Where's Josie?

To everyone involved in the search for Josie:

As of today, this blog will delete any and all comments and/or posts that are not directly related to the search for Josie.

It is our belief that Josie has been taken in by someone who claims to be providing a loving home for her. The people who have reportedly taken Josie into their home claim to be providing her with reasonable vet care. Unfortunately, we are unable to verify this information.

Photographs have been provided that appear to show Josie in a home. We take SOME comfort in this.

However, we have no idea who has Josie. We had been corresponding with an individual via email who has a warrant out for her arrest. But that person's identity turns out to be a lie, as the person whose identity was "borrowed" is in jail in Pennsylvania. If for no other reason than this lie, we will continue to search for Josie. Through this, we have learned that we are unable to accept the word of a stranger at face value. So unless the people who currently have Josie provide verification, the search effort will continue. This blog will update on where we are looking and where we are posting fliers.

As animal rescue volunteers, we take our committment to each animal very seriously. Part of rescue the follow thru.....you don't ever do something in rescue without being fully responsible from start to finish. The search for Josie will continue because we are responsible for making SURE she has a good home.

Rest assured, we have not forgotten that other animals need our help and we continue to involve ourselves in other rescue efforts (pulling, transporting, fostering, etc). But that does not lessen our committment to Josie, and following thru on the promise that was made to her...that she would have a better life.

Thank you for your interest and concern. Check back often for updates.
