Pit taken during home robbery today.... found!!
 

My sister's home was burglarized this morning about 10am. In addition to taking everything of value, these lovely human beings took her dog, Vito. Vito is a brown and white pit who is very gentle and submissive. I am offering a large reward for any information that will help us bring Vito home. If you know anyone who might know anyone, etc that might have information, we will appreciate ANYTHING. Reward flyers are being printed and I am attaching a picture of Vito. You can contact me at shannie214@sbcglobal.net. Thanks!!

Welcome to PBC.

So sorry for your family's loss. Check out this thread:

What to do when your dog goes missing

Also, I'd make this post in General Dog Discussions because it will get more exposure. Also, I'd add what area your sister is in.

What city does she live in? Have you tried posting Craigslist ads?

Sorry about the loss; and like someone suggested you will get more responses in the general dog discussions section of this forum.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will repost in the general dog discussion area and add that information. My sister is in Atlanta on Eleanor St. I will be repeating this post on FB and as many pit rescue sites as I can. Thanks again.

I am in Atlanta. I will get the word out at work (I work at a low cost vet clinic) and will post this thread on FB, and spread the word by mouth with friends.

Today, my sister's home was broken into on Eleanor St in Atlanta. Everything of value was taken along with her pit bull, Vito. The offenders used a fire extinguisher in her home to corner the dogs (they did not take her other dog, which was not a pit). I am offering a large reward for ANY information that leads to getting Vito back. Someone saw something on her street. I know it. Anyone who has information can contact me at shannie214@sbcglobal.net. Below is a picture of Vito. He is a family dog, gentle and submissive.

If you have a flyer, you can email it to me at kmloudermilk@gmail.com and I will post it up at my work

That would be great. I started a FB page called "Finding Vito". Please send it around. I know the people who took him are somehow connected to one of her neighbors. They have to be for certain reasons but "nobody saw anything". There is no way that someone pulls into a driveway and loads up TVs, computers, and tons of other stuff (including the dog) and no one saw anything on that street. We just want him back. We don't care about the electronics. Tomorrow I plan to send his reward flyer to the rescue centers and shelters. I will also try to contact the media. The Internet shows a similar incident 2 years ago in the north Atlanta area. I don't know if they ever got their pit back. Thanks so much for any help.

I am so sorry! http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/frown.png People suck, I hope you can find Vito safe and sound. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/frown.png

Vito is home!!!! He somehow got away from his captors and made it home. It looks like he's been through a really rough time and a vet visit will tell us more tomorrow. He arrived barking about 30 minutes ago dragging his back legs (he's has bad knees so we're not sure what he's been through), but he's home. I will post tomorrow with an update. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON THIS BLOG FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

Yay, that's great!! Oh poor boy, maybe he jumped out of their truck? http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/frown.png I hope he checks out ok!! Keep us posted.

Hope everything checks out okay tomorrow! Glad you got him home!

Vito has a vet appointment today. I will update everyone on how he is doing soon.

Sorry to hear about that ordeal, but I'm really glad to hear the dog made it home. Some people are so sick, hope everything goes well at the vet!!
