LOVE IS SAFE AFTER ESCAPING A HOUSE FIRE!!

At 5am last Sunday morning, a home in Upper Lonsdale, North Vancouver, caught fire. The fire moved unbelievably fast. Within minutes, flames had blocked the doors, leaving those inside with no time to grab anything.

Thankfully, everyone inside made it out safely. Tragically, the family’s three dogs did not. Their owner suffered severe burns trying to go back inside to save them.

Their cat, Love, was also believed to have been lost in the fire.

But Love survived.

A neighbour who knew Love thought they spotted her on their home camera a couple nights after the fire. They later saw her in person and were certain it was her.

Another neighbour, Brian, who has helped with local missing dogs, knew Parker at Petsearchers and reached out for help catching her.

Love was friendly but skittish and wouldn’t allow anyone near her, so trapping was the safest option. Parker volunteered his time and set up a humane trap and camera, hoping to reunite Love with her owner during an already devastating time.

Love came by the first night and ate some food at the entrance, but wouldn’t go inside. The camera footage confirmed what everyone was hoping for, it really was Love.

Last night, the trap was reset, and bait was moved a bit further inside.

Around 1am, Love finally went in.

Parker called Brian, who lives a couple doors away, and he went over and safely brought Love inside.

Today, Love was finally reunited with her owner.

After everything this family has been through, we hope having Love home can provide even just a little bit of comfort during such an incredibly difficult time.

A huge thank you to Mike and Ryan for the sightings and for allowing us to place the trap on their property. Their own home, directly next door to the fire, also caught fire and is currently not livable. Despite everything they are going through themselves, they still helped make Love’s rescue possible.

And a very special thank you to Brian for reaching out, communicating with us, and rebaiting the trap. Your help, compassion, and care for your neighbour has been truly admirable.

Sometimes, after something so devastating, one little bit of good news can mean everything.

Welcome home, Love.

We don’t typically share GoFundMe links, but Love’s family lost everything in the devastating house fire, and they’re now facing the difficult task of rebuilding their lives. If you’d like to support her, the link is below.

TWIG IS HOME SAFE AFTER MISSING FOR 2 DAYS!!

Parker and Julia at Petsearchers are so happy to share that Twig, a rescue dog, is home safe after going missing for the last two days!

Twig disappeared while visiting a friend’s house in Vancouver. She found herself loose in a very busy area and was being chased, leaving her extremely frightened and difficult to approach.

There were several sightings throughout the first day, but Twig would disappear almost immediately whenever someone got close. Once it became dark, she was nearly impossible to spot.

Yesterday, Petsearchers was contacted and Parker started the search. He got the thermal drone up, but with rain falling for most of the day, Twig was likely hiding under or inside something. Parker returned in the evening after a few more sightings came in, but Twig continued moving quickly through the area, crossing Victoria Drive, Commercial Drive and Knight Street.

These are incredibly busy streets, but Twig must have been very street-smart and managed to keep herself safe.

This morning, Julia put up large posters throughout the areas Twig had been travelling. We had a general loop figured out, but it was still a huge area to cover.

Then this afternoon, the posters worked!

Someone spotted Twig hiding in some bushes and called the number on our poster. Petsearchers and Twig’s owner rushed over, and because Twig and her owner are so incredibly bonded, the moment Twig heard her owner’s voice, she came out of hiding.

She was so happy to see her, and now she’s home safe and sound!

Thank you to those who called in sightings and helped look for Twig!

What an amazing ending to a stressful two days!

Rest in Peace, Taeri

Parker at Petsearchers is heartbroken to share that we have learned Taeri was tragically hit by a vehicle on Highway 1, near her home, on the Saturday she went missing.

We received a couple of messages about an animal that had been struck in the area. After investigating further and speaking with the person who originally reported it, we feel confident that the animal was Taeri. Thank you so much to the people who shared the sighting, it’s not an easy thing to do but it was an important bit of information to receive.

We are still working at finding out who picked up Taeri and where she was taken, as she wasn’t brought to any shelters. We hope to be able to bring her home to her family one last time.

Our deepest condolences go out to Taeri’s family. We wish we could have brought her home, but we hope that knowing what has happened can at least provide some answers and closure.

Rest in peace, Taeri. You were loved, and you will not be forgotten.

LYLA IS HOME AFTER 3 DAYS!!!

Parker at Petsearchers is so happy to share that Lyla has been found and is finally home safe after three long days missing!

This sweet puppy was spooked during a thunderstorm and took off. Unfortunately, no one saw which direction she ran, making the search incredibly difficult, especially in this large rural area.

Parker spent hours searching with the thermal drone, checking properties, forests, fields and surrounding areas, but there was no sign of Lyla. With no sightings and no way of knowing how far she may have travelled, her family was becoming increasingly worried.

Throughout the search, Parker kept reminding them to stay optimistic. We weren’t going to stop searching until we found her.

Then, today, with the sun back out, everything changed!

