Runaway pet fails to be returned
Annan:
One of my sim dogs ran away. After a few days, I got the call that said someone had found my dog. The caller came over, but no dog. No interactions were possible that related to the dog, and the still-gone dog started having motive decay. Retrieve missing sim does nothing, nor does force error-delete.
When searching, I found this http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,6361.0.html thread, but the link in there is dead, and the rest of the thread wasn't terribly helpful.
I never bothered with the ZOMGPETZ!!1!! patch, because I only heard bad things about it, but I think both Seasons and H&M auto-patched on install.
Otherwise, only Awesome hacks.

I don't know if this will apply, go to another lot and watch to see if the lost dog shows up outside. If the dog turns up call the dog's owner. I had a lost dog that didn't have a collar on, I don't remember if I called him in as lost, anyway I went to a different lot and there was the dog, I called the owner and he came and got him. You could give it a try.
Annan:
No, the dog is already found and behaves as if it were on the lot; problem is the icon still shows it as runaway and it isn't on the lot.
I directed the damned dog to "go here", which made it throw an error and then re-appear on the lot. The icon still shows it as runaway, and when it threw the error, the debugger disappeared.
I'm now trying with moving the family out, bulldozing the heck out of the lot, and rebuilding. I haven't moved them in again, but I'm hoping it'll fix it.

I'm having a similiar problem. I had the owner call to report him missing, but I never got a call that he was found-he just showed up on the lot the next day.
His icon shows as runaway and I can't get the option to get him a job, but all other options show as normal.
I've tried deleting him and letting him regenerate-with no results.

I've been too lazy to do that, please post your results. ;D
Annan:
Well, I moved the family in, and the icon still shows the blasted dog as run away. However, all interactions are possible with the dog, and it shows up in the list for animals to put up for adoption, so I guess it's just a formality with the icon or something?
I'll try to give it up for adoption and adopt it back. If it comes back runaway, I'll go crazy. I swear. :D
