John,
Chawn asked me to post any help i could offer after having lost my adonis for 5 weeks earlier this year. Someone posted a site on the internet about making signs for lost dogs, & i made some very similar. I got so many calls from these signs.
I made them from neon orange poster board, cut to fit into gallon size ziploc bags. right in the center of each i glued a color photo (i printed out bunches at the photo center at the local drugstore). with a large permanent marker, i wrote REWARD at the top, between that & the photo, i wrote his name.
under the photo i put my name & phone numbers, and at the bottom LOST DOG. then i used short fat nails & nailed them to stop signs & such. these signs were visible from a quarter mile. & the ziploc bags insured they were still legible even after bad weather. take the time to make LARGE, HIGHLY VISIBLE WATER PROOF SIGNS WITH A COLOR PHOTO -IT REALLY HELPLS GET MORE RESPONSE!!
i know its hard to give up time looking, but the better the signs, the more people see them.
post them everywhere around where he was lost, & move outwards.
i also got a lot of calls from putting an ad in the local papers lost & found, & even paid extra to put a photo in.
none of the calls ended up being adonis, when he was finally found after 5 weeks, he was in the oppsosite direction. :-)
but i did get to talk to a lot of nice people, all who wanted to help me get my guy home.
GOOD LUCK & try not to give up hope. i had just about done so, when I got the call that i knew he was safe & coming back to me.