A group of young landscapers working on a property about a kilometer away, spotted Lyla running out of the yard. They immediately shut off their loud equipment and were able to calmly coax her in. The property owner then found Parker’s online post and called him.

Parker was only one minute away when he got the call!

When he arrived, Lyla was sitting safely on the back porch with the homeowners. Parker carefully got her into his truck and brought her home.

When he arrived, he told Lyla’s owner that he had brought Hunter, his bloodhound, along and asked them to come to the truck and say hi.

When Parker opened the back hatch of the truck… there was Lyla.

Her owner couldn’t believe her eyes. The emotion of finally seeing her baby safe and sound was overwhelming!

Lyla was a very dirty after three days on her own, but she was in great shape, incredibly happy to see her family, and so happy to be home.

What an incredible ending to a very stressful three days.

Welcome home sweet girl!!

We’re so happy we could be there to help bring this sweet girl home, and thank you to these landscapers for making all the difference!

OBO HAS BEEN FOUND AFTER 6 DAYS!!!

Obo, an indoor-only former rescue cat, was outside in the yard on his leash when a sudden sound spooked him. He slipped out of his harness and disappeared.

Obo is extremely skittish and an expert at hiding, so his owners became increasingly worried as the days passed. They reached out to Parker at Petsearchers for help.

Parker and Hunter conducted a thorough search of the surrounding apartment complexes before moving toward a heavily treed area leading to the Fraser River. Hunter picked up Obo’s scent leading down toward the water.

The area was quiet, cool, had little foot traffic, and provided plenty of cover. Obo’s scent was found along several trails, so rather than risk pushing farther in and flushing him out, a scent trail was placed back toward the apartment and a camera was set up to monitor the door.

Another indoor-outdoor cat had been visiting overnight, likely preventing Obo from coming home. A couple nights later, the cat didn’t show up and at 1 AM, Obo finally appeared on camera!

He had made his way all the way back to the apartment and even went inside through an open door, but immediately ran back out.

His owner patiently waited outside, following Parker’s guidance. After about two hours, Obo finally came close enough for his owner to safely pick him up and bring him inside.

Lots of cuddles followed!

His family was incredibly relieved to finally have their sweet boy home after six long days.

We’re so happy we could help bring Obo home safely and reunite him with his family!

AFTER 4 WEEKS, JERRY HAS BEEN TRAPPED BY PETSEARCHERS!!

This was definitely a unique case!

Jerry and Kit, two indoor-only cats, moved to a new home back in July. The move was extremely stressful for them, and both cats became very anxious and ran into the basement to hide.

Kit found a small hiding spot, while Jerry discovered a hole in the basement flooring and disappeared inside. Their owners tried everything to get them out, but after weeks of hiding, they knew they needed help.

The cats were still coming out overnight to eat, drink and use the litter box, but would quickly retreat back into hiding whenever anyone was around.

Parker came out to assess the situation and set up a humane trap for Jerry. When he arrived, Kit was actually in an area where he could reach her. Because she was extremely anxious and defensive, Parker put on his thick bite-proof gloves and was able to safely get Kit into a carrier. She was then brought upstairs to a quiet room where she could decompress.

Now it was time to focus on Jerry.

The trap was set, but Jerry didn’t make things easy!

For several days, there was no sign of her. Eventually, she appeared and ate just the tiny amount of food placed at the very front of the trap before disappearing back into the floor.

So we changed the strategy.

The food was slowly moved farther and farther into the trap. Each time Jerry appeared, she would venture a little farther inside.

Day by day, she became more comfortable.

Finally, after FOUR WEEKS of hiding inside the flooring, Jerry went far enough into the trap to trigger it.

CAUGHT!

Jerry was finally safe and could be reunited with Kit, where both girls could begin decompressing in a quiet environment.

Jerry is still very skittish and anxious, and she will be seeing her veterinarian to discuss medication to help her through this transition. Kit, thankfully, is already doing much better.

It will take some time, patience and plenty of reassurance, but we’re confident Jerry will be back to her happy self.

We’re so glad we could help bring these sweet girls home. Welcome home, Jerry and Kit!

MILLIE IS BACK HOME SAFE!!!

Millie, a recently rescued dog, went missing yesterday after her harness ripped and her leash came undone during a walk. She was staying in an RV at Langley’s Thunderbird Stadium, where a large event was taking place. With hundreds of trailers, lots of people, noise and activity all around, it was a difficult environment for a frightened dog to navigate back to her family.

Parker at Petsearchers was called in this morning and immediately started the search.

A thermal drone was used to search numerous properties around the area, but much of the surrounding land was large acreage with abandoned barns, buildings and plenty of places for a scared dog to hide. Parker physically searched these areas as well.

As things started to quiet down and temperatures cooled this evening, Parker returned to continue the search. Cameras were placed along a path where Millie had been spotted, as well as back at the RV where she was staying.

Even though the RV was deep inside the stadium grounds and surrounded by hundreds of other trailers, Parker knew there was a good chance Millie might try to make her way back once everything became quiet.

