I would definitely put stolen... and I would include "reward for return" no questions asked....I would also indicate that all authorities/shelters have been alerted. Turn up the heat big time... the thieves will be more willing to turn loose of them.

First I would like to thank everyone for all the responses I've received, I really appreciate all the kind thoughts and words. I am trying to make up posters and I've researched the most effective poster to make. My problem is this.... do I make up the poster as stolen or lost puppies? If I make up the poster for lost puppies then I am thinking that if someone thinks they bought the pup legitimately they not think it applies to them since they bought their puppy and if I print up a poster for stolen puppies that it may scare people off from coming forward. -- Yvonne www.creekvue.com "Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight." ~Albert Schweitzer ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
