Giselle is Missing *Update: She's home!

[Giselle]

Please please, if anybody lives in this area, please please please offer a minute or two of your time to help find her.

I was coming back from an agility class with Ivy when I discovered that Giselle was not there. Apparently, my dad left the front door open for just a second and she ran out. He never saw her leave. Nobody has seen her.

Location: Oakland, CA (PM me for the specific area)
Time she was last seen: 9:00 am. She probably ran out between 10 am - 11 am.
Colors: White and Red
ID: No ID of any kind except her racing tattoos :( (I know I know, I'm kicking myself in the arse. I know)
Contact Information: Sophie ([email protected]) PM me for my number.

Please, if you're in this area, please help.

[K9soul]

Oh Sophie :( :( I will be praying my heart out for her safe return.

[Uabassoon]

Oh no! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts that Giselle runs back home soon!

[Mycavyangels]

oh no :( i will cross post this the other forums if u like

[binka_nugget]

Oh my gosh :( Please come home Giselle!

[wolflady]

Oh my god! I wish I was closer to Oakland, but will keep my eyes and ears "peeled" here in the south bay, so if I see or hear of anything about a dog that sounds like Giselle, I'll be sure to let you know.

I hope you find her soon!

**hugs**

[critter crazy]

Oh My!!! Giselle Please come home!! Mommy and Ivy Miss you!!!!

[cyber-sibes]

Prayers for Giselle.
Now turn around & come right back home Sweetie!

[lizbud]

I am so sorry to hear this. :( Prayers from Indy that she is found soon.

[Miss Z]

Oh no, not Giselle! :(

I sincerely hope that she returns home soon, none the worse but wiser after her ordeal.

[luvofallhorses]

Oh no! :( I will pray she comes home safe and sound. (((HUGS))) please keep us updated.

[Karen]

Oh, Giselle! I know you're a sighthound, baby, but please turn your sights towards home!

(You'll be in our prayers!)

[bckrazy]

OMG... Sophie, I am so sorry. You must be unimaginably worried right now, I know how awesome your little girl is, and I know how much she means to you.

=,( I wish I could drive down there right now with Gonzo, and search for her!

I will be praying for Giselle... I love that girl.

[caseysmom]

Oh Sophie I am so sorry. Giselle and you will be in my prayers.

[Almita]

I am so sorry Sophie! I wish i was closer so i could help you. Giselle please come back home! You two will be in my prayers.

[Giselle]

Thank you. Please crosspost this to any and every forum if you wish. I contacted Giselle's adoption group and I'm waiting for a couple local adopters to come and help search for her. I just want Gissie back :(

[caseysmom]

Sophie, have you put flyers up? Maybe you could say she needs meds since she is a purebred that way nobody will try to keep her.

[ramanth]

I'm so sorry she's missing! I hope and pray you find her soon.

[luvofallhorses]

Have you checked with local shelters? she might have ended up there. good luck. I am still praying that she comes home safe and sound! try going door to door with a picture of her and ask if anyone has seen her. I am so sorry. :( I hope she turns up soon! ((hugs))

[Daisy and Delilah]

Oh no!! This is just horrible. :(

PLEASE COME HOME GISELLE!!! Thoughts and prayers going out from Florida right away. I'll light a candle for her safe return home :(

[slleipnir]

I'll be praying she comes come soon!! I'm so sorry to hear this!

[beeniesmom]

I hope she comes back home safe and sound.
How scary....

I just crossposeted this thread on another dog forum I am on a lot.

[Freedom]

I sent you an email with a list of ideas of things to do. It is something I send to everyone who posts a lost dog or cat on craigslist in my state.

I wish for Giselle's swift and safe return!

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Oh no! I am so terrible sorry, Sophie. :( :( :(
I agree with casey'smom on putting up signs, saying Giselle needs meds, and I would also offer a reward, but it's up to you....

I will deffinetly keep you, and Giselle in my prayers.... GOOD LUCK!!

[Alysser]

OMG, I am so sorry. I'll pray for you and Giselle. (((Hugs))) I wish you lots and lots of luck!

[Danegirl2208]

Oh no! :( :( Crossposting to all my forums and praying that you find her soon! :(

[K9soul]

I keep checking back, can't stop thinking of you and Gissie :(. You are living one of my worst nightmares. I wish so much I could do more. :( Sending out heartfelt prayers that Giselle will soon be back in your arms where she belongs.

[dukedogsmom]

I'm so sorry. I hope you find her soon. Whever she is, I hope Giselle is safe and dry. Come back home, Giselle!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Oh no!! I'm so sorry, Sophie. I wish there was some way that I could help! I hope Gissie makes her way back home soon and that she's okay. You, your family, and Giselle will be in my thoughts. (((hugs))) :(

[chocolatepuppy]

Oh no. :( Prayers for Giselle. Please come home.

[Kfamr]

Sophie, I know there is nothing I could say or do to ease your pain and heartbreak right now. The pain and heartbreak is so alive inside of me, I had to squeeze Kiara after reading your post. Especially since next month is the month Kiara took off.

Please let me know if you need any ideas - if you need help making signs in photoshop or something I am here for you. Just let me know your phone number so I can put it on there.

Giselle, please find your way home sweetheart. Your mommy is worried sick.

[Ginger's Mom]

My heart just sank. I am so sorry. I will be praying very hard for Gissie quick and safe return. I wish I could do more to help.

[jennielynn1970]

Oh gosh... I hope she comes home or you can find her soon! Big hugs coming your way... wish I wasn't in PA!

[Giselle]

AHHHHH SHE'S HOME SHE'S HOME SHE'S HOME!!!!!

