In Georgia, pet parents are desperately searching for their missing dogs who disappeared while under the care of a sitter a few weeks ago.
While on a family vacation at the beach, Jade Carroll received a devastating text from her sitter about her missing dog, Jax. The news left her sleepless and heartbroken ever since.
Carroll shared the sitter’s text message on her TikTok account @jade_carroll.21, drawing attention to the emotional turmoil of the past two weeks.
Carroll’s determination to find Jax led her to search every nook and cranny near the house where he disappeared. Flyers were distributed far and wide, even reaching the local authorities.
She even moved a blanket that she and Jax shared from the sitter’s house to hers, hoping its familiar scent would guide him home.
Her TikTok post garnered immense love and support, with over 861,200 views, 37,100 likes, and 285 comments by Wednesday morning.
Support flooded in from viewers, one expressing hope for Jax’s safe return, another empathizing with the sitter’s nightmare as an animal caregiver, and a third offering practical tips on checking animal emergency rooms.
Missing Pet Search Tips
When a beloved pet goes missing, it can be an owner’s worst nightmare. It’s crucial to act swiftly and methodically:
Start your search in the area where your pet was last seen. Inform everyone you encounter about your missing pet and distribute flyers in the vicinity.
Additionally, utilize technology and enlist the help of local services like mail carriers, dog walkers, and veterinary offices to spread the word. The Humane Society recommends using colorful posters and flyers to reach a broader audience.
Remember, dogs are more likely to be found in areas with people and other dogs. Be persistent and thorough in your search efforts.
