found 600 and 1,000 miles from their homes were reunited with their families thanks to their mighty microchip. If your pet's microchipped, ensure that your contact info is up to date in your microchip registry, and make sure you're ready to provide proof of ownership.
We know it's upsetting to discover that part of your pack is missing, but there is hope. Try to stay calm, put these ideas into practice, and visit Petco Love Lost to help and bring your best friend back home.

A lot of this info came from Petco Lost Love website.

Here are websites to check to see if your pet has been found and to report them lost. The best I have seen is
24petconnect.com. You can search for your pet upto 200 miles and get results from most of the shelters and rescues in the state and beyond. You can also filter by breed or dog size or what kind of animal you are searching for. The site gets update every 20 mins so be sure to check several times per day. Be sure to check the sites and groups that rehome pets for a fee. Some people steal or find lost pets and sell them instead of returning them to their homes. So check sites like Craigslist and Facebook Groups.

Here are some sites to check out. I think these are the best ones but there are a ton of them and they most likely are one that can even do more for you. But I don’t know about that.
