The Elledge family is seeking their dog, Tito, who disappeared on May 25 while under the care of a pet sitter.

It’s a sign as old as canine and feline – flyers of missing pets posted around town. But is there a more effective way of getting your pet home sooner and safely?

The family said they went on a week-long vacation and left their puppy at the pet grooming facility, but when they returned, the facility said the dog was gone.
