If you know where he is - even if something awful has happened to Theo - please let Evon know on 09 4353202. Locals - please check your sheds etc - He may be hiding. Any news is better than not knowing what has happened - Please help.

Tonight marks 23 weeks since Skoota went missing from the property on Daroux Drive Waipapa.
Skoota is a Foxy X Jack Russell , 10YO and 10 months .

If you know where SKOOTA is - Do the right thing.

He is mainly white with a brown spot on his back by his tail and has a fading brown face and ears because of his age.
We want him back with his whanau and the people who love him.
We owe Skoota to keep looking for him, the same way he will look for us for the rest of his life.
If you know something or someone who has Skoota just contact us.
From tonight there is a $5000.00 reward for his safe and unconditional return, no questions asked.
We have been dealing with crooks, idiots for the last 5 months ... so do not even try your chance and waste our time if you do not have Skoota.
We know our boy so well (we had him for 10 full years) that we will not be mistaken.
So if you have him just do the right thing.
