getting very close to finding him.

According to what you've written on the Corgi Rescue list, you knew who
took Bear and where he was located not long after he was taken. That
the local law enforcement was not helpful to you was unfortunate.

"We are onto a dog stealing affair down here."

If you are referring to the dog you've mistakenly identified as Bear,
then you are on to no such thing. Your original telling of Bear's
disappearance indicated he was taken by someone known to you at least
as an acquaintance.

There are a number of productive things one can do which can be found
on some of these websites:
