Missing Family Member/Dog in San Jose
Hello Baja Friends,
Last night my dog/family member, Ruby, ran off from the docks in the marina of San Jose del Cabo. She was so scared of the local fireworks that she
cleared a 12 foot fence in a diagonal jump from the dock ramp! My mom and dad and friends have been frantically looking for her all last night and
today. I am desperate to find her so I thought it would be good to post on this forum so I get as many eyes as possible looking for her. She could
be in the desert, the hills, the beach, the estuary, or the town of San Jose. We need all the help we can get to find her!
She is a large, red colored, Irish Setter. She is petrified of fireworks and she is not from the area so she has no idea where she is. She will be
skittish and scared but is not aggressive.
If you find her, please call me at 714-920-2825 (US) or 011-521-322-1000-977 (Baja).
All security at the marina are aware of the situation too. Thank you for any help finding Ruby!

Desert Doll. Good luck. Please keep us posted. I lost my dog in San Ignacio once, but she was found by a sweet Mexican family. Good luck.

Reward posters are easy to make and often yield results! My 9mo old Lab ran off for a few days and the $100 reward got me a phone call and my dog
back!! He hates fireworks, too, as most dogs do. Good luck. Tio

My heart goes out to you and I sure hope you get her back soon. I think there are a couple animal rescue groups there. Maybe contact them so in case
they run across her they can contact you.

Thank you all so much! Prayers can help a lot too.
We have made 2 runs of flyers and have them all over town with a $500 reward. We think she is out in the desert. I am worried about her coming out
on the highway. My mom has found a guy who flies aerial planes in that area so she is going to see if he will keep an eye out. They have checked
with all the local vets. marina security, local housing areas and neighborhoods. They have been in jeeps and on foot running up and down in the
riverbeds, estuary, and beaches looking all day.
The fireworks are supposed to start again in a few hours so I am praying sombody finds her by then. There is a big fiesta in town this weekend so
good and bad - more eyes but also more fireworks.
Thanks for the bajabooks link. I will followup with Judy.

I'll second the reward poster idea. Perhaps give them to cops, taxi drivers, and others that move around the area on a daily basis.
I lost my dog once, it was terrible, and then I found him, it was wonderful.

I am in Cali too and feeling so helpless. This post was the best idea I had on how to help my family from here. I wish I could be down there
searching myself.
My parents have put flyers at all the hotels, restaurants, taxis, and city buses. This is not looking good but I am trying to stay positive. There
have only been 1 or 2 people that said they thought they saw her around 11pm last night but no sightings or word today.
Your positive stories of being reunited with your is helping and bringing me hope that she may have found a nice person who will return her to us.

Does Ruby Have an ID Chip?
The lost pet recovery effort in Baja has become a lot better, by leaps and bounds, over the past few years.
Compile a list of vets and animal shelters in the area that Ruby was lost, and leave flyers. Many of them have the equipment to scan a lost animal
and they most definitely have access to the internet to spread the word.
Scan the flyer into .jpeg format and post on the local internet bulletin boards.
Good luck, I hope that your beloved family member is found safe and is returned to you.

We are headed out the door to walk Pops. I have a leash in my pocket just in case.
I did see a dog this morning while we were swimming that looked like a setter but I thought it was with a guy who was walking. The reason it caught
my eye was that we seldom see that breed, but in all honesty, it was just a profile. I didnt see what color the dog was.
BTW...you have been talking with my husband. I didnt mention the dog to him this morning because, at that time, it wasnt important.

When the posts come every few minutes, the "bump" seems so extraneous.
(my son-in-law died on the operating table today, they revived him but in ICU and grave- probably sets my mood- sorry)

No need for a sorry after the day you've had. Best of luck for your family. Hope everything works out.
