*LOST* REWARD!!!
Update as of Wednesday, July 1, 8:00am -
SARAH IS HOME!!! More details on her capture tonite...

Update as of Tuesday, June 30, 8:00pm -
A call from the woodpile lady! Sarah's back to the woodpile behind the church (off of 93rd and Fort)! This is where the lady was feeding her treats last week.
Deb and Tom set up live traps with lots of food in them. They are going to be sure to stay well away from the area so she doesnt bolt again. She made it back across Fort street AGAIN! That little girl must have nine lives.
We are hoping to hear the wonderful news of a trapped wiener dog tomorrow morning. Everyone cross your fingers or say a prayer for Sarah. Hopefully, she will be home in Deb & Tom's loving arms tomorrow.


Update as of Monday, June 29, 1:30pm -
No news is not good news...
Sarah did not revisit the 'live animal trap'. We believe she is still on the SOUTH side of Fort street now. Somewhere between 90th and 100th streets. Probably closer to the Fort side than the Maple side.
Deb and Tom are headed over there after 5pm to put out more flyers. If anyone is interested in helping, give Deb a call so that you can meet up with them and get some flyers - 253-4518
...or, you can just cruise around and look for her. Please call them if you spot her. Please dont try to catch her...that will just send her off into a new direction.


Update as of Sunday, June 28, 10:45am -

The Search party had no luck in the mapped out area that we were searching - between 90th, Fort, Maple, and Interstate 680.
That neighborhood now has 500 flyers on cars and in mailboxes and dozens of colored, laminated posters on poles.
Less than an hour after the search party disbanded, calls started to come in with sightings! The sightings were from people in the neighborhood just NORTH of Fort! We were searching south of Fort. Those residents must have passed through our "papered" neighborhood...so it was definitely worth the effort.
One man saw a longhair black dachshund (he was absolutely positive...not iffy at all about the breed) eating out the the trash on Wed. One woman has seen her at a church, twice, and tried to approach (she took off like a flash) and the best lead came from a woman who said she saw her by a woodpile (near the church)
Deb and Tom talked to the nearest residents. A woman had been putting out doggy bisquits for her and she had been hanging out in a yard that backed up to the church field.
To make a long story short... Deb and Tom found her...BUT... it was not that easy. She had turned feral : ( They couldnt catch her. (that must have been heartbreaking) They went home to get her dog bed, bowl, house, and a humane animal trap. When they returned, she was still there. She approached, but then turned and TOOK OFF LIKE A FLASH AND CROSSED FORT STREET (FOUR OR FIVE LANES OF TRAFFIC AT 2PM ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON!!)
The last update I received was that they are hoping she will return (..back across Fort street :( to the area where the woman was feeding her and the trap will secure her. The woman will be watching the trap closely for them. With a woodpile, they just might catch a 'coon or a woodchuck! ..or, God forbid, a skunk!
I'll update later on this evening...

I would highly recommend to anyone out there who sees a dog that just looks lost...to either try to coax it to you to read its tag or at least call the NHS and tell them when and where you saw it. It could be somone's elusive "Sarah" and might mean the world to them and would make a huge difference in that dog's (and family's) lives. It will most likely save the dog's life.

Last sighted on 94th and Fort

Sarah

One of our rescued dachshunds Sarah, is lost. She was rescued by NDR from a bad breeding/puppy mill situation and adopted by her family last fall. They absolutely adore her and are grief-stricken, as you can imagine if it were your special dog. I have lost an animal and I can tell you the anguish of not knowing where they are or what might be happening to them is absolutely horrible. The worst goes through your mind, and you come to realize you would do anything to find them.
Sarah is very sweet and very shy, and has been lost and on the run almost 3 weeks. Her owners, Deb and Tom, have exhausted every resource they can – they consulted a professional pet finder, and John from HUA brought his scent dogs up at no charge to track Sarah’s trail. They have put many posters out and advertisements around town and on Craig’s List. Their family has searched for her every day, only to come up empty-handed and frustrated. Though there have been several reported sightings of Sarah in the neighborhood she was lost in, no one can catch her - not even her dad Tom. From what we can piece together, she has not traveled far, and is most-likely hiding under a deck or bushes or in the wooded area. We believe there has been enough rain the past few weeks to keep her hydrated, and that she has enough body fat to last a while, but we are worried time is running out for this sweet, terrified girl. The high heat and humidity is also a concerning factor.
This is why we need your help. If every volunteer could band together in a united effort to find Sarah, if we all work together to comb the neighborhood and spread the word to the folks who live there, we may be able to make a difference. There is strength in numbers, and pet owners are some of the most dedicated and supportive people I know.
We will be meeting this Saturday, June 27th at 10:00am, at the United Methodist Church at 3535 Maplewood Blvd, which is in the middle of the two neighborhoods where she was sighted. We will go as long as we can – however long you can stay is appreciated. If you are able to help, even for a few hours, it would really make a difference.
