[color:"red"] [/color] There will be an organised search for Kayla tomorrow morning 12th August, meeting at the Manutewhau Reserve on the corner of Jadewynne & Fresil Street, Massey. 9am start. Maps of the area will be handed out. If anyone is able to come help we would really appreciate it. More pamphlets need to be dropped in streets that have not yet been covered.

Many thanks to all who have help us so far, it has been amazing seeing the willingness to help.

Update: Kayla has been spotted at Oriel Park Massey. Currently holed up and scared to come out. Foster mum and another person Kayla knows are enroute there now. If anyone see's her before they get there please approach quietly so she doesn't get scared off. At least we know she is safe albeit cold and hungry obviously. The gap she got out of I would have expected a chihauhau to have had trouble, certainly not an escape risk factor to a GSD - until now.

Good morning

I am a foster mum for the German Shepherd Rescue Trust. This morning, a new foster that we received yesterday managed to get under our fence and escape. Her details are:

Name: Kayla
Sex: Female
Colour: Black and Tan
Coat: Short hair
Registration: Papakura District Council
Area Lost: Royal Heights/Massey East
Age: Approx.. 3 years of age
Collar: Light Brown/Tan with Registration tag (tag not disc) attached, no other identification tags

She is a very timid girl and we are presuming she is still in the area but hiding, she is smaller than a normal sized bitch. If by any chance someone finds her or she is brought into the SPCA injured, please contact Denise Sharp on 09 443 2204 or 027 458 1428

For more details, please feel free to contact me on either 09 978 7668 (work direct dial number) or 027 272 6474

No photo as yet. Even though very timid she is not aggressive in any way.

Thanks in advance

I'm on days off Denise so will go for a drive in the area tomorrow (later today) to see if I can spot her.

I did the drive by yesterday afternoon around the area and the park, the horse paddock.
However if anyone is in the area, can someone check the park on Oriel Ave ( that park opposite the school ) backs onto the park near Andrea and Ellerys house and links with a path.
Just a thought.
If she is in the area we will find her

Thanks Richard. Much appreciated.

Thanks Kate. Yes we will find her. Poor thing must be so confused.

Well I saw her three times but couldn't get near her. Poor girl is a bit freaked out.

She was in the Manutewhau reserve off Jadewynn Place.
She appears to be in good condition from what I could see. Liz & Andrea joined me after a couple of phone calls and I got Classic Hits to announce it over the air, so heres hoping.

If I don't hear back from Andrea, I'll head out again in the morning and this time I'll take Abbey (and some gumboots!) with me. Hopefully seeing another GSD might calm her down a bit.

Take some food - she must be hungry by now! The food will be bring her close if nothing else will. At least you know she's okay at this stage. Keep us posted - poor Kayla!

Several of us were out until close on midnight last night. No success but she is there and was spotted a couple of times. Search resumes today.

Here's another photo of Kayla - her usual pose - scared and huddled in a corner. http://www.newzealandnz.co.nz/discussions/attachments/12034-Kayla.pdf

The poor darling. All the best everyone to rescue her. Sending out lots of positive vibes.
