Help! We lost Kiba this morning!- KIBA CAME HOME!!!
Our dog Kiba (Kai Ken) bolted out the door as we were taking our other dog out. This happened at 5:30AM 12/7/2014. LAST SEEN ON THE CORNER OF NE 90TH STREET AND 177TH PLACE (by Avondale Rd)
He is 25-28lbs, about 17in in height, maybe 25in in length. His fur is medium length. His coat is black with light tan striping (Black Brindle). His tail is long and will either be down but his relaxed tail position is straight up in more of a sickle position over his back. He was last seen wearing a black collar with white and red stripe and with the letters N7 on it, but there is a tag physcially attached to the collar itself (not dangling).
HE IS MICROCHIPPED AND NEUTERED.
Even if you’ve just seen him, please call. I need to know which areas he has been in.

You should probably add something like "Has health issues that require medication". Even if he doesn't have anything wrong with him, it helps reduce the chance of someone keeping him after they catch him.
Edit: maybe not the most reliable source, but I hope this helps. http://m.wikihow.com/Find-a-Lost-Dog

I was told Kai don't really come back even if they are super bonded to you. I just hate that his tracker is on the damn charger and not on him. It would at least have helped us know his general location.
Hoping he comes home soon!
I am hoping that he is just hiding. I do strongly think he is sticking to the area since we did see him come out of a briar patch around noon at a spot across the street from where we live. He is a big hider. He hides in small, compact spaces because they make him feel safe.
What kind of trap? How do I do this?
Thanks for all the advice so far.
Did you just set them up around the area or did you know they were in that spot? I am worried about setting up random traps and then just catching raccoons etc.
Did you also work with animal control or did you already have your own traps?
The suggestion of live animal traps is the best one. You will want to set up the traps in areas that you know he has been or think he will go. Most people work with animal control or private animal trappers to set up the traps (traps are pretty expensive, especially ones large enough for an adult Kai).
I will keep you guys in my thoughts. I hope you are able to find him and bring him home soon.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE JUST CAME BACK! We've only have had him for 4 months and he came back. Our shiba kept barking all night randomly and I thought maybe it was because she kept seeing him, but I kept checking and saw nothing but maybe she was seeing him.
MY KIBA IS BACK AND I CAN'T STOP CRYING.
Sometimes dogs need to think it over and regroup after a panic. The more mature they are in age, often the better a dog is able to think it out. At least you know there is a bond and you can move forward.
All the best to you and keep us posted on his progress
