Missing since Tuesday, August 19, around 8 PM — on the bike trails coming back from Valmont Dog Park, Boulder, Colorado.

Unity is FOUND — she's home! 💚

She is safe, she is home, and this page is staying up as a thank-you. Read Deven's message to everyone who shared, posted flyers, and kept their eyes on the trails.

If you see her

Please call out to her and tell her "Let's go see Dad." She is way too friendly — she loves everyone and is not aggressive at all. She is chipped and spayed, and she is my smoke-alert ADA service dog — always with me during the day and sleeps next to me at night.

She may be hypoglycemic - this can be deadly!

Unity is food-picky, lean, and muscular, and she can get sick in less than a day from not eating. She didn't eat before we went to the park — she usually waits until after — so the last time she ate was around midday on Tuesday, August 19. If she doesn't eat, she can get sick enough to stop moving within 24 hours — and that is deadly if it happens where no one is around.

If she seems sluggish and won't take food or water: The rescue is putting syrup inside her cheeks, maybe a table spoon, twice over 10 minutes or so, possibly a third round, until that blood sugar and the desire to wash it down prompts her to drink water. Don't be pushy with food or water, it won't help. High value treats like jerky are helpful.

How she went missing

My beloved Unity is missing. On Tuesday night, August 19, around 8 PM, we were coming back from Valmont Dog Park on the bike trail, with Unity riding in her bike trailer — she's a very experienced rider, almost three years. Somehow she came out of the trailer without me noticing, and I didn't realize it until I got back.

I backtracked several times and covered the trails and central Boulder for about two and a half hours that night — no sign of her. She means the world to me.

Where she might be

She is likely to be out on the trails or around the creek, by the water. If you frequent the multi-use trails, please keep an eye out.

Part of what worries me is that she is super sweet — someone may decide to "rescue" her and keep her.

Help post flyers

If you can help post or distribute flyers, please reach out — that would be huge. My hips are wrecked and I'm due for a double hip replacement, so this search is already very painful and taking a big toll.
