$5,000 reward for missing Alta. dog

By PAMELA ROTH, EDMONTON SUN  Last Updated: February 7, 2011 5:16pm

Jocelyn Lloyd's two Alaskan malemute dogs are like her children.

So when one of them went missing 15 days ago in the Falher area, she didn't hesitate to post a $5,000 reward.

But with still no trace of the two-year-old giant dog, known as Benjamin, Lloyd remains heartbroken. All she can do is wait for any news on the whereabouts of her beloved pooch.

"I am still praying every day. We search every day," said Lloyd, 42. "It only takes one person to notice Ben and call."

According to Lloyd, Benjamin is the rarest of the malemutes, sporting a yellow and white coat and bright, yellow eyes.

She and her husband waited months before they were able to get Benjamin from a breeder in the Northwest Territories and take him home to their grain farm where he runs free with another dog, but always stays close to the home.

The last time Benjamin was seen was Jan. 20 when a neighbour spotted him with another dog by a creek near the Lloyd property south of Falher. A man driving a pickup truck was reportedly coaxing the dogs to come toward him.

Benjamin's sudden disappearance sent Lloyd into search mode up, driving up and down the back roads, optimistic he would quickly be found. But as the days pass by, Lloyd can't help but fear the worst — that her rare neutered dog has been stolen.

"We know that something terrible has happened to him or he'd be with me right now," said Lloyd, who's set up a Facebook page for people to share stories about their stolen dogs.

"My fear is that he could have been sold to someone who does not understand that he's stolen property. I just never imagined that someone would take someone's pet."

Benjamin was last seen near Range Road 770 and 214, south of Falher, which is 70 km south of Peace River in northern Alberta. He was wearing a Harley Davidson collar with his name written on it. Tattoos are in both ears.

Anyone with information on his disappearance is asked to call780-837-1049.

We lost our beloved husky boy the night before valentines day. He is our everything.. If you are a good person and picked him up, please please please let us know. He requires a special diet due to intestinal issues, and is due for a vet visit soon. If you picked him up, you might or will notice that he won't eat much due to this. He cannot breed due to the fact he only has one descended testicle, (check for yourself) so he needs to be neutured to prevent cancer. This is by far the worst valentines day for us because or boy is missing. We can try to work out a reward for him or information on his whereabouts. He had a bright orange harness on. He is very very friendly and loves everyone. We were hoping to make him a therapy dog due to this fact.

100 Dogs In Canada Killed After Business Slows
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The 100 dogs were shot dead over two days after an expected post-Olympics boom in dogsledding business at an adventure company didn't pan out. Most died instantly, but others suffered — like the one that ran away with its "face blown off and an eye hanging out."

The gruesome event was described in documents awarding compensation to a worker, who claimed he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder from shooting the dogs after bookings dropped sharply for a tour operator following the 2010 Winter Olympics.

"He had to chase her down and finish her off," Marcie Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations for the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said of the wounded dog that was run down and slain. Read more.

URGENT

Texas volunteers for Alaskan Malamute Assistance League has lost one of its fosters, a male Alaskan Malamute, who escaped from a vet clinic where he was being boarded early Saturday morning. He weighs 85 lbs, and is black and white. He is still intact, as we had only had him less than 2 days when he disappeared. He is one year old and has severe hip dysplasia. (I'm not sure if that will affect how far he roams or not.) He is microchipped. He was lost on Beltline Road, north of Hwy 80 in Sunnyvale, and was last spotted at a bank near Hwy 80 on Saturday morning. (For reference point, this is not too far from Town East Mall.)

I and other volunteers have been searching for him in the wooded areas along the creeks that run through that area since he went missing. However, there has been no sign of him.

If you see or hear of a dog matching this description, please call me at 214-680-0514. Please crosspost this to anyone you know in that area.

Adopt A Husky of Dallas is a non-profit all volunteer organization dedicated to saving Siberians Huskies from death row, to the education of the public in how to care for them and understand the gentle and affectionate nature of the breed. We are committed to finding good homes in which to place our dogs...

We live in a society overloaded with unwanted animals. Over 300 are euthanized in Dallas/Ft. Worth every single day of the year except Christmas and Easter, days the shelters are closed. The animals die yearning for things many never had in their life; affection, attention, care, security, understanding, good food, safety, and a place called home. Ones who might have briefly known a few of these things often hurt the most.

It is said we get back what we give, and we have discovered this is certainly true in saving the huskies. We see huskies hanging on to a thin thread of hope. Sadder still, we see huskies with broken spirits depleleted of hope. When we begin the renewal process of healing their body and spirit, we witness an amazing event. When we provide kindness and love, we witness a beautiful response from these broken lives. As the mending of a broken spirit begins, the kindness and love are returned back to us. Each husky is unique and special. No two have ever been exactly alike. Each one has a distinct individuality and personality and will always be part of our ever growing husky family here at AHDI.

There is always another day, another story, and another husky. As we work hustling to save the next one, we know that in the end it is us on the receiving end. Rescue work requires emotional strength and dedication to the work. The heartwarming joy we have discovered doing the work, comes from them - - - the huskies!

We Hope your Enjoying your texas snowdog winter!
