Everyone - This is a personal email to all of you who have been helping since last Wednesday in the search for Shasta! Great News! Shasta is home, healthy and now microchipped! I am so greatful and words cannot express the amount of gratitude that I have for all of you and the help you have given in finding our sweet Shasta. Mr. and Mrs. David and Alisha Gray and Ms. Sheila Smith of the Leucadia and Encinitas area found Shasta this morning in their backyard after six days of her being on her own, and took very good care of her today until they received information from a family member about our flyers and the search for Shasta. They called me immediately after they got ahold of one of my flyers and I was able to pick her up about 30 minutes later from their homes this evening at about 5:30pm. David, Alisha, and Sheila are all dog lovers and took great care of her today, and as far as I am concerned they are my heroes. Shasta has been to her veterinarian and was deemed very healthy (about 3 pounds lighter after her journeys), has now been officially microchipped, and has a new collar and harness that goes under her chest and belly area! She is home now and very happy! She has eaten, been drinking lots of water, and is sleeping heavily as we give her tons of love, but continues to wag her tail and paw at us. This has been the toughest experience of my life, and for all those emotionally connected to Shasta. We are all so greatful and are blessed to have her home, happy, healthy and safe. David, Alisha and Sheila would not take a reward from us, but there isn't a bone in body that could not do something to give back, so I will be doing the following: - Donation to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in the names of David and Alisha Gray, and Sheila Smith (Shasta and my heroes) - Donation to the San Diego County Shelters in the name of Ms. Dawn Danielson (head of animal services for San Diego county, who has personally been assisting with our search) - Donation to the Bernese Mountain Dog Rescue for Southern California in the names of Ms. Jennifer Zaayer, Ms. Gail Barron, and Ms. Jean Cheesman (Key Members and Leaders for the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Southern California and the BMD Rescue group) We will be returning to all of the areas that we posted flyers and posters tomorrow late afternoon to ensure that all of them are taken down and that the word gets out that we have found Shasta! We will also be contacting all online forums, newspapers, shelters, vets, etc. that have been assisting in our search and have flyers to make sure they know she is now safe at home. Again - I am so extremely greatful to have a happy ending to this story and will be personally joining the BMDSCA to help provide this support to others in need! Please pass on the great news to all of those people that each of you have personally contacted and thank them from Shasta! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, as our Shasta is finally home! -- Respectfully, Kristen A. Butt kristenabutt@gmail.com

I know there are more that I haven't listed but thank you all for the help and the continued searching.
