Default Wireless Dog Fence

Forgive my ignorance. I know absolutely nothing about how these work but had
a question I thought someone here may be able to answer since Google hasn't
found anything.

We used a Petsafe brand wireless dog fence with our pets two days ago and
they broke through the barrier despite being trained to go back when they
hear the beep. One of our dogs was found at our neighbor's house, but her
sister is still missing. I know you can use AM radio to find a break in the
Underground wire dog fence and was wondering if we could do something
similar to locate our missing pet if the worst has happened. We thought
maybe we could drive around our area with the transmitter in our van to set
it off and it would make a noise on the radio if she was in range. Is this a
possibility? Is there a way to know if we are near the receiver on her
collar without risking shocking her?

Sorry if the answer to this should be obvious. I am just desperate to find
her.

If you could point us to the technical spec (URL?) for the fence, then we
would be in
a better position to assist you.

You may well have come to the right place, but not enough info (for me, at
least)
to help