Thank you all so much for the words of encouragement and support!!! I posted about Giselle on Greytalk, and a member from across the Bay graciously came out here and helped me search for her. They were driving through the area while I was putting up flyers, and then I noticed a "Found Greyhound" flyer. I called the family, and, sure enough, it was Gissie.

Turns out Giselle was following a random jogger when this family found her and took her in. It was so sweet because their little son was crying when he realized that I was going to take Gis away. They don't live very far from here so I'm going to drop off a Thank You card + some treats for their two dogs.

That was the worst seven hours of my life, but I'm glad it ended quickly. I dreaded having to come home and going to sleep not knowing where Gissie was. Thank you all. PT prayers really do work ;)

[chocolatepuppy]

Thank goodness! :D

[Kfamr]

Thank goodness! You are so lucky she isn't skiddish like my Kiki was/is.

Must go post the good news in the other forums I posted on. :)

[jennielynn1970]

Oh that's so good to hear! Whew!!!

[luvofallhorses]

YEAH!!! :D I am so glad you found her. :) how nice of those people to take her in. :) please give Giselle a hug for me. :)

[Danegirl2208]

Whew! Don't scare your mum like that again Giselle! ((hugs)) to you and Giselle! So glad shes home! :)

[Catty1]

YAAAY! That poor little boy - but how great he loves animals! He's been taught well. :)

[Alysser]

Thank God!!

What a great family. That was so nice of them. I am glad Giselle is home and safe from harm. :)

[Cinder & Smoke]

:)

THANKS, God!

Now that the crisis is over -
How about considering Collars, ID Tags, and Licenses to be worn 24/7?

;)

[mike001]

Happy to see you reunited and have the stress of those 7 hrs gone.

[Zippy]

That's Wonderful Giselle is home safe and sound :D

[mr.chiwawa]

Don't forget about the micro chip too those things are a god sent. You can register her throu their website and at all shelters and vet offices too.

[cyber-sibes]

This is te kind of update I'm glad to hear! Pets to Gissie, and a ball & chain around an ankle would be nice too ;) (just joking)

[Daisy and Delilah]

Wonderful News!!! Welcome home gorgeous Giselle :D Don't scare Mom(and Pet Talk) like that again :)

[critter crazy]

Fabulous news!! Welcome Home Giselle!!!

[Karen]

Yay! Sign "from all of Pet Talk" on the card, too.

Oh, Giselle, we already knew you were a greyhound, you didn't have to prove the point by scaring mom half to death!

[bckrazy]

Wow... I'm SO glad you found her! Please give Gissie hugs from all of us, and tell her to never ever wander off again. Gonzo was worried about his girl.

[caseysmom]

Thank god she is home I was so worried about her. Give her a big kiss from me.

[shais_mom]

Thank GOD!!
I know the fright when they take off - My Shaianne was an escape artist.
I'm so glad she was found!! Give her a big hug from me!

[ramanth]

So happy to hear she's home! :D

[caseysmom]

Thank goodness! You are so lucky she isn't skiddish like my Kiki was/is.

Hi Kay, I have missed you, hope you and the muttlies are doing good.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I'm so glad she was found! That's wonderful. :)

[dukedogsmom]

That brings tears of joy to my eyes! I'm so happy she was well cared for and safe.

[CathyBogart]

I missed the scary part, but I'm SO glad to hear that she came home safe. Oakland is not a place to wander alone Giselle!

[Uabassoon]

I'm so glad to hear that she made it home safely!

[Miss Z]

Whew, I'm so glad that she has been found!

[Ginger's Mom]

Well, you have started my day off with happy tears here. I am so happy to hear that Giselle is home. Give her some hugs from me too, please.

[anna_66]

I was very happy to see that although I missed this thread, everything turned out fine:D
Gisselle, your one lucky girl...now don't go running off again;)

[pitc9]

I'm so happy she's back safe at home with you!!!

[K9soul]

This is the first thing I checked this morning. Thank GOD! I am so, so happy for you and Giselle. Please give her hugs and kisses for me? And Ivy too! :D

[Logan]

Whew! I didn't get online this weekend, so I had no idea what was going on. I'm so glad you found her!!! :) That is my biggest fear, not being able to find one of mind.

[k9krazee]

Wooohoo! I thought about Giselle a lot last night and had to check in first thing this morning. So glad she's home where she's supposed to be! :D

[lizbud]

Great news. :) This good news certainly started my day off right. I am
so happy she was found.

[Freedom]

Why does the thought "typical greyhound following a random jogger" come to mind? He he. We can laugh at that image NOW, because she is home safe and sound. So happy for you!

[Flatcoatluver]

Whew! I am so happy she is safe and home! I know that scary feeling!

[gemini9961]

I missed all of this yesterday but I am happy to see that she is safe and at home. Sophie, what an awful day for you but it turned out great. Welcome home Giselle!

[Giselle]

Thank you all :) I'm eternally grateful that the family that found Giselle immediately put up those "found" flyers. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to find her so quickly. As one poster on the other forum said, Giselle is so lucky because she had *two* sets of flyers working for her! :p

I just ordered a breakaway collar plus a CollarTag, so they should be arriving very soon. We're off to drop off the thank you card to the family now. I'm just so so thankful to have miss Gissie back at my side =)

[wolflady]

What great news! I'm so glad that a nice family found her and put flyers up so quickly. Big kudos to them, because it worked! What a relief! :D

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Sophie, I am so incredibly happy that you have your sweet Giselle back home! I have never had one of my dogs run off, but I can only imagine how you felt!

Pet Talk prayers work miracles!!! :) :)

[countrycowgirl]

OMG! how scary!! I am so glad that Giselle is safe and back home with you!!

[ratdogg]

I'm so glad things worked out for you. Its really fortunate that a family that appreciates dogs found her and put up flyers. I'm happy for you :)

[crow_noir]

So happy to hear that you have your Giselle back! :D