And sure enough…

As Parker was getting ready to leave after setting the camera and was walking away, there was Millie, just 30 feet from the RV!

Millie was trying to get back home, so we had to move quickly.

A humane trap was set right beside the RV, and Parker stayed in his truck to keep watch. It wasn’t long before Millie appeared. She checked out the trap, sniffed around the RV and made it very clear that she wanted to get back inside.

Parker called Millie’s owner and had her quietly open the RV door and hide inside. Parker, waiting in his truck, was ready to close the door behind her.

The plan worked perfectly.

Minutes later, Millie walked right up to the RV and went inside. Parker came up behind her, closed the door, and Millie was finally HOME SAFE!

She immediately jumped into her bed, her safe place and curled up and went straight to sleep.

She was completely exhausted, but safe and back with her family. And you can already see the incredible bond between Millie and her people.

We’re so happy we could help bring this sweet girl home. This was a dangerous area for a loose dog, and we’re incredibly thankful this search ended with Millie safely back where she belongs.

Stay safe, sweet girl. Welcome home, Millie!

SESAME IS HOME SAFE!!

Sesame, an indoor-only kitty, escaped from her sitter’s house after managing to push open a small opening in a window screen and getting outside.

She was initially seen close to the house and even tried to climb back through the window, but wasn’t able to get inside. When a door was left open, Sesame became frightened and ran off.

The sitter reached out to Parker and Petsearchers for help.

After assessing the situation, Parker determined that the biggest risk was accidentally spooking Sesame away from the sitter’s house. Since she was in an unfamiliar area and a quiet apartment complex, the goal was to avoid flushing her out and causing her to travel farther away.

Parker decided to set up a humane trap and camera to monitor the area without putting pressure on her.

Sure enough, Sesame appeared on camera that night! She walked past the trap several times over a couple of hours but didn’t seem interested in going inside.

At around 1 AM, Parker reached out to the sitter and came up with a new plan.

The sitter was also looking after Sesame’s very bonded brother. We had the sitter place her brother securely in a carrier, leave the door to inside the house slightly open, and put some wet food nearby as well. The idea was to use the familiar sight and smell of her brother to encourage Sesame to come back into the house.

The sitter then waited quietly near the door.

About two hours later, Sesame finally snuck her way inside. The sitter was ready, quickly closed the door, and Sesame was safely back inside!

After such a stressful situation involving someone else’s cat, the sitter was incredibly thankful to have Petsearchers there to help come up with a safe recovery plan.

From Sesame’s sitter:
“Parker is extremely professional and knowledgeable. In less than a day we were able to recover our lost cat.”

Welcome back, Sesame!

Today, we said goodbye to our sweet Bloodhound, Cricket.

Although Cricket was never one of our working tracking dogs, she was always a part of the Petsearchers family and team. She was there for the adventures, the long days, and always greeted everyone with a wagging tail.

What we’ll miss most is seeing her out in the yard. It won’t be the same without her, and we know Trapper is going to miss his best friend more than anyone. The two of them were inseparable.

Thank you for all the love you gave us over the years, Cricket.

Run free, sweet girl. We’ll miss you so much.

18 YEAR OLD CAT FOUND AFTER 31 DAYS MISSING!!

Sunny, an indoor-only cat, went missing in June and seemingly vanished without a trace. At 18 years old, time was critical, and his owners searched tirelessly for weeks with no sign of him.

Just as hope was beginning to fade, someone posted a photo online on July 23 of a cat hanging around the Richmond Hospital parking lot. It was Sunny!

His owners rushed there immediately, but unfortunately he was nowhere to be found.

After several more days without any luck, they knew they needed help and contacted Petsearchers.

Julia arrived with Hunter and completed a thorough scent search of the hospital grounds, the surrounding forest, and nearby apartment buildings. Hunter located Sunny’s scent around the apartments, with additional scent found in the hospital parking lot and a small wooded area beside a pond.

Based on the scent work, we believed Sunny had likely been hiding near the apartments while travelling back and forth to the hospital in search of food, using the nearby pond as a reliable water source.

After the search, Julia developed a detailed recovery plan for Sunny’s owners, including placing posters throughout the area and focusing their efforts on the locations where Hunter had confirmed Sunny’s scent.

A few days later, that plan paid off.

The posters alerted another Good Samaritan, who spotted Sunny back at the hospital and immediately contacted his owner. This time, they arrived quickly enough to keep him in sight and gently coax him to safety.

After 31 days missing, Sunny is finally home where he belongs. He has since been examined by a veterinarian and is doing well.

For an 18-year-old cat to survive on his own for over a month is nothing short of incredible. What an amazing little survivor!

A huge thank you to the person who first posted Sunny’s sighting online, and to the second Good Samaritan who spotted him again and called right away. Your actions helped bring this senior kitty home.

From Sunny’s owner:

“Thanks for your help. Without your work, I doubt we would have been able to locate him this quickly. Thank you so much.”
