Hoo boy. Ugh.
Those are the words I have to use to describe how huge is the area that Leo is traveling, according to what we've learned from the track that was done on his scent this afternoon. It's an enormous area, and he's covered it from overnight Saturday night until Thursday. The track is mapped on this blog in the Leo Links section at right; take a look.
This area is about 95% residential, and covers a lot of ground, so we are working to formulate a strategy for covering such a wide area that is almost entirely homes -- single family homes, townhouses and condos, and some apartments. It will be hard to cover it all with just fliers, and hard to cover it any other way, as well. We are looking for ways to reach as many people as we can, knowing that we will only be able to get so many fliers out this weekend unless we have an incredible show of volunteers on Saturday afternoon.
We do know of findtoto.com and it has a competitor; Leo's rescue organization has agreed to pay for the track with Pure Gold Pet Trackers, and their funds won't stretch enough to cover the Find Toto calls as well. So that resource may go untapped.
Do you know Alexandria VA residents near the Parkfairfax and Beverly Hills areas as well as the areas that surround them? Please reach out to us using the comment feature of this blog if you have any suggestions at all!
Meanwhile, we are meeting in Parkfairfax at 3pm on Saturday to begin fliering this large, and most likely growing, area where Leo is moving.

Do you have a flier made that has pull-off tags on the bottom?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could enlist the help of a group such as the DelRay Dog Owners who are always out walking and would notice a stray. http://www.ddog.org/
ReplyDeleteI am down on East Reed Avenue and will keep my eyes open.
Contact the local radio stations with details and have them air it a few times a day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteMarita, appreciate the reminder that I need to get the flier into a version with the pull-tabs. Time doesn't allow me to re-format it that way before we go out today, but I can do that this evening, and post it.
Anah, I knew of that group years ago -- will send the flier to them!
Anonymous -- sending press releases to radios and all media is on our list but we are short handed and haven't been able to accomplish it yet. If you can lend a hand in this area, please email me. Thanks!
