Boo-Boo the dog got loose a week ago and “ran off in a blind panic” the Craigslist posting reads.
Boo-Boo is a former rescue pup (kept by a hoarder for the first 9 mos of her life) and has permanent problems as a result……we are scared that some well meaning person might mistake those issues for signs of current abuse at home. That is not the case! She is extremely shy and nervous around new people and as a result has uncontrollable shaking, especially in her rear legs when she is in such a situation. Also, she is terrified when lifted off the ground…..her mouth falls open and her whole body goes stiff, almost catatonic. This is all from her early life neglect and mistreatment. It has nothing to do with the loving care we have given her since she came to us in ’07. She is a very important part of our lives and we are hoping she is still safe and one of you nice people can help her find us again.
According to the posting, Boo-Boo is microchipped and did have her Seattle license tag on when she got loose. There is a small reward for her return, “We don’t have much, but she means the world to us, so we will find a way to make it happen if that is what it takes to bring her home/find out where she is,” the owners write. You can get more information and contact the owner through this Craigslist posting. (Thank you Crownhiller for posting this in the forum.)
