Help! Our newly adopted dog is missing. He's a terrier mix , about 10 lbs beige with brown spot, has an olive green collar and is microchiped. He's being treated for kennel cough and needs his medication. Lost at 10th and Ripley just north of Railroad Square in Santa Rosa. Please call if you have any info. We are heartbroken.

Before your small animal friend gets lost, get her/him microchipped, increasing the odds of safe return by a factor of ten. If a small animal friend of yours has gone missing, the first thing to do is to start phoning people who hire out the services of themselves and tracking dogs. If the missing individual is a cat, they’ll swear up and down that allowing the dog to track a cat would “ruin” him. Horsepuckey! Refer them to Kat Albrecht’s work, to lostapet.org &/or to me—just insist.
If you absolutely can’t talk anyone into it, get a friend with a dog to sniff the missing cat’s bed, and then try to get across to him the idea of following that scent outdoors. That’s the hard way, but you must get a dog on the scent now—before it’s crossed with so many other scents even a dog can’t follow it. See lostapet.org for further advice and for small-animal retrieval contact info.
