We received a call yesterday morning from a resident who lives off Wake Forest Road in McCoy. The caller saw the flier we posted Monday, which we posted because we'd already recieved a sighting in the general area, for Thursday or Friday (24th or 25th). This caller is certain that she saw Izzie on Friday (25th) at around 3 PM. The dog that she saw was traveling on Wake Forest Road towards Shale Road. It appeared she had a short chain/leash attached to her collar.
While canvassing the area and speaking to neighbors, another resident reported seeing a small black dog in the area at around the same time.
We distributed and posted additional fliers on Wake Forest, Longshop and Whittaker Hollow Roads and are focusing our search efforts in the quadrant bordered by these roads.
If anyone is available to help search please call 540.577.9739.

Weekend Update
Brief weekend update from Karen. The camera at the feeding station is in use and starting to capture some images, though none yet of Izzie. As you can see, searching for Izzie is a full-time job for Karen, and any & all support she can get is appreciated.
Camera at the feeding station -- Saturday was a washout here...the camera couldn't keep up with the pelting rain and blowing foliage. Today's pix were better; Scruffy and a boxer mix who lives nearby. One of a neighbor's old dogs made his way to the feeding station as well. Here's the best of the photos.

This last shot is the neighbor's dog who made his way to the feeding station from the house. He was waiting for me this morning at the feeding station (a first). Probably had something to do with the three pounds of hamburger meat I mixed in with the dry food at the feeding station yesterday!
Fliering & search area -- We expanded our posting and search area out Mt Zion to Big Lick Rd and Norris Run..
Craigslist -- reposted the ad which had expired, and expanded the Craigslist posting to include Roanoke as well as New River Valley.
News media advertising -- renewing the ad to run in the Roanoke Times Wed-Sun, and running an add in the News Messenger, which reaches the New River Valley

Friday Update
Today's the day the camera will be installed at the feeding station, and it will be nice if we can finally see some pictures of Izzie eating from it!
But Karen is smartly keeping all options open, and still checking Craigslist and any other sources she can think of, trying to find Izzie. Right now and this weekend, she is working to pick up on a lead she got last week that got lost in the shuffle -- of a dog matching Izzie's description in Radford.
So, who's reading this blog from Radford? Have you seen Izzie?
