Be on the Lookout for These Three Lost Dogs

12512122_10207272400321261_1892562316_n
Dasey, Moose and Polo (pictured in order from left to right) escaped from a new home on Briceland Road January 7. They were seen on the 8th near a neighbor’s home but have not been seen since.

Dasey is a one-and-one-half-year-old female (blue & white) last seen wearing a brown leather collar. Moose is a one-year-old male (white with cropped ears.) He was last seen with no collar. Polo (fawn colored with a white chest) is a four-year-old male last seen without a collar. All three are not fixed.

The dogs are used to living indoors. They aren’t from Southern Humboldt.

“There is a Large Reward!,” says a family member of the owner. “These PitBulls are very sweet, loving, spoiled family members and must be very scared! …They were only on our property for 4 days before they broke out and took off. These dogs must be very scared, cold and hungry!”

Please contact Prairie at 707-223-0613 ..707-223-0516 if you have any information.

Neither one of you are open minded at all. You’re being VERY JUDGEMENTAL about another family’s heartbreak., which I might ad, you know absolutely nothing about. Go find a hobby or something,
you must be terribly bored…

…”which I might ad, you know absolutely nothing about”

Well, we know that they allowed three young, large, unaltered male woodchippers to escape into a rural area. Dogs that are young enough to revert to natural instincts, which means a marauding pack of 100 pound meatheads roaming the hills. I truly hope these loving pets are found before they die from exposure or rip apart some other family’s pets or child.

Wreckless and irresponsible. SCAREDY cat pitbulls eat grown men. Just one of them kill before a whole household of people can get them to let go.. so the police are always called.. just like you call the DNR if a Bobcat attacks. Keep the pictures and let the authorities know if they find dead bodies of livestock or pets. Feral pitbulls are a very expensive and dangerous problem growing across the USA. This is yet another person proving that they can’t keep pitbulls as inside pets. THEY GET LOOSE and then what? We have laws calling for special containment of Lions and tigers, and bears and oh my they don’t kill as many people as pitbulls do.

Well, actually, my name is Kelsie Ellis. These are my dogs. My lovely mother put her name on the flyer because she is more well known in So. Hum. My phone number is also on the flyer. She grew up in southern hum, I was also raised there. definitely not new. As it says, the dogs are new to the area, NOT the owners. The dogs had all been living up north for over a year. These dogs are SPOILED rotten. Judge all you want. Maybe have a little compassion. It’s pretty stressful for me and my family as well.

We are the very model of the modern dumb-ass pet owners. (Tip o the hat to Gilbert and Sullivan)
No collars, no neutering…. One might speculate that they haven’t been vaccinated either.

Hi “Alex”, these are my dogs. Sorry, no you’re incorrect. They are vaccinated. They are registered at the sunny brae vet(probably better than the vet you take your pets to, if you even have any). Also sorry again, you clearly don’t know how it feels to THREE dogs at once. The stress of knowing people like you would love to bring nothing but negativity to this situation. It sucks. These are the most loving pups. You probably wouldn’t have much to say if they were anything other than pits. Keep hiding behind the screen, bashing pet owners you know nothing about.

“The dogs are used to living indoors”
Yeah. Doggies aren’t meant to be only indoors.
It also makes me wonder if they were walked around at all beforehand. I know that’s the first thing I did WITH THE CAT so the kitty would know what outside of home smelled like, and looked like, in case it got loose. Guess whose cat, when it got out, could be found on the door mat.
Dogs are smart, too: if they know what to look/smell for.

These are my pups. They actually love going on walks! We took them to the beach/River all the time. They love water. And my boyfriend took them on walks around town up north all the time before we moved back home to so. Hum. They always had a huge yard to run around all day, the indoor comment was meaning they slept indoors.

Better hope they haven’t been shot. People don’t take kindly to 3 loose pits. And not fixed, no collars, please be more responsible. Call Humbodlt fence Co. and fence a large area so ur pets and others will be safe.

Yes, they were caged in a super sturdy 400$ kennel with heating pads and a big igloo for the night. They got to play in the day time. We are pretty responsible pet owners, thanks. Everyone makes mistakes. yes, they should have been chipped, but is that going to locate them in the woods? No. Daisy had a purple color on with a tag.

Another group of “breeding” pitbulls making puppies that fill the county dog pound due to irresponsible “owners”
There were two incidents with a un-neutered male pitbull mauling two different labradors here in Redway last month, Sheriffs were contacted but can’t do anything until a third “incident” happens, so another dog has to get mauled before this will be taken care of legally….
Supposedly the “guard dog” got out when the front door was kicked in from five “home invaders” that robbed the house and took off in the middle of the day on a saturday! Dog ran right past the invaders on down the street and began trying to kill a nearby Lab. $1000’s in vet bills, owner said he’s real sorry but he makes $$$ breeding the pitbull. Great genes to be passing on, does nothing to the robbers and attacks a perfectly peaceful bystander….

Among others that may or may not be reported. It isn’t up to property owners to report damages. But it is up to owners to be responsible for their canine.

As said before, they are not guard dogs. They’re best friend was my angora rabbit. I have videos of polo kissing with fluffy rabbit Walter. Looks can be deceiving. These are pets. And as for the breeding comment, yes. Moose the white male was going to be bread when he was old enough. And that is because he is from LA and to clear up the whole assumption of the dogs ending up in pounds, 10 people had already asked to be on a waiting list for puppies if we ever did decide to breed him. Because he is so beautiful, not to mention SWEET. They are all sweet.

Dear, “joanieq”. These dogs are lost in the woods. Hope people don’t randomly let their toddlers run around in the woods. But as I said, they are family dogs and are NOT going to attack any small children. That’s tragic what happened to that poor baby. But it is irrelevant to the fact that my dogs are loose, OUT OF TOWN.

Had a “yard” dog. Never got more than the end of a short driveway away from the house. Brought a new pup home and as soon as the pup could run they did. Regardless of breed “more than one on the run”. After all they are pack hunters at heart.

If your dog’s were fixed they would not want to roam. These large dogs will act like a pack and could be very dangerous to livestock and humans. I have Pit Bull crosses that are fixed and you couldn’t get them to run off even when the gate is open. I hope you find them before anyone gets hurt. Collar and chip your dogs! Good luck 😉

This is not actually true, they would never had ran if they were at our house up north. It is the mistake I have made my taking them out of their territory while moving homes. They all have collars but only one had one on the night they got out. Yes, they should have been chipped.

This saddens me greatly. I wish newcomers and visitors were more informed about rural reality for dogs. Only a well trained and neutered dog can be somewhat dependable to stay home, unfenced. And even fixed dogs will run if they find a pack. The temptations to leave you in chase after wildlife can lead to irrevocable events. Once loose they are so hard to find and catch. The damage they can do, and the confusion of being lost are all sad outcomes. So sorry, hope you find them. Please everybody, think things through when you own a dog and come to the wildlands. I’m so tired of lost dog stories. They break my heart. Good luck.

So yeah, not positive but I hope it helps 🙂 and this was right by the cemetery coming into Garberville from Redway

Nothing nice going on in here, sheez! Let’s remember that dogs are just that, dogs and sometimes they get loose. I’m not a pit bull fan but they are still lost dogs. I wonder if there would be the same negativity if it were 3 black labs or hound or cattle dogs lost? It’s obvious its just all a bunch of negative opinions, see alot of that these days. This goes back to a simple lesson we all learned in pre-scchool, if you don’t have nothing nice to say, don’t speak! I see some of the people making comments here must have missed that lesson….
