Yes Randi....we think that is what has happened.
The only sighting of her was on the first day that she got out. About three blocks from where she got out. It was by some lawn care people at a house. Judy goes there everyday and tries to get a hold of the people that live at the house, but they never come home. She asked neighbors and she gave her their number and she leaves messages and they do not call her back. No one will give her the name of the lawn care busines, either. The ones that told a neighbor that they saw her. All very odd. I am starting to believe that someone has her as well.
A local radio station put out an alert for her as well.
Being that it is a populated area, there would have to be a sighting. I am pretty sure that someone must have her. We just have to wait to see if someone comes forward with her. Hopefully she is being taken care of.
I know this is no consolation Danielle,but I have been in contact with Barb,as good friend of mine that has a rescue in the Palm Bay area.A good friend of Barb's is an animal control officer.
There is a 98% possibility,that someone has this dog,and they are not budging with info.I'ts Barb's experiance,that with a dog as such...people keep pretty mum about finding them.
Shelties are not a real common dog to see roaming,and with the possiblility they "know" there is a good chance she is micro-chipped..they are'nt going to take her to a vet to have her scanned.I'ts sad to think that someone would intentionally keep her from her safe return to her rightful owners.
It would be nice to think,that everyone is an honest Abe,but it's a very good possibility she is in the possession of someone even as we read this post.
Our only hope,is that she is being taken care of,I know a hard pill to swallow,since she is not at home where she belongs.
One can only hope,that some honest person may read or hear about her being missing,and they have possibly seen her in someones yard,and report it.
