jfaircloth Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 This just popped up in my Facebook feed. I don't know the dogs or the owners, and I'm not anywhere near Arizona but am hoping that some folks on this board can help spread the word: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I was just coming here to post this as well. The dogs belong to a well-known agility competitor named Elicia Calhoun. Her and her dogs were in a crash and two of the dogs pictured on the link above are missing - the red one (BC) and the blue merle one (Aussie with tail). Please share this with anyone with connections to AZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy in AZ Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 This info has already been posted on ABCR 's facebook page. Narita, from these boards lives in the area near where the accident occurred in Wilcox. She is also aware of this tragedy. Hoping for the best. Update on Elicia Calhoun. She has checked herself out of the hospital and there are many out searching for the two missing dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdog Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 The FB page says one of the dogs, Nika, was found dead; apparently hit by a car. I hope they find the other alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bn_here_b4 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 My sister posted and emailed about this. I came here to see if it was true. What a horrible thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdog Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've been watching the FB page for this most of the evening while I study for an exam. One of the members started a fund for Elicia to help with vet, medical, and automobile costs. I don't know the particulars of the person who created the account, and I am hoping like hell they are trustworthy. The fund went from about 300 dollars raised an hour and half ago to OVER 5000 dollars now. The events, while tragic, have also been very revealing about the agility community, border collie community, and use of social media. Someone even offered to pay for a helicopter search. I hope they find the last dog soon! https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/bK4Ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Almost $8500 now in the fund. The dog community is amazingly caring when it comes to helping in situations like these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Anyone who knows any ranchers in the area, the dog was spotted heading north towards some cow farms. Here is the latest... Toby has been spotted moving away from the crash site she's heading somewhat north but we can't tell if it's West or east towards title so anyone who knows any of the ranchers north of I-10 please get them on the lookout for the dog going in with the cows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
