🎉Luna has been found🎉

Thankfully, Mike from HeatSeeker Drone Services headed out tonight and was able to locate Luna! She was found stuck by her leash, not far from her home!

We are so grateful Mike was able to find her and bring this scary adventure to a happy ending!

🚁 Amazing job, Mike! Thank you for always going above and beyond to help bring these lost pups home safely!

Missing in South Salem, NY but may have come over the border into CT (Ridgefield). This female German Shepherd was on Benedict Rd when she pulled the leash from her owner's hand when she ran after a squirrel. She may be caught on something. She is friendly but is likely scared at this point so pls do NOT call out or chase. If you see her, call the # on the flyer asap with details on when and where you saw her and what direction she was headed. If you live in the area and have security cameras, pls check them. Thank you.

🐾❤️ WILLOW HAS BEEN FOUND!!! ❤️

After a full day of adventuring in the woods, Willow apparently decided it was suppertime and made her way out to the parking lot in search of her mom and dad!
Luckily, CTDGRV Mary and Mary were in the parking lot waiting for a drone company to arrive when Willow came strolling out! She went right up to them, absolutely thrilled to see them!
Judging by her slightly chewed leash, we suspect Willow may have gotten herself tangled up somewhere in the woods and had to chew her way free!
Welcome home, Willow! ❤️🐾
Apparently, Willow was determined to make it home for dinner—even if she had to chew her way out of trouble! 😂🍗

MISSING IN REDDING
This sweet girl was able to pull away from her owner when she ran after a deer. She is dragging an 8 foot leash. We ask that you do not chase her if you see her. Although she is extremely friendly, she may be afraid and run if you try to approach her. Please call the number on the flyer with any sightings immediately.

🎉YOSHI IS HOME!🎉

Makenzie, a friend of the family’s dog walker, went down the trail with her dog looking for Yoshi. She heard him barking, followed the sound, and found him caught up on a rock wall! Thankfully, she was able to bring him home safely!
A huge thank-you to Makenzie, to the community for keeping an eye out, to Yoshi’s family for their dedication and never giving up and to CTDGRV Kym for guiding Yoshi’s family!
Now it’s time for Mom to give Yoshi a nice bath and let him settle in!

This boy went running with his leash attached near Susan Terrace in Waterford. If you see him, do not call out, chase or try to catch him. Please just call the number on the flyer with any sightings. If you live in this area, please check your security cameras and properties to see if he has come through. Please
share.

🐾❤️ ROSA HAS BEEN SAFELY TRAPPED! ❤️🐾

After quite an adventure, Rosa was safely trapped this morning!

This very sweet but scared girl came close to being caught on two separate occasions using calming signals and chicken, but she was just too frightened to trust anyone.

CTDGRV Jill and Melissa worked hard putting up over 100 posters and luckily expanded their poster coverage a little farther yesterday. That decision paid off when Rosa ventured outside her known travel area this morning!

After a sighting was called in, CTDGRV Jill and Jess spotted Rosa along a road. They spent nearly an hour sitting with her, patiently using calming signals and trying to gain her trust. At times, they were able to get within inches of her, but Rosa was just too scared to let them catch her.

Realizing she wasn’t ready to trust, they decided to place a trap and keep the area quiet.

Just two hours later, Rosa was safely trapped! ❤️

A special thank-you to the wonderful Cheshire community for reporting sightings, keeping an eye out for Rosa, and generously allowing us to use their properties for feeding stations and traps. Your help made all the difference!

Welcome back to safety, sweet Rosa! 🐾❤️

Missing in Cheshire. She is new to the area and very scared. For the safety of the dog we ask everyone to just call in sightings. We hope we can keep her to stay in an area and trap. To help us please do not post sightings nor try to get her. She will run and move out of the area. If you see her do not call her, try to get her attention, leave food, follow, or any other behavior which makes her realize you see her. The quieter we maintain her area, the better our chances of success. The exception: If you have a fenced in yard and you spot the dog in your fenced in area, please try to shut your gate and contain her. Thank you. Please share
