FROM K9 HANDLER SUSAN LONG ABOUT HOPE
Don´t give up
“When I worked my first lost pet case in 2008 in California, I had a preconceived notion about pets that wander away from home or the pet sitter. After having worked dramatic cases in law enforcement, I was pretty skeptical that it would be possible to really help in a lost pet case. It has been so eye-opening and inspirational working with these lost pet Search Dogs and helping people in-person. I have seen it myself – there is so much hope in a lost pet case. There are new techniques being developed all the time, in addition to the “original search engine” – a dog’s nose! What I know for sure is that there is hope if you have a lost pet – don’t give up!”

TESTIMONIAL
“When we lost our dog Wolfie, we were afraid we’d never see him again. We received a few false leads which wasted days of our time searching in the wrong areas. Then, we contacted Susan, and she responded quickly. She encouraged us to stay calm and be patient. Susan and her dogs found Wolfie’s trail immediately. They tracked Wolfie for three days, and gave us a real lead. We soon found Wolfie in the exact area she pinpointed. After being lost for eleven days, our beloved Wolfie is home!”

Tips for Finding Lost Pets in Kentucky:
- Network with churches – ask for them to include your lost pet in the Sunday prayers and on their social media page. Put flyers on car windows in parking lots on Sundays to reach lots of people.
- Talk to your immediate neighbors – don’t just put a flyer in their mailbox. You need to ask them questions and ask for permission to search their property for your lost pet.
- Don’t stop your search too close. In many parts of Kentucky there is farmland and large rural areas. Pets can get further away. Don’t just look close to home.
- Offer a specific dollar amount reward.
- Get the word out – any way you can!
- Visit County Shelters in Person: Shelter listings may not reflect live updates and viewing in person dramatically improves identification chances. Key shelters for Northern Kentucky include Boone, Kenton, and Campbell County Shelters.
