Lost Shiba in Seattle- at The Rainbow Bridge
Hi all, I am just so distraught after getting this e-mail. Candi is a retired, recently spayed show girl who was recently placed in a wonderful home. She still has a shaved tummy and arm. Her lead snap broke and she bolted while on a walk, but thankfully is wearing her collar and is chipped. Anybody in the Seattle area, please keep an eye out. Call the numbers in this flyer or contact Leslie Engen of San Jo Shiba Inu if you see her. We are all so worried for her. Animal control has been contacted, I have called some vet offices, and flyers have been faxed.
"PLEASE HELP US - Candi bolted when her leash broke!
Female SHIBA INU Red/White
Last seen: Wednesday night, June 3, 8:30 pm
Shilshole bike/walking trail – north to Golden Gardens
She headed up the hill toward the dog park. Candi knows the Sunset Hill residential area and the Locks area as well as Shilshole.
Please call if you see/find her.

She is very shy and will not likely come to anyone easily.
She was wearing her turquoise colored limited choke collar with ID tag (she might lose that in the woods) and can also be identified by her shaved tummy from recent spaying two months ago."

Also, I would suggest they post her on there as well...I've known many people who have found their lost pet through CL.
I cross posted on dogster's shiba forum, there are a lot of members in various places there
I know if it were my dog, I'd exhaust every single option..

We even hired a detective, my dad drove everywhere, it was CRAZY. BUT, we found him eventually and my dad drove there to pick him up. All he had to do was call our dog's name by the kidnapper's door and he came RUNNING :D
Really hope the shiba is found soon and brought back home...

From experience we have found it is good to have standby leashes and extra collars. Like horse tack quality does make a difference in safety and duration. Good equipment can last you a long time.
In the past have had a problems where the dog seems to magically become separated from the lead. In actuality the spring/bolt snap clip often becomes snared within the d-ring on the collar because the collar ring is larger than the spring clip on the leash. Basically the leash clip ends up opening if the spring release gets caught in the ring. Make sure both products are matched size wise in terms of hardware. A dinky snap bolt/spring does not really cut it.
Alternatively, we have found for our needs and the more active dogs a marine gate clip works or lock-jaw clip when out and about.

Hopefully, this tragedy will save the lives of other dogs in that we just learned a valuable lesson in leash care/maintenance...I know I will be checking my leads very carefully today and going forward....
RIP little Candi...enjoy those squirrels and all your little Shiba pals as you wait.....
