They are among many of GOD's Blessings ~ please help!

Here you'll find photos and/or information on lost and found pets.  Our first goal is to reunite pets with their original owners.  Lost pets will remain on this site until they are returned to their owners or the family request we remove their picture.  Pets that are found will be posted on the "Found" page of this site while we attempt to locate original owners and buy some time taking personal care of them before relinquishing them to the local Shelter or owners call to claim them.  The length of foster care is indefinite depending on the needs and personality of each dog.  Check back frequently.  This is an effort to help the animals return home and lighten the load at our local shelter so that fewer dogs will end up euthanized or homeless.

Louie Lamour, orange and white bird dox mix

Louie is a sweet-natured, shy bird dog mix.  He has all his shots, but I can't keep a collar on him.  He went missing around 2-26 in North of Palestine, County Road 404 area.  I've lost 5 dogs over the past several years, and four neighbors (that I know of) have also lost their dogs (one is on this page).  We know someone is killing dogs out here.  I am asking anyone with any information on a person or persons who may be responsible for these deaths to contact me privately: pallostdogs@yahoo.com .  Your name will be kept anonymous.

Owner contact info needed, please!  This beloved pet needs to be found before he falls into the hands of the wrong person.  Also, the shelter will not adopt out a pit bull breed because of their reputation.  They are the first ones who need to be aware that you are looking for him.  Owner needs to put out flyers and go to the shelter with pictures then to the sherif's dept to personally speak to the animal control officer and show his pic there as well. Do everything you can to find this pet before the wrong person does.  Please leave your contact info on this site and location the dog came up missing.  Good luck and God Bless your efforts

This is when she was younger, but she has long ears and is a tri-color basset hound. Our sweet little basset hound came up missing around Feb. 2009.  We live in Elkhart in the vicinity of the golf course.  She was our sweet baby girl.  She was recently spayed when she vanished, so she should have a scar.  I have more pictures if someone thinks they know where she is.  She would be a bit over a year old.  I won't ask any questions if I can only get her back.  She is a special girl, having gone through many health problems as a puppy and she pulled through with lots of love and care to become a great pet.  My children and I would love to have her returned.  Contace me at imistymc@windstream.net 


Just A Dog

From time to time, people tell me,

"lighten up, it's just a dog," or

"that's a lot of money for "just a dog."

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or cost involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog", and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of "just a dog", I will rise early, take long walks and look longlingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog", but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a person."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog" just smile... because they "just don't understand."

Look what Pam did with a rescue dog!

Pam Martin and Viva on America's Got Talent
This lady and her dog also performed at Critter Family Fun Day sponsored by our local Animal Shelter.  If you missed them when they were here then you really missed something special.  Don't miss the next BARC event.

TammyC - I was told to contact you... we have an older female yellow lab that showed up at our house a few days ago... we've posted online, shelter is closed today. She was doing well, but today seems very quiet & "depressed"... I can't keep her here much longer... any suggestions? You can reach me at 903-353-2351

I posted a picture of my cat on this site about a week ago. I also made signs and posted them around where I live. I found him this morning. I am so happy. I didn't know how to remove his picture from this site.

Under those circumstances I'd certainly agree with your conclusion and report it to the police.

It is true that farm dogs are more at risk from wildlife than town dogs. We have fenced property, but that doesn't prevent wildlife from showing up or my dogs from getting out. However, dogs have been stolen out of locked pens in this area and this is what I'm seeking information on. My dogs were quite savvy about wildlife and even very wary of strange people, so their loss has a greater chance of being at the hand of criminal intent.

Were those missing dogs in a fenced yard? Is the area inside city limits or country homes? I know where I live the cayotes and wild hogs are out at night pretty often. Aside from the fact that there would be plenty of dogs running loose for them to feed on there's also the possibility that they have strayed so far they got lost and anyone who finds a dog may think it's homeless or lost. It's funny how some people let their dogs roam loose and the instant it comes up missing assume it was stolen. I'm not saying that's the case with you or these missing dogs but anyone who cares for their pet should be careful ~ there are thieves, dog abusers and wildlife that can harm our pets.

Dozens of dogs in the Palestine area have gone missing or found killed in the past few years. There is obviously a person or group responsible for this because too many people in the same area have lost their beloved animals. We MUST come together and expose these criminals. I for one will not get another dog until this is solved. I've lost FIVE. Please contact: pallostdogs@yahoo.com if you have ANY information that might lead to the apprehension of these dog thieves and killers.

I found my Red Australian Shepherd/heeler mix lost on 06/05/2010. I would like to thank the nice lady who found her at Reagan Park and took her home and took care of her until she could put an ad in the Palestine Herald Press. We are so happy Chloe is home!!!! Thanks a million!!!!!

Check the shelter for your dogs frequently and don't just do a walk thru ASK the staff if they have a dog that fits your missing dog's discription. There is a back section that is a holding area when dogs first come in. YOU HAVE TO ASK IF THEY HAVE A DOG THAT FITS YOUR DOG'S DESCRIPTION!

Spreading the word is what we need. Please note the animals posted are in the East Texas Area. Thanks for your positive feedback.
7/13/2009 2:52:03 AM - 000074469281
Wow, what an amazing site you have created for these lost animals. I'm touched.
i'll spread the word if you want me to.

Just a note to anyone skeptical about this site. This site has only existed for 2 wks and 3 days and has had 447 visits. If those 447 people tell at least 1 friend about the dogs that are posted that's 894 people who can help get the word out and eyes watching for these pets. Every little bit helps. Check back and don't forget to look on the found page for your pet in case someone has posted them without looking here first.
