Dixie, an
11 month old Brussels Griffon puppy, accidentally slipped out
of her home in Northern California while in the care of a pet
sitter. Her distraught owner did everything possible to find her,
to no avail. Three and a half years later, a female Griffon was
turned in to National Brussels Griffon Rescue in the Las Vegas
area. Because her circumstances were shared immediately, the question
of whether this might be Dixie was raised promptly. Upon further
investigation her identity was confirmed and Dixie was reunited
with her loving owner. All who knew the story were thrilled. Dixie's
story made us aware of an unmet need, and so in honor of Dixie,
we dedicate this page. She has become a symbol of hope.
As a service
to the Griffon community, NBGR will maintain this *Missing Griffon
Alerts* section of our web site. There have been many instances
similar to Dixie's where a Griffon has been recovered by Rescue
and subsequently traced back to the original breeder or owner
even after several years. This should enable us to do so more
quickly and surely. We shall post information as we receive it
about lost or missing Brussels Griffons, the circumstances, and
their description. In this way our members and the public can
all keep their eyes peeled and assist in more joyful recoveries.

lost or found a Brussels Griffon contact any of the following:

K-9 Amber Alert
This
is a nationwide group and is to be used for posting alerts for
missing dogs throughout the United States similar to the way Amber
Alerts are used to help find missing or abducted children. Incidents
will be typical of, but not limited to: dogs escaped or suspected
taken from backyards, dog shows, caretakers. Photos can be uploaded
to the group. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/K9AmberAlert
SPECIAL WARNING FOR VACATIONERS
A Griffon
without it's family is like a fish out of water. They may seem
fine, but are much more likely to slip thru a door or wander
out of a house or yard (in search of *home*?) and become lost
or injured while you are away. Please impress super-vigilance
on your substitute care-givers when you go on vacation.
