And I'm in Blacksburg and cannot look for her. Help please.

Please send vibes and to anyone in the NoVA area, keep your eyes peeled and please please crosspost the following:

"Boo" was lost from the Lorton, VA area on the evening of 3/22/2014.

Female, solid black chow mix (~50-60 lb). Long hair and prick ears. Some black spots on tongue. Greying around muzzle and on underside.

We think she was wearing her black, rolled leather collar with tags when she escaped, but she may have gotten free of it as she usually wears it fairly loose. She is microchipped.

Knows commands "come" (vocal and whistle) and "stop" but may not approach or listen to a stranger if afraid.

She has never wandered before which is why I am petrified. Apparently there were fireworks in the area last night, but my family isn't sure how she got out unless she jumped the 4.5 - 5 foot fence (which she has never done before). She has gotten out of the yard before before the new fence was installed, but never been gone more than 30 minutes to chase deer. Zero wanderlust for the most part. I think she is either truly lost, injured, or in someone else's care.

She may be anxious, and I am not sure how she will react to strangers. She may approach happily or may avoid due to fear. She is not aggressive, but may bark/growl if afraid and quickly approached.

Please email [email protected] or PM me here if you have any information.

Omg. Lots and lots of vibes that she's found soon, and safe.

Hopefully somebody has found her and is holding her until tomorrow, when they can have a vet check for a chip.

Thank you all.

She's still missing. I'm panicking.

Sent fliers to my mom to put around town, posted on craigslist, emailed 4 of the big local animal rescues asking that they send emails to their listservs, posted on facebook, and am planning to call the animal hospitals/shelters tomorrow (except Fairfax County's animal shelter is closed on Sundays AND Mondays...). Posted on fidofinder and called HomeAgain and reported a missing pet. What else can I do?

I want to drive home, but I know it would be stupid. :(

I shared her craigslist posting on my Facebook and a friend of mine who has other friends in the area re-shared too. I hope somebody finds her. =< I understand wanting to drive home.

Oh no, not Boo!! :(

I will share. I hope she is found safe and sound, quickly! I know how awful it is to have a pet go missing. You and Boo are in my thoughts. Lots of "GO HOME BOO!" vibes coming your way.

Contact animal control and non emergency police number for your town and report her missing with them as well.

Fingers crossed for a safe return. I too shared on FB, I have an uncle down there and some FB friends there as well.

Fingers and toes all crossed. I know what it is like to loose a pet and it is terrifying. Hopefully she'll be found soon!
