Oh, and Jess, spend some time talking to the people at the shelters and the vets offices. They're a lot more likely to pay attention and to help find him (especially if a client comes in with him in tow) if you've made contact with them as a real, live human being with tears in your eyes. If you're just a quick, disembodied voice on the other end of the phone it won't matter nearly as much. That's how I found my neighbor's Lab, Chester, the other day when he'd gotten lost at the job site where Herbie is working . . . Herbie'd already been there, but didn't have a conversation with them, so no one told him that a nice lady who did rescue work had called them and told them she had a nice Lab who had wandered into her house. I talked to them, so they told me and even gave me her number to call, even though I wasn't Chester's owner.
