Tula is a very sweet, but very timid nine month old mixed breed. I’d only had her for a few months when on February 18 she became startled on a walk and her leash slipped from my father’s hands. The retractable leash hit the ground and began chasing Tula and she took off out of sight. My family and I looked day and night for two days straight with no sign of her. We filed several lost dog reports, checked all shelters, and made and posted signs. We called Dogs Finding Dogs on the third day and Mary and Lessa came out right away and gave us so many ideas to alert more people that she was missing. For three hours in wind and cold, hiking through snow mounds, Mary and Lessa helped us look all over with only a few traces of a Tula scent. Almost everyday after I got a call from Mary to check to see if there had been any sightings. Twelve days later, I got the best call I have ever received. A wonderful man had been walking his own dogs deep in the woods, about 15 minutes away from where Tula was first scared. His dogs found her tangled in her leash around trees and bushes. He untangled her and took her back to his home and called me right away. Today, Tula is home, safe, and doing great. I am very thankful for all the support Mary and Lessa provided me. And hearing Mary’s voice on the phone when I called to let her know Tula was found was wonderful. You could truly hear how happy she was. Thank you so much for everything you do.
