I went looking for Tara for a couple of hours as I live nearby in Freshwater– no luck. Sorry.

Leiko, as many folks here would suggest, it’s always good to please post Tara’s description and picture just like you did here on Humboldt Paws Cause and check their listings ( http://humboldtpawscause.com/ ) and the found animals at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter, too ( https://humboldtgov.org/377/Animal-Control-Division ). These sites have a wide audience and have proven successful for missing pets.

Good Luck, Leiko and Tara. I wish you both the best. Sigh.

No harnass/collar tags, nor shots tags!!!!!! You southerners/hillies who don’t want to follow public safety protocol deserve these scenarios. Its over and over like a broken record that my dog got loose. Oh Oh Help me find my dog WITHOUT TAGS OR ID!!
This is BS.
So if the dog gets some distance and is found by a tourist or motorist, how are they going to id the dog and get it back to you??? First off, pit bulls aren’t to be trusted so that’ll cause some fear. Big deal you say its friendly? No-[edit] You caused it, you suffer the results.

They were in a car wreck, but I guess empathy is reserved only for… who is it reserved for? Anyone?

What went wrong in your day that made you decide to go online and rant to strangers?

Don’t give up hope. This happened to me,I was rear ended on the freeway in Oakland and the door of my camper shell popped open, my dog ran out, across all the lanes of the freeway, and disappeared. I was screaming and hysterical and the idiot who hit me said, oh, your dog will come home. I said, I live in Humboldt! Anyway, I stayed in Oakland for five days looking for my dog and someone found her her and posted an ad in the paper so we were reunited. Never give up!

Tara was captured the day after we returned from the Oakland children’s hospital where our son received surgery and treatment for injuries from the crash. She got Her taste of the wild out during those 3 weeks and is happy to be a house dog again! Big thank you to everyone who kept her fed and tried to get her. Especially Kathy Mullen!

Thank you Kim for posting. It was a stressful past month being away and stuck in the city. I just needed to focus on my sons health and healing. Now I’m trying to catch up on life but it’s definitely a good time to be back in the mountains! The sound of my roosters crowing is so much sweeter than constant monitor alarms going off in the hospital! I’m finally catching up on sleep as my son continues to heal. Mahalo❤️
