We're so upset and heartbroken. The delivery driver from Lowe's left our gate open and Maggie ran away. We're all heartbroken but I'm especially upset for my boys. If you're the praying type, would you pray she comes home to us safely? Nexdr
Update: Maggie is home. We got her back at about 6:30 tonight (32ish hours after she left). Someone saw her and got my info off our Nextdoor post and called me and then they and our friends and my brother and total strangers from the rescue group we got her from were out trying to find her until we all converged on her and were able to get her. She was in total panic, running in traffic and running from everyone who called her. DH got to her before I did and she even ran from him until she realized it was him. She crossed the freeway overpass and crossed a major street multiple times. She's totally unharmed. Our temperatures were much cooler than they should have been so she's not even overheated.
Thank you for praying with us. She's dirty and exhausted but she's home!!!

Did you call animal control? What kind of dog and what does she look like? Hope you find her.

That kind of thing drives me nuts! It happened to us more than once at our old house. We had a telephone pole at the very back of our lot at no alley so there were always workers coming through our yard to access the pole. We eventually resorted to having to padlock the back gate closed so some idiot wouldn’t leave it open by mistake.
I hope your pup is home safely very soon.

We moved in Oct and in November, out 11 year old pup got out when we didn't realize. Since we were in a new house across town, I guess she really had no sense in direction. She was out for about 3 hours roaming my town, but only about 30 minutes before I realized she was gone until she was home safely (I thought she was up in bed with my husband). I posted on our local Moms group on FB and she was found IMMEDIATELY! Start posting if you haven't! Someone saw her picture on another local Facebook page about missing animals, saw my post, and I was in touch with the people who had my dog w/in 10-15 minutes.
I hope you are just as lucky. Praying your pup is home safe and sound soon!

Definitely post to local FB groups and friends.
We were able to return a dog that showed up & spent the entire day with my FIL, because a mutual friend had posts from both of us with pictures of this Found/Missing dog.
Good luck!

Oh, no! I hope she is found soon and returned. Is she chipped or wearing a collar/tags etc?
Our dog got "kidnapped" from the front of our property because we're out in the country, long drive and can't see the house from the road. The person felt need to "save" him from being lost while actually at home. They did call the non-emergency police number to report it and I was lucky enough to get him back the next day. Call animal control or anything applicable in your area and the non-emergency police number.
Good luck. It is heart wrenching not knowing where they are and if they are safe. ((hugs))

Any news yet? Poor little mite and you too.
DH was walking one of our young dogs on the beach years ago, off leash as there was no one there. A horse rider came up behind them, frightened the dog who took off at speed and kept running because this horse was galloping behind her. The rider didn’t stop and the dog disappeared. Thankfully the police found her and we got her back the next day but we were frantic.

awwww Hopefully you'll have an update for us soon, to say she's back home. I'll tell you one story, something that just happened in my neighborhood last week. In the middle of the night I was woken up (all my windows were opened) by people out in the street calling a dog. Even the 1st grade girl was out calling. They went on up the street calling for the dog. I lay awake awhile imagining my dog lost out in the dark and rain. I heard them on and off for the rest of the night, and still the next morning. Then I didn't hear them out calling anymore so I hoped for the best. As soon as it was late enough (I figured the kids were asleep exhausted) I went down to their house and was greeted at the door by their dog. He was out ALL night in the rain but was found the next day in someone's back yard. Okay, another story... one day a year or so ago, also in the rain in fact, dd rescued a little dog who was stuck in the mud in between two construction fences, that mesh kind that the workers put up to keep mud from washing out of a yard and into the street. As dd was pulling him out a woman was walking by with her dog. She stopped to help, and then took a photo of dd holding the dog. The woman put it up on NextDoor. Meanwhile I posted to our neighborhood listserve. Someone who was on both NextDoor and our listserve said "hmm... that sounds like Bambino"... turns out Bambino had escaped that morning. Someone from the listserve posted a photo of Bambino, the one the owners had put up when he escaped, and sure enough we had him. Happy reunion shortly afterwards. Just two little stories to be encouraging. Definitely post everywhere you can, if you haven't already.

Oh no!!!! That is my biggest fear! We had that happen once at our home in TX. We now have 5 gates, and I keep all of them locked except 3, and I check them everyday. Praying she is back this morning. I ache for your family!

Twice, and in different homes I have had a Poodle and then a black Lab just turn up at my gate and come right in and make themselves at home. This was pre-Facebook days but both were back home with owners the same day. I hope that you soon have your fur face home safe and well.

I am adding my prayers your Maggie is back home soon, safe and sound.
My niece's dog got lost away from home. She followed another dog into his doggy door and surprised the home owner! Fortunately it was a very nice man who called my niece.

No updates She's on every website and facebook group I can find and we've been to the pound twice. I've hung signs and we've gone out looking for her several times. I hung her picture in the starbucks drive thru this morning, hoping people from neighboring neighborhoods will take note, too. Off to go hang more signs...

Ohhhhh.. I am so sorry. Sending prayers for Maggie's quick and safe return. These dogs, why do they do this to us? We love them and give them everything and yet they still feel the need to roam. Hope someone that is truly trying to find her owner found her.

Off to go hang more signs... put some of your dirty clothes outside your door. It’s always recommended locally in our lost pet groups.
