When locating an animal who is missing, I first try to determine whether the animal is still in the physical body, and if so I scan the animal’s body for injuries. Next I ask the animal if s/he is in a safe place, whether s/he knows the way home or wants to be found.
I use various techniques to track the animal. First I ask the animal for a description of their present surroundings, and also what they might have seen along the way. I ask what sounds the animal presently hears or what scents or odors s/he smells. I may use shamanic methods and remote viewing in order to see from the animal’s perspective or from an arial view.
After this I begin dowsing to find out how far the animal has traveled and in which direction the animal has gone. If s/he is traveling sometimes multiple dowsing can track the animal. Other times dowsing does no good, since by the time you reach the specified area, your animal may have moved on to a totally different area. This is one reason why tracking lost animals is a difficult process.
Finding an animal can be a frustrating and overwhelming process. The information relayed to you may not be quite enough to reunite you with your animal, especially if the animal has been picked up and taken to another location entirely. Sometimes the animal may have passed on. Determining whether or not an animal is alive is a delicate task.
Schmoo
Schmoo, a 7 year old ferret, was missing for 6 days. When I first contacted Schmoo I felt paralyzing pain in her shoulders and upper back. Schmoo described where she was, but her person Chris could not find her. The second time I contacted Schmoo she was having a lot of fun, nibbling on grass and told me there was ‘lots of land here.’ When I called Chris with the news I was told that Schmoo was attacked by a dog. Her body was found where she had told me. I was shocked to hear that Schmoo had died the day before I spoke to her. I had no idea that I had been talking to an animal who was no longer alive.
In the following stories persistence, prayer and ‘creative’ searching show how some people were reunited with their animals.
Lucy
Laura was miraculously led to her four month old kitten Lucy. Laura called from Woodstock, New York when Lucy had been missing for four days. By dowsing I found that Lucy had wandered Northwest of Laura’s home. Lucy described a green or red house with lattice work and yellow wild flowers located about one minute away from her home. She showed me a child, but also said no one had picked her up. The next day I talked to Lucy again. This time she showed me a brown house shaped like a barn, only this time in the Northeast direction. This was confusing. The only thing I was certain of was that Lucy was enclosed and could not get home.
Laura set out in the Northwest direction, and nearby she found a green house with red trim, lattice work and yellow lilies growing on the property. Lucy however was not there. Discouraged, Laura was about to leave when suddenly the owner of the property recalled seeing the kitten following a young boy home. She told Laura the boy’s street address, which was almost one mile away in the Northeast direction. Laura continued her search, and finally found her kitten Lucy a few houses down from the boy’s address. Here Lucy was being cared for at a brown house which Laura said looked very much like a barn.
Max
Sometimes people find their animals when not searching. Max was stolen in front of a grocery store. Charlotte had tied her dog up while she went into the store to shop. As she came out, she saw two women driving off with her beloved dog!
When I connected with Max, I saw him with an older lady. I described the house, which Charlotte never found. A few days later, a stranger approached Charlotte as she was posting more flyers. He had recognized Max's photo, and said that he thought her dog was living next door to him with an elderly woman. Sure enough, it was Max. Would Charlotte have found her dog if it were not for this man? Probably not.
When your animal is missing write down all the images relayed to you during a session, even if the information makes no sense to you at the time. Mary Carotenuti from West Hartford, Connecticut shares her insights:
"I would advise that you write down everything you are told (from the animal communicator) Keep reading it over and over and keep an open mind to the interpretation. For instance, my sister’s cat Omega conveyed to Dexter that she saw the color green in front of her. That was because looking out the window in the dark basement, all Omega could see was grass.
Images are often seen from the animal’s vantage point. Always keep this in mind when searching for your animal. Be open to all possibilities.
Bailey
Michelle’s dog Bailey had disappeared from her yard. Bailey told me she was with a woman and a dog at a gray house set behind a chain link fence. It appeared to be on a corner along an alley or small street with apartment buildings to one side. Michelle was certain that I was describing her own house. Fortunately the woman who had picked up Bailey answered Michelle’s flyer. When Michelle went to get her dog she was surprised to find the woman’s (lavender) house, fenced behind chain link, and like her own house, on a corner with an alley and apartment buildings to one side.
