Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

*URGENT* Senior Lost Dog – Troy, MI

LADY1This sweet little Lhasa mix is Lady.  She is 13 years old and only about 13-13 lbs.  Last Wednesday night she darted out of the house when something caught caught her eye and hasn’t been seen since.  This is a desperate plea going out to anyone in the Troy, MI area or anyone who has contacts in that area.

Lady’s pet parent is one of our own dear FTLTD friends, Peggy Juliann and Peggy has been searching night and day in the frigid MI weather for Lady even though her own health is not the best and is getting worse for the stress and worry.

Please, I ask you, can you help to get this information out!  A little dog like Lady’s chances get worse every hour if she’s out in the winter weather.

Below is a pic of the flier that is being handed out with all the info as well as en email address that’s been set up specifically for anyone with info on Lady.  You can also download the flier PDF – HERE, just right-click and save to your computer.

It’s been posted on Facebook on the FTLTD page – HERE – if you’d like to share it on your profile, just click the share button there.

Peggy’s asked that this doesn’t get posted on Craigslist or place like that because of unscrupulous people out there who may try to take advantage of the situation although she’s already got it set up how to meet people safely.

Thank you all for your attention and consideration.  Please help to bring Lady home to Peggy for Christmas, you can imagine this would be the best present she could possible get!

And I’m sure all our friends living in your area will be getting the word out ASAP.My wish for Christmas has just changed to seeing that you and Lady have been reuinted.

  • Sam

    Sorry, I meant reunited !!!

  • Oh Peggy. I’m so incredibly sorry this has happened. I’m praying hard that a kind stranger has taken your baby in and will see one of the posters and give you a call. Big hugs.

    Oh Peggy, my dear. I have sent a prayer up to God to send sweet Lady back into your home and arms, save and sound. Please keep the faith. Bonnie is probably right, that someone found her and is keeping her safe and warm. I’m so sorry Peggy. Please son’t get yourself sick over this…it won’t help Lady, when she gets home and mommy is sick. Love and prayers are being sent strongly to you and Lady…..

    Dear Blog commentors

    Thank you so much for your thoughts, your prayers, your Christmas wishes and your caring and loving hearts. Thanking D for all she has done to get the word out as well as the many fellow rescuers in my area and even those like many of you who are far away, but send positive thoughts. We have not found her as yet and have about exhausted avenues of search methods.

    Today we spoke with a Pet Psychic, who has had some success in helping to locate lost pets. She felt that she had communcated with Lady and gave us some ideas of how to narrow the search. And according to the psychic an “older lady” has her in her home, and that she is not hurt, and is warm and being fed and taken care of but wants to come home. So if this is accurate, our work now focuses on trying to find said house. I will be sure to post when there is news. I truly thank each of you for your thoughts and prayers. If you want other info, updates or have ideas you can e-mail to lostlhasa@aol.com

    Bless each and everyone of you. In addition, I would like to add my support and encouragement to do whatever you can, for Christmas, and for every day for shelter animals. That is part of our search, Checking the shelters every two days for Lady and seeing all of the wonderful animals just waiting for a home and so in need. Donations, volunteering to walk, play with, clean, encourage adoptions, FOSTER and most of all work to end euthanasia of shelter aniamals in your state. This can be done through SPAY NUETER programs and laws, stronger and more proactive adoption strategies, humane education programs and constantly making the public aware of the dire need and what really happens in shelters. One other law would be of great help in saving animals in shelters. That would be to eliminate animal limit laws in your community. For all of us who love dogs and animals and are able to take them in and provide for them, living in a community that has limit laws only adds to the euthanasia rate.

    I am praying that you find your baby safe and sound

  • Susie

    Peggy, I am so behind in my posts. I have been praying for both you and Lady every day, and know you must be frantic with worry and concern. But remember, our prayers do help! If your psychic is right, at least she is being kept warm and fed, and He has sent you that little lady to be a Guardian Angel for both you and for Lady.

    I will keep you in my prayers.

  • Peggy Juliann

    My sincerest thanks to each of you for both the moral support as well as the prayers. I also need to remember that when I was praying so hard for her that I also prayed to God that if she could not come back to me that He would see that she was safe, and warm and loved on this earth. If what the pet psychic says is true it seems that prayer has been answered, and that is all I can ask for. It may be that this “older lady” needed her more than I did. So in addition to praying that she come home, my greater one is that she is safe and well and loved and happy. God Bless you all as well a D for all her work and support and care. D was the wonderful one who did the lost flyer for me.

    Has there been an update on this? Has Peggy been reunited with her beloved furry baby?

    • Admin - Deanna

      Ashley, sadly, no not yet but I know she hasn’t given up looking and hoping and praying. Thanks so much for asking though.
      D.

      Hi Ashley

      Thank you for your concern and your post. As D wrote, no Lady has not come home, and she has not been found, or even sighted and other than a door to door FBI search we have done about all we can think of. I am still going to the shelters in the area every other day, and am going to pay to have one more round of LOST DOG calls made from the FINDTOTO or LOSTSDOG service this Tuesday. I am going to expand the area called….. That and praying that Lady is safe, loved and happy with someone is all that we can think to do. Thanks so much for you care and thoughts. It really does mean a lot for the concern that fellow dog lovers, rescuers and those who treasure their fur, feather, fin and other friends have shown. Bless you. Peggy

      • Ashley

        Peggy,

        You have my sincere condolences. I can’t even fathom the thought of being separated from my beloved Hook. Please know that if I was in your area, I’d be knocking on doors every day helping you and Lady be reunited. Please consider contacting your local media to get the word out to others as well. You and Lady are in my thoughts, and it is my sincere hope that you and your beautiful furry baby are reunited soon and that as you said, for right now, she is safe and loved.

        • Peggy Juliann

          Thanks Ashley, we have tried the media, they have been very nice and I can see it from their perspective,,,in the large metro area that I am in (Troy is a suburb of eEtro Detroit) if they did that for one they would have to do that for all, and as much as it breaks my heart, I know that there is that side. I can just

          We have posted, police, amber pet alert (that covers every police, shelter, vet, pet supply, etc in a 100 mile radius)blogged, FaceBooked, rescue groups, mailbox to mail box flyers in my area, neighborhood watch internet poster post in the entire neighborhood right next to me, even had police patrol officer who was also a rescuer do patrols and extra searching in my area, even a pet phsychic pet detective, and a one round of lostdog calls. And of course the ongoing shelter checks. So we are at the praying mode and really at what I started out with,that if God did not bring her back, He at least made sure she was safe, loved and happy.

          Like you and so many others, I always said I just did not know what I would do if I lost any of them (lost not died). Now I know, your heart breaks, you learn how kind fellow animal lovers and rescuers can be, and you work on surviving from day to day, because there really is not much other choice, and you lean a lot on God for strength and faith. Thank you so much for you care and concern. Peggy
