Working with Missing Animals

If you are reading this page, you are probably missing an animal and looking for some help. You are also most likely upset about the situation.

Please take 3 deep breaths and some Rescue Remedy* (if you have it).

It is recommended that you read carefully all the information on this page so that you have realistic expectations about what an Animal Communicator can do to help you.

There is also a great deal of information herein that will be useful to you as you seek to reconnect with and find your lost animal.

Nedda has a specific way of conducting a session to help with a lost animal. Over the years, she has found that this method works best for her.

Nedda requires a photograph of the missing animal.
The fee for a lost animal session is $150, payable in advance for up to 90 minutes. The time will be broken up into various segments, depending on what is needed to help you.

After the photograph and payment are received, Nedda will schedule and hold:

An intake telephone conversation with you to gather background information and to discuss what you can be doing to find the animal.
A conversation with the missing animal and possibly with other animal members of your family.

In the beginning, Nedda prefers to speak with the animal alone, at first. She uses a photograph to make sure she is speaking with the right animal.

Human emotions are intense when an animal is missing and this eliminates some of the emotional static that would block a clear channel for communication with the animal.
A follow-up conversation with you and the animal in which Nedda shares the information she has gathered. Then, you and the animal and Nedda talk together.
Sometimes Nedda will request a map and use dowsing techniques to try to pinpoint where the animal is at the time of the conversation.

Understanding the Challenge

Working with missing animals is the most difficult work an Animal Communicator can undertake.

You and your missing animal both may experience a variety of intense and conflicting emotions all at once, including anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, and guilt.

Often the missing animal is confused and might even be imagining what he or she wishes were true, rather than staying in the present moment and giving accurate information about where they are.

Here is a true story which illustrates an animal's confused messages:

While moving cross-country with her two cats, Brandy and Whiskey, one of my clients, Sally, called me frantically. She had stopped for her first night at a motel which accepted animals. Due to space limitations in her car, she had only one carrier to move the cats between their cage in the vehicle and their room.

Early that morning, while transferring Whiskey back to the car, Brandy ran out the door of the hotel room into a hallway. She saw him dart behind a soda machine. Staying as calm as possible, she hurried Whiskey into the car and then came back to collect Brandy. However, when she looked for him in the narrow space behind the soda machine, he was no longer there.

When I spoke with Brandy, he insisted he was under a bed in a dark, safe space. He also told me he had gone upstairs and was on another floor.

Sally told me there were doors at both ends of the hall, as well as between the hall and the stairs. He would have had to go through a door at the top of the stairs to get into the corridor.

I suggested that Sally enlist the help of Hotel staff for the search, and to offer a reward to motivate the busy, low-paid staff. The search went on for many hours.

Looking in rooms emptying of travelers soon revealed that the beds were on platforms and there was no way a cat could squeeze underneath them. So if he wasn't under a bed, where could Brandy be?

Finally, someone offered to move the soda machine to look behind it. There, to everyone's great relief, was Brandy, who had crawled into the bottom of the machine, a dark warm space reminiscent of his "under the bed" safety spot in his old home.

This story had a very happy ending, but every missing animal situation is different, and not all are as easily or happily resolved.

How Nedda Can Help

When a client calls about a missing animal, my first responsibility is to help them understand what an Animal Communicator can and can not do to help.

These are some of the things Nedda can do for you.

Check out the physical body for heartbeat, breath, and life force; check to see if the body is injured.

Since life force can stay with the body for awhile even after the spirit has departed, knowing whether the animal is living or has passed on is not always easy to determine.
Share with you what the animal is feeling and experiencing.

By helping the animal to calm down, Nedda can encourage them to find their courage to deal with their situation. In addition, she can often figure out what their motivations were for going off, if that is the situation.
Help clarify the circumstances surrounding the situation and help resolve any emotional issues that my be underlying the animal's situation.

Some animals are truly "lost", as in they don't know where they are in relationship to where they started out. Others are having adventures and feel they know how to get home and will do so when they are ready to return.
Help you see how the situation may be a reflection of your issues.

Sometimes animal's leave when there are things going on in your life that you may not think affect them, but, in fact, do affect them. When these can be addressed in some way, the entire situation may be resolved.
Help you create the Gold Cord Connection.

This is a connection between your heart center and the heart of your animal. This is more than just loving your animal. It is a "bridge" of energy that can help the animal find their way home. Nedda will teach you how to use this technique.
Help you stay in a positive frame of mind.

Knowing how to invoke the Law of Attraction to bring into your life the results you choose and learning to notice and understand the subtle messages the Universe might be trying to send you about the situation can be critical to resolution.
Review ideas from pet detectives that have been successful in lost animal situations.

Nedda cannot guaranty to get your animal back to you.

Nedda will do her best to give you the most complete and timely information she receives in as much detail as possible. However, what may be the case at the time of the session can change within a few moments.
Also, what the animal is seeing, hearing, or smelling can be important clues as to where the animal is, but also can be confusing. The human sense of smell is very weak compared to the animals. Our vision works differently and we are higher off the ground than the animal may be. Our hearing is less sharp and has a narrower range.

Also, please note: Accuracy in the world of psychic abilities averages about 80-85%. Nedda strives to maintain that level of accuracy in her work.

Things You Can Do

There is a great deal of detective work that is helpful in finding a missing animal. These activities must be done by the person whose animal is lost, with help from family and friends where possible. Here are some of the things you can do:

Make up a poster with a color picture of the animal (if possible) and distribute it door-to-door to neighbors and stores in the area where the animal has been lost.
Offer a reward and put the amount of the reward on the poster. People have a lot going on in their lives and may need a motivation to help you.
Contact all animal shelters, veterinarians, and animal control officers. GIVE THEM THE POSTER.
Check with the shelters every few days, as they sometimes get an animal and don't follow through, i.e., they may not check for a "chip", or even read the dog tags and call the number on the tags. Therefore, it is recommended that you VISIT the shelters every few days to make sure they do not have your animal.
Place ads in local papers.
Contact local radio and TV stations offer free service messages for missing animals .
Contact internet sites that help search for lost animals, such as
Dogfind! at www.dogfind.com
National Pet Recovery at www.petrecovery.com
or that provide good information for searching, such as
Missing Pet Network at www.missingpet.net
Go door to door and TALK TO PEOPLE. People are more responsive if they see a face and know how much you care about your animal.
Stay as calm as possible and keep your thoughts positive! What you focus on is what you manifest in your life, so hold a picture in your mind of your animal home safe and sound.
Contact a pet detective. This is a new profession and you want to make sure you ask for references. Some of pet detectives have dogs trained to search. ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS so you know exactly what the person can and cannot do for you.

Some people like to hire more than on Animal Communicator to help them.

There are times when having more than one person working with you can be extremely helpful.

However, please keep in mind that "too many cooks can spoil the broth", and too many people working with the same confused and frightened animal can muddy the situation.