Chloe
Susie called me when her indoor cat Chloe mysteriously vanished form her 10th floor apartment. It was going on two weeks, and she had no idea where to look. Chloe showed me roofing material under her feet and conveyed to me that she was hiding up high. I then glimpsed an elevator, which made no sense to either of us at the time. Despite Susan’s several thorough yet uneventful searches for Chloe on the roof she looked once again. Still no Chloe. Susan was certain Chloe could not be up there insisting that the door to the roof was always locked. Another week passed when workmen fortunately spotted Chloe hiding in an elevator shaft on the roof.
Jesse
Carrie called me when her cat Jessie was missing. Jessie said she had gone West down the hill to a cul-de-sac. She described a one story house with a red walk way, flat bushes around the front and a shed in the back. Carrie insisted that Jessie never went down the hill, but followed my leads anyway. She found the house and called for Jessie, but did not find her. During my second session I told Jessie to get to a safe, high place and yell. The next day a neighbor called Carrie saying she thought Carrie’s cat may be yowling on her roof. Carrie ended up at the same house. Jessie had been there all the time, but had been too afraid to answer.
"You had told Jesse to make herself seen and heard. She certainly did. Thank-you Dexter, for helping me find Jesse. You are doing a great service for people." - Carrie Steirs, Los Angeles, CA
Post flyers, do the foot work, follow the leads and the direction the communicator gives you...then let go. Pray. And trust whatever unfolds.
Before I did this work, I called a communicator to find my cat Baba Looie. He had never strayed. The communicator had described my neighbor Larry’s house, two doors down from mine. Larry rolled his eyes and swore Baba was not on his property.
I had overlooked the abandoned apartment buildings (that I had not realized) Larry owned down the hill a few yards from his house. Doubting that Baba would ever venture down hill to the apartments so close to the busy Boulevard I continued my search up into the hills. I posted flyers, talked to neighbors, and prayed day and night. Three long weeks later, Larry ‘just decided’ to do some plumbing in one of the empty apartments. When he opened the door Baba hobbled out. He had survived three weeks without food or water.
Faith, prayer, intention and creativity can enhance your search. But what happens when we exhaust all our possibilities? For weeks I searched high and low for my own cat Giovanni. He disappeared in two hours. I delivered flyers to 375 homes, and had three communicators helping. There was not one sighting. I didn't know where else to look or how long to keep searching. I called another colleague who told me to ask for a neon sign. I told her I had been asking for signs, - something, somewhere, to pop out of nowhere, and give me guidance. I wasn't receiving anything. She said, "No. Ask for a neon sign. Something to hit you over the head." So I asked for a neon sign. The next day I was driving, with my mind a million miles away, when suddenly something swept my attention to the left. There was a thrift store. in front was, literally, a huge neon sign! it said, "TRUST GOD."
I stopped searching. Gino never returned. But I knew, deep down, that wherever Gino was - alive or dead, starving, or sleeping on someone's couch, he was where he was supposed to be. There are no accidents or mistakes. Only decisions, actions and consequences. Karma. I had to surrender, and trust the divine order in the universe. There are reasons why we come together, and reasons why we separate. Not all animals are meant to return to us. Some eventually return on their own. Some animals turn up years later, and others are never found. After you have done all you can, let go- without guilt. The outcome is not in your hands.
Imagine how you would feel if your companion returns. Now muster up these positive emotions and feelings as you search for her/him. Hysterical or negative emotions can effect the communication as well as the outcome. We can push our animals away and fill them with despair and fear. Remember, our animals feel our emotions. So open the heart to whatever is and whatever will be and remain calm.
There is a meditation you can do to help you focus and relax. It will also bring calming energy to your animal, clear negative energy and benefit everyone involved.
There are different versions. I like this one by Jerry Ryan, Ph.D.:
Close your eyes. Breathe slowly and follow your breath until your entire body is relaxed. "Imagine a golden cord coming from your heart center reaching out into the world searching, probing for your little ________. Latching on to him/her like a magnet and guiding him/her safely home."
You can also imagine a soft golden light. (I usually send pale green, the color of the heart chakra and the female Buddha Tara, the great protector.) Tell your animal to follow the light home.
Locating lost animals is challenging, sometimes rewarding, yet other times heartbreaking. For this reason many communicators will not take on lost cases. Click Here for a list of colleagues who also do this work.
