KIRIN IS LOST!!! CALIFORNIA PEOPLE!

curlytails

I'm not familiar with SoCal. I realize there's only so much one can do online, but where might we be able to continue looking?

Orange County shelters? Ann and friends are in the loop on those contacts, I see. I wasn't sure if they post all dogs' pictures on intake.

I thought I read that Corona is in Riverside County. RC shelters? I was scanning these: http://rcdas.org/home/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=225&Itemid=57

Inland Empire Craigslist? Other areas?

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/laf/

And yes, some more info from the the original owner would help... Have fliers been put up at vets, etc.?

Finally, I realize this information has gotten out there very quickly once the poster was made (fabulous work, btw -- very sharp and eyecatching). But I've noticed some statements circulating about her "rare" breed. It doesn't matter if whomever has her can ID her breed, just as long as it's her. If we can avoid attracting attention to the rarity of her breed when trying to get the word out, that might be wise...

I hope something pans out soon.

I do not have any info on the microchip. Let me see if its ok to post that info on here. I appreciate any help I can get.

I do not know where the owners have checked, I my self have not heard from Kirins owners also so I'm working with really limited info. Soon as I find something out I will post up.

Ugh, no one answers at the Riverside shelter. Im really sorry to hear this... @shishiinu.

@curlytails - I left the breed off the poster purposefully, but people seem to be spreading it through text that she's a "rare breed." ~

Saya

I hope no one would be so horrible to keep her because she is rare breed.

I shared the picture and didn't include the breed I know they didn't with Shakko so thought it'd be the same.

I hope someone found her and sees these posters and returns her soon.

Some dogs can travel far maybe post posters in a wider area just in case?

Yeah... Keep the whole "rare breed/Japanese Breed/ Kishu ken" on the down low is the best thing... People are a-holes and will keep the dog or try to sell it of they know its worth money. People steal dogs of people's yards in miami if they know its pure breed...

*JackBurton*

FYI when Yamato was lost LB didn't realize he had a chip. I gave them the number over the phone.

Whoa, just catching up with this. I have a friend in riverside so I'll ask him to pass it along too. Im really not familiar with that county so I have no idea where everything is. I'll be on the lookout though, and help in any way possible. It just sucks that we're finding out so late

ayk

I've found that the best place to catch most of the soCal shelters is www.petharbor.com.

AndrewT1993

I hope you find her. How did you she get lost in the first place?

Sangmort

I looked through the link @ayk provided, for Corona City, CA & this girl popped up...

Hinata23

@Sangmort Looks like her... Close.

Sangmort

Well, Beth found this link with that dog with more pics, http://www.adoptapet.com/pet/8162116-lompoc-california-husky-mix

So maybe not

Sangmort

Another possibility... http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=BSTW.A010013

tho she's fat...& hard to tell with them smooshing her face ~

Sangmort

another one, but no pics... http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=SLOC.A189983 ~

ttddinh

These look like they are far away but who knows? Maybe she I'd get that far.

Sangmort

@ttddinh - I have no idea, so I'm just picking stuff that looks similar to her LOL I typed "Corona, CA" into the search, but no idea how close / far they are. ~

lindsayt

That sucks they waited so long to say anything

Sangmort

@linsayt - I agree...but it doesn't hurt to try. ~

Saya

Sometimes a dog can be found far away from where they ran from.

I'm not from California and never been to the state so can't really judge distance on things.

I really hope she is found soon.

tjbart17

I hate to say this. But has anyone called animal services and checked the deceased list? They log all picked up animals and a chip can be ruined in a hit. I still call every Wednesday for Shakko.

Hinata23

I wish they would've said something earlier... There are a ton of people here who are willing to help them. So sad.

Saya

I agree, but can't do anything about that now.

I really hope she gets found soon.

If she is microchip and was taken into shelter wouldn't they scan her all over when they got her in case she had a microchip?

Hinata23

@Saya When we first got ChoCho we had to re-microchip her because the vet techs and the vet couldn't find her chip. They say that sometimes the muscles move them around. They scanned all of her and couldn't locate it. Even microchips are not a guarantee ID...

Adopt a pet allows you to search by medium Spitz and white coat. A lot of dogs that look like her are populating with "jindo" as the breed.

Very nondescript description, but I just checked Craigslist and this came up:
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/laf/3545074654.html

Never been to California so I don't even know if that's the right area.

shishiinu

Waiting to hear back on one dog that looks like her. Thanks everyone for all the leads!

ttddinh

@trzcina--I clicked on that and the posting was deleted by the author.

Trzcina

@ttddinh Huh, it's still there when I click on it. Hopefully it means they already figured out who the dog they found belongs to or something then, though. It just said "small white dog with pointy ears" for the description.
