Kojo's Letter

My name is Kojo and I am a dog who desperately needs your help. I have been searching for my family for just over 3 years now. Extreme circumstances now call for extreme measures and I am reaching out to the public to help me.


I am told that my family probably has children, maybe another dog, but no cats. They are any size, shape or age. I don’t really know what they look like, because technically, I haven’t met them yet.

I began my search for my family at the Moncton SPCA about 3 years ago. They never came to find me, so I tried my luck at the Bathurst SPCA. While I was in Bathurst, someone mentioned that they thought my family might be looking for me at the Oromocto SPCA, so I found a ride and travelled here. The girls here at the shelter told me when I arrived here that my family would definitely find me now. And each day, they say “Maybe today is the day. Maybe today they will find you.” Everyone is constantly keeping an eye out for my family. And every day, I make sure that my fur is beautiful and brushed, my area is clean and tidy, and that I greet everyone who comes to visit. And I wait.

It’s not my family’s fault. They just don’t know where to look for me. Maybe they have been into the shelter and I missed seeing them and they missed seeing me. Maybe they haven’t come into the shelter yet, but every place they go, they peek around the corner, expecting to see me. I like to imagine them watching tv at night, looking over on the spot where I should be; going out for walks, wishing I was there to share the crisp fall mornings, and knowing that on a bad day at work or school, they are looking for that cuddle that only I can give them!

Sp please, dear Reader, if you happen to see my family, let them know I am here. Let them know that once we meet, I will be the best dog that they have ever had. I know they’re out there, looking for me. Just as much as I am looking for them.

Patiently waiting,

Kojo.
