My concern is the leash. I would certainly walk through any wooded areas where she could be stuck. She may not bark if she is a shy fearful dog. It is a sad situation in this heat. Also, the other dog may be a help in finding her. My prayers are with her. Please let us know when they find her.

Default Lost Italian Greyhound

Thank you for your concerns- She does not respond to a name . he fact of her collar and leash are important as she would not be missed. Neighbors have searched Holes 1,9 and 8 of Lopez- Ashley Meadows.

She was running South from Green #1 Ashley towards Buena Vista- It was so dark and she is so small she could not be seen. Hopefully, your concerned effort may find her for us. Thank You

Default Any luck yet?

I have been trying to come up with ideas, since I feel useless and cant help being STUCK UP HERE IN NY.
I am sure you have already thought of this, but I was wondering if you put posters up in all the offices of the golf courses, and all the post offices...heck put them everywhere for that matter. Eventho she disappeared on that one golf course, they can travel alot of territory, so she may be wandering around other golf courses by now? .
Does she have favorite things that attract her to run to you when you are playing? Such as...my goldens can be way outside in the yard, and I keep their biscuites in a tin can, and as soon as I jiggle the can they come flying to me. Just a silly thought. Well...I am rattling on, so good luck, I sure hope you find her today!!!

I too have been trying to think of ideas, but can't seem to come up with anything other than what has been posted already. Do you think something like a search party with everyone branching out from a specific starting point to cover an entire area? Not sure if you've already covered most of the territory but I'm willing to volunteer. Let me know and please keep everyone uo to date.

If a search party has not already performed a search, I'll volunteer also. It should be done quickly and every square foot of the area searched by foot. I don't have to tell you, in this heat, this is a very difficult time for a little dog. Please pm me if you need another volunteer.

This may sound ridiculous, but when our pets safety is at stake, I would try anything!

Could you get the police to track BY SCENT with their canine unit? There is nothing like the powerful scent of a dogs nose. Using Bloodhounds or German shephards after smelling your dogs bed or other articles may just work!

I have done this before with my tiny poodle when she is off somewhere on the property. I let my hound find her for me. Most of the time, it does work!

If you have exhausted all efforts and still have not found your dog , I know of an excellent psychic in The Villages who has worked with the police in the past to help find lost children.

Please pm me and I will give you her name. Wishing you the best of luck with your search, I know what your going thru.

Default Someone may be keeping her.

I have a terrible feeling that someone has found Gianna and is keeping her, for at least the time being, until their concience overcomes them. I think anyone with courage should approach anyone with an Italian greyhound and just ask a few "innocent" questions. The breed is relatively rare. If you have a phone camera, snap a picture and post it here.

Could you post more pictures here on TOTV? The administrators can help you post them within the post. Does she have any special markings??? Johnny M has a full size grayhound and she has some color spotting that is quite unique. Johnny? Are you reading this? Keep your eye out for this little dog on a leash somewhere.

Wish I were there. I would hound the place with a camera.
