I received a call about a dog that was seen later this afternoon on Reach Road, just west of Lakeridge Road in Uxbridge. The dog was described as large, black and very matted. It had a white chest but they were not able to see its face as the head was turned. It was described as very dirty and muddy, and was limping. They said the dog looked “homeless”. The dog was seen by the “welcome to Uxbridge sign” on the north side of the road, just west of Lakeridge on Reach road. They looked at pictures of Chelsea and said the hair on this dog appears longer than Chelsea’s does on the poster. There are large prints in the snow by the sign heading up the hill to the north. I have spoken to a few of the locals/farmers in the immediate area and they said they would keep an eye out and call if they sighted the dog. There are still people looking in the area, thankfully the fog has now lifted.

Thank you to Kerry and her family for searching as well, as well for leaving kibble out for this pup. Again, we have no way of knowing if this could be Chelsea or not, but it does sound like a dog that needs help. We would appreciate if you are in this area to keep an eye out.

 

 Thanks very much, Janet

What to do if you see Chelsea:
• Immediately call 905-706-2635 or 905-666-4676
• Remain calm – projecting a calm energy is very important
• DO NOT face her square on – instead have your body on an angle so you are not in a threatening position
• You can try to lure her with treats, speak quietly, slowly and calmly in order to create curiosity in her rather than excitement
• Allow her to come to you – if she moves away then keep your distance but try and keep her in your sights.
• Please do NOT chase or tackle Chelsea, we do not want her to be subjected to any further trauma and we do not want any harm to come to her or you.

 

Update: Additional Email regarding previous information received.. 

The dog seen at Reach road and Lakeridge in Uxbridge last night has been located and is back home.

This was an older “NEWF ” who ventured away from home.  Mystery solved on this one.

Thanks everyone.

Janet
