Please help! Arnie was last seen at Alta Loma Park, 2/25 at 7:45am.

My husband and I have been fostering this dog for the last week when he apparently escaped by jumping our fence this morning.

Arnie is a golden retriever mix, about 3 years old and about 50 lbs. He is unaltered, and has medium length tan/gold fur with white on his nose, chest, and tips of his feet. He is wearing a collar with a southwestern design -- brown and turquoise collar with buffalo images and a yellow tag with contact information for Grateful Dogs Rescue, the organization we are fostering him through.

Arnie has been missing since 7:45 this morning. We saw him running towards the baseball field at Alta Loma park and he may have turned into the houses on the left or back towards the houses behind the baseball field parking lot.

Arnie is extremely fearful and NOT socialized. He has not shown any aggression toward humans but if you see him, please do not approach because he will just run again. He was rescued from the desert in Nevada where he lived in hay huts and ditches dug into the ground. He spent 3 weeks in a temporary shelter before we took him into our home one week ago. Currently he runs when he comes into contact with people or other dogs.

Arnie had quite a reputation as a ladies' man in Nevada and we think he probably got wind of a female in heat and took off to find her. He is still so fearful that he is likely to wind up hiding in the smallest space he can find nearby, like in a garage or tool shed or under a deck or shrubbery or in the nearest ditch he can find. We have filed a Lost Dog report with the Peninsula Humane Society and asking people to search their property in the area and to call if he is spotted.

Although Arnie has a collar with the GDR tag, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to get close enough to him to see it. If he is hiding somewhere it may take an animal control officer with a catch pole to extricate him.

If you see him, please contact our home# 650-588-7929, my cell# 650-303-0108, or my husband's cell# 650-438-5145 or you can call Kim with Grateful Dogs Rescue at 415-587-1927 or the Peninsula Humane Society at 650-340-7022.

One of our neighbors called us shortly after 11pm tonight. Arnie was in their back yard, howling. We have him tucked safely into his crate tonight. Thanks for your prayers!
