Robo call has yielded great results

This week we reached out to all 0f our neighbors in our zip code--2500 folks, through a robo call on Find Toto. You may have heard that Nancy (that's me) is missing a dog, Gigi, via phone. Jim and I want to say that we appreciate all of our neighbors in AU who are looking for Gigi, and we hope she will come home soon. I hope the call was not too much of a nuisance.

Guys, she is skitterish. The concern for me is that her bond is with her foster mom in Charlottesville is great. She is looking for her in Washington. Jim and I only had her 3 days. But you know what, even though her time here was short, Jim and I fell in love with her.

So if you can spot her, and you can cajole her into a safe, warm place, with 3 sides (she likes walls), that would be good. This advice is from her foster mom, whom I must say knows her like no other.

Two humane traps being set up

Based on sightings and the Gigi track that was defined when Salsa, the scent-dog, followed where Gigi is travelling, we are new setting up two humane traps. We have our fingers crossed. Though we are worried about how hungry she must be, we need her to get hungry enough that her desire for food overcomes her extreme fear of people. Gigi was caught by the humane animal officer in Charlottesville five months ago. We believe she had been abandoned. We don't know what her first year and a half was like, but it was probably not good. It is ironic that so many people are trying to help this sweet baby, but that she is so fearful of the humans that are so willing to do so much to save her.

The Hunn's reach out to each and every person today who came out to post the flyers on her behalf. Thank you so much.

Posting on telephone poles, posting online--every post helps

Teams of volunteers for Gigi covered the eastern half of her territory. Tomorrow, the western! We need the eyes on the ground of the folks who live there. All of our confirmed sightings have been from local residents who saw flyers or read about Gigi online. So if you can't post flyers on poles, please write about Gigi online, including local list serves, your Facebook pages, etc.

Six teams working. Need four more!

Thanks to everyone who is out posting flyers. Our goal is to cover half of Gigi's territory today. We need four more teams if we are going to get it done. Today. Or tomorrow.

Gigi's foster mom arrives from Charlottesville to help--can you?

Gigi's foster mom, Nancy Tisdale, Scottie--one of her three Shelties--and Nancy's friend Kay are arriving in a few minutes to help with our search and posting of Gigi Flyers. We're ready to hand out flyers to those who want to post them at 10 AM.
