Lucky is missing

[finn's mom]

I hope you find Lucky, that is very sad. I would be making my back yard a lot more secure, as was suggested already. I would also get to know my neighbors. If my neighbor told me that they had four dogs go missing in two years, I'd be helping them watch out for strangers around the yard. Do your dogs not bark when there's someone near the yard? I mean, Finn's not an obsessive barker like Freckles and Dudley are (you can't even be within 100 feet of our house without them going crazy), but even Finn would bark if someone came right up to the fence and it would be insane if someone came into the yard! I would see if maybe you can set your dogs up, too, to see if they are getting out on their own. Maybe watch them from inside and place something irresistable on the other side of the fence to lure them out. Or have someone call them and get them excited and see if there's some way they're getting out on their own. If you decide 100% that there's no way they're getting out by themselves, I don't think I'd be leaving them alone outside for even ten seconds anymore. Four dogs in two years is absurd! How big is your yard? What kind of fencing do you have?

Oh no this is horrible. I would feel like dying if one of my animals ever got lost or stolen, you never know what sick people are out there.

I hope you find Lucky soon, and I agree with everyone else that you should really be posting everything about him everywhere!

I don't have a digi cam so I'm not able to put any on the internet.

Okay, could you answer the rest then, as well as a very good decription of him? Colors/markings/size/ears/breeds/etc.

Don't want to start anything but to me it sounds like you need to either find a new fence or build covered kennels or just fool proof your fence like mad. With the amount of dogs you have, I know things happen, but a lot of the things that have happened with you involve your dogs getting out of your fencing. You've had dogs disappear, get shot, get hit by cars a few times, and one that routinely chases cars because he breaks his chains everyday. Find some better fencing or build kennels and you will find your answer.

I am sorry that Lucky is missing and I hope you can find him again. Is he neutered? Maybe he found some lucky girl he wanted to "date".

color-black
markings-a small white streak on his chest
size-large-lab size
ears-drop-medium size
breeds-lab/golden retriever/samoyed/redbone
temperment-very friendly-would go up to strangers very easily and doesn't really bark at them

I couldn't find anywhere in the fence where he could've got out and the fence is tall enought to keep him from jumping out and would make it difficult for someone to reach over and haul him over it. The only thing I can think of is somebody might have left the gate open by accident but nobody has said that they done that and I'm sure they would have told me.

areias-we can only get the cheapest fencing (some kind of wire ) because we fell on some hard times lately (but I'm not going into that) so building kennels is definitely out of the question. I would gladly sell everything in the house for the money to keep my pets safe but since I live with my parents and they believe that people always come first......I can only do the best I can.
