📣 DO NOT CHASE OR YELL after a lost pet!!!! You see us say this alllllll this time right?

💜 THIS video shows you WHY!!!! (**This is NOT a rescue we helped on, we are simply sharing) Here is great video that shows a dog in fight or flight survival mode even when she is face to face with her owner!!!!! Rhemi was lost for over a week.......watch how she runs back and forth from her owner and is still very skittish and scared. Mom is doing calming techniques and staying still and letting the dog come to her!! Its amazing to see the dog come out of survival mode once she gets close enough to smell her mom!! They are still so confused and scared and unsure...then, bam- SAFE!! This is VERY typical of a lost dog and why we stress CALMING TECHNIQUES when you see a lost pet. (See comments to learn about Calming Techniques)

⁉️Ever wonder why lost pets are often difficult to find? Want to know why dogs run run run nonstop and why cats hide when they are lost? Because when pets are lost, their typical behaviors and personality often changes as they go into FIGHT OR FLIGHT SURVIVAL MODE!!! When dogs go missing, their instincts are to run and they think everything is "hunting" them, yes even their owners. When cats go missing, their instincts are to hide in silence!!

❌Things we hear often from owners BEFORE the pet is found safe:
"My dog is bonded to me and will come right when he sees me"
"My dog is so well trained and will come when he hears me yelling his name or whistling"
"There is NO way that my dog will run from me when she sees me"
"No no I don't have to do calming techniques because my dog loves me and will come right away when she hears me"

✅ Things we hear often from owners AFTER the pet is found safe:
"Wow I am so glad I listened to you and did calming techniques when I saw her"
"I shouldn't have done it my way and yelled and chased after him bc it only made him run further away"
"It absolutely blows my mind that my dog wouldn't come to me when she saw me"
"Calming techniques WORK and saved my dog!!!"

Update on the stolen puppies

Update on the stolen puppies

Update 8/27 at 1:00 p.m.: We have gotten several tips regarding the puppies that are unaccounted for, and we appreciate all the information that has been sent to us. Please note that the Craigslist ad for Doberman puppies in the Colorado Springs area is legitimate. The breeder for that site was cooperative with investigators and is in no way involved in this case.

Original post 8/26 at 4:00 p.m.: Update regarding Paul Peavey's homicide investigation: Due to the ongoing investigation, we have not been able to provide information related to Mr. Peavey's Doberman puppies until now. We can confirm that many puppies are unaccounted for, possibly as many as 10, and we are asking for the public's help in the following ways:

1. The unaccounted for Doberman puppies may have been sold through social media sites or by other means since Tuesday, August 20. All of Mr. Peavey's puppies are microchipped. Anyone who purchased a Doberman puppy in the central Colorado area within the last week is encouraged to check the puppy for a microchip and contact the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office at 303-679-2393 or [email protected]. We would then be able to determine if the puppy was one of Mr. Peavey's.

2. Anyone who purchased a puppy through Mr. Peavey’s business, Elite European Dobermans (https://eliteeuropeandobermans.com/), since June 2024 is also asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at 303-679-2393 or [email protected]. Please contact us if you received the puppy that was purchased or if you did not receive the puppy. This will help us determine exactly how many puppies are unaccounted for.

Locating Mr. Peavey's unaccounted for puppies may also help solve his homicide. Anyone with information is asked to call 303-679-2393, email [email protected], or submit a tip anonymously through our website at https://bit.ly/CCSOCrimeTips.

This is the official post about the murder of the man in Clear Creek as well as his missing Doberman puppies.
08/26/2024

This is the official post about the murder of the man in Clear Creek as well as his missing Doberman puppies.

The Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), with assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the 5th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, is investigating the death of Paul Peavey, DOB 3/10/67. Mr. Peavey had last been heard from on the night of August 19 and was reported missing the evening of Wednesday, August 21. Just before noon on Saturday, August 24, a privately organized search party discovered the body of an adult male. Later that day, the Coroner’s Officer confirmed the identity of the decedent to be Mr. Peavey. The Coroner’s Office will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of Mr. Peavey’s death.

Mr. Peavey was a breeder of Doberman dogs. It was reported that many Doberman puppies were missing from Mr. Peavey’s property. The puppies’ whereabouts are part of the ongoing investigation. In addition, investigators have not yet determined a motive for Mr. Peavey’s death. The Sheriff’s Office is sharing this information to help dispel some rumors related to the investigation, and specifically to the areas of the investigation mentioned here.

The investigation is in its very early stages. Additional information that does not compromise the investigation or future court proceedings will be released as it is confirmed. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number at 303-679-2393, or submit a tip via email at [email protected] or via the CCSO website at https://bit.ly/CCSOCrimeTips.

Our WHY!!

​We started Summit Lost Pet Rescue because searching for lost pets has been a passion of Melissa & Brandon's for many years! We both have unofficially searched for lost pets for the past few years, before we teamed up last fall on Outlaw's rescue on Vail Pass. Melissa initially volunteered with Summit County Animal Control & Shelter and fell in love with the shelter animals. She assisted Animal Control and Shelter staff with many lost dog searches around the county and was heavily involved with the searches for Jackson in Summit Cove, Lucy in Keystone, and Chevy at Herman's Gulch. When they were all found safely, she knew her passion was to find lost pets!! Brandon initially started Summit County Loves Their Pets to help find lost dog Brody. This page grew in popularity among all animal lovers in the county, and people starting sharing posts about lost pets and it just took off with lost pet searches.

​Brandon & Melissa started working together unofficially on many dog searches over the years and we decided we could better help our Summit community find more lost pets if we teamed up and started this nonprofit! We are so grateful for the Summit County Animal Shelter & Staff's partnership as well as the community's support and volunteers who help in our searches. It truly takes a village! We couldn't have started this nonprofit without the help of Doug Zidel, Andria Pyn and John Carver. Their hard work and dedication to our mission made this become a reality for us! We look forward to serving our pet community more as we grow and reuniting more lost pets with their families!
