Status as of Thursday, Oct 8th

Thanks for checking in to see what's happening with the search for Gus!

MAP: A map has been added; see the margin at right (Resources/Links section) for a hyperlink to the map. Over time, the map with (hopefully) show sightings. As I'm posting this update, the map mostly shows areas we want fliered. The map should enable you to flier on your own; however, it's critical that you email us once you have fliered so that we can update the map to show the areas you have covered. (We will do this in reverse once Gus is found.)

FUNDRAISING: We know it typically takes quite a lot of money to search for a lost dog, so we are starting a fundraising effort. See the ChipIn fundraising icon at right for an easy way to donate! Any amount you can contribute will be appreciated and will help. The funds will be channeled to HART, so they are tax deductible, but ChipIn allows easy earmarking of the funds intended for the Gus search to go to it. Some of the more costly expenses we might incur include more tracking sessions by Pure Gold Pet Trackers, robo calls by FindToto, newspaper advertising, to name just a few.

Please plan to come out and flier with the group on Sunday at 1pm. But by all means, please fliers sooner if you can!
