Lost Malinois in Kentucky
I know this is a global forum, but I'm trying to share this with as many people as possible. A friend's Malinois, Anja, has escaped from a kennel in Bowling Green. Her family lives in Chicago, and she was sent down to a handler there, where she jumped a 6' fence and ran away.
It's possible that she's trying to travel back to Illinois, so she could be anywhere in the Midwest United States. If you know anyone in the area, please share this. I believe she's been missing since the 7th of April.
Here's a picture of her.

Re: Lost Malinois in Kentucky
Thank you for posting this!!
Paul called me last night and asked me to help get the word out, but hasn't gotten me any pictures. Can I have your permission to borrow this flier and pass it on to mal rescue?

Anyone know any cross country truckers? They can be very helpful.

Poor thing. There are animal communicators that specialize in finding lost dogs.

Re: Lost Malinois in Kentucky
Have there been any sightings since she ran off? Many dogs in strange surroundings like this one, will circle in a radius, at least for a while. I hope she will link up with humans again soon. Thoughts and prayers.

Re: Lost Malinois in Kentucky
It's not my photo to give permission, but it's the photo they've asked everyone to share, so I don't think it would be a problem.Can I have your permission to borrow this flier and pass it on to mal rescue?
I haven't heard any updates on this personally since last night, but according to the Help Find Anja facebook page, there was a sighting: "She was spotted along Boiling Springs Road near a cross street called Fairview or Fairfield . . . then in a wooded area behind some houses."
That was posted this morning. Her family is down there now, so they and the handler plus some friends are looking for her.
If anyone could share/post the Facebook page, this is the link. There are more pictures posted on there for help with sharing as well. https://www.facebook.com/HelpFindAnja

- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC
Re: Lost Malinois in Kentucky
Oh no! I hope she is found soon, safe and sound. Sending positive thoughts that way.

Re: Lost Malinois in Kentucky
Thanks for all the thoughts/prayers and sharing. Anja was found! She was sited in the woods before they got there and they were able to hear her barking.
The family arrived to Kentucky earlier today and were able to lure her in and they now have her safely on a leash in their possession.

- Tell us about yourself: 40 something mom of 3 sons, 2 living....mother of one beagle girl, Puddles age 9 and our yet to be determined "shepherd" type girl Beta, age 2. Beta was rescued from an area no-kill shelter and was assumed to be a GSD/Greyhound mix, perhaps? I sure cannot find anything greyhound about the girl, sought out Brindle Shepherds and came across the DS, and began to wonder.....she is the absolute best dog anyone could want.

Re: Lost Malinois in Kentucky
It's amazing what networking can do. She was gone for a week, but as soon as people started sharing the facebook page and Anja's pictures, there were reported sightings and her family was able to locate her the day they arrived.

Re: Lost Malinois in Kentucky
Awesome!
We had 2 small dogs lost in my neighborhood for a week. Sightings almost daily, but the poor things were so scared even the owners couldn't get them. Finally with about 15 people in a posse, they got them safely too. Community FB page worked wonders!
