We came home tonight to discover that our newly-adopted german shepherd, Nikita, escaped from our back yard. She was home with our son and a babysitter but was left outside.

We are currently searching in the neighborhood by car but no luck thus far.

She is approximately 3 years old, female, german shepherd, around 70 pounds. She is wearing a pink Kong collar with a rabies tag from Stillwater, Oklahoma. She is chipped but we haven't gotten a tag with our phone information on it yet.

If you see her or find her she is extremely friendly. Please call or text me at 979-492-7786.

Thank you.

Also, when checking Craigslist Check at least 7 sections on CRAIGSLIST!
People will post about pets on several of the Craigslist sections. Oftentimes it is because someone finds a pet and after a few days, weeks, or even months decides they cannot find the owner and cannot keep the pet. They will give them away for free or sell them. Sometimes people try to breed them. Check these sections on Craigslist regularly:
Community: Lost and Found, Pets, General
For Sale: Free, General
Services: Pet
Check areas surrounding College Station too, such as Houston, deep east TX. Found pets offered for sale or free in all of these sections!! Be aware that people also will not necessarily state that the pet is found, so keep your search broad.

Be aggressive. The harder you work, the luckier you are.

Thanks for looking. She has been located and is home safe and sound. Back to spazing out over the cat sitting on the couch.
