WARREN, NJ — A Warren family is still desperately trying to find their missing dog Macie who went missing on Wednesday.
Jason Blake is continuing to ask the community for help by posting flyers, sharing their social media posts, using drones, or calling in sightings in hopes of bringing her home to his wife and kids.
"We've heard stories that she can survive and she can make it. But we don't know where she is. She's lost and we are ready to find her," Blake told Patch.

There have been a number of sightings in the area including in Watchung but Blake said they turned out to be another missing white dog.
Blake said he was "perplexed" on her whereabouts. "I am not sure where to put my money on."
Working remotely, Blake has been endlessly searching for Macie in between taking Zoom meetings on the fly at Starbucks and other business parking lots.
He even started a Facebook group called Macie the Havapoo where he posts daily updates on Macie.
Blake is hoping the more exposure Macie's flyer gets the better his chances of finding her.
"I am not giving up because we love this [dog]," said Blake.
The best way to help is to share Macie's flyer and to call Blake with sightings. He urges anyone not to chase or call out to her in fear of her getting scared.
"I'll chase down any lead. We just need people to know what to do," said Blake. "Do not chase her, just give me a call."
If anyone sees Macie, call Blake and his family at 917-568-1984 or 917-848-5813 or K9 Experts at 212-599-1800.
