Has anyone sighted him, since early morning? However, due to the state of his fear, somehow, he needs to get into a contained area, like a fenced yard or garage. By doing this, there is a possibility that the dog may trust you. She communicated that, if the opportunity arises, and he is in a yard, etc., the best way is to not approach him, or try to touch him, but to sit down on the grass and at first look away. She communicated that his behavior is that of a “dumped” dog, and he is very frightened. I spoke to Katy Yoder, a very experienced German Shepherd handler.

That is a good sign, that he came up to your Golden. Angela, Eagle Ridge Estates.Ĭody, of Ridgeview, whose home would eventually be the place in which the dog sought refuge, shared this message: Unfortunately, I reached my hand out and he ran away. I was running with my Golden and he came up to her.

I saw him this morning at 5:45 in the Whitehawk neighborhood. They shared encouragement, prayers, advice and information. People reported dates, times and locations of their German Shepherd sightings. That started a flurry of what would grow to more than 140 comments within 11 days as neighbors banded together on social media to help locate the dog so they could return it to the safety of its owners.

This grainy photo, taken by a member in a west-Redding neighborhood, captured the elusive German Shepherd.
