Sherlock Bones Lost 'N Hound Dog Recovery

Sherlock Bones Lost 'N Hound Dog Recovery A local group of animal lovers dedicated to reuniting owners with their lost family members with four paws The forming of our team, was a slow one.

Not because we were searching for the right people, but because it took time for the world to truly bring us together in the way it has. It needed to let us grow and learn on our own to realize where our very own skills were and hone them so when we came together we would rock it like we were meant to. We work well together and each member brings a lot of the same knowledge to the team, but we are

all also very skilled in certain areas that other's may still be learning the knowledge on or maybe it’s just not their strength. But that’s what makes us so amazing. We have truly learned to rely on each other for those strengths!!! It's our desire to bring dog's back home to their owners that allows us to operate so fluid like!!! WE are ALL 100% dedicated to the task before us from beginning to end. We do not just give up, quit, or walk away. We have even more in the last few months learned the strengths and weaknesses of our team members. We have rallied around each other during tough cases and have appreciated every little bit of help we offer each other - physically being on scene, helping to create fliers, hang fliers, or offering words of encouragement. Lost dog tracking and recovery can be tiring, mentally draining, and time consuming. Without each other - we wouldn't be where we are right now. We will continue to grow and continue to succeed - because we not only believe in ourselves - but each other as well!!! It’s the ability to lean on each other and bounce ideas off of each other that enable us to be so successful. While we have all worked together in one way or another over the last couple of years, it was at the end of October that we truly started forming our official group and became a team. If you have any questions, please, feel free to contact us!!!

Town of Tonawanda — COCO IS HOME! 🐾❤️Coco escaped through the fence at her home almost three weeks ago, and what followed was a long, heartbreaking journey for her family.Family members and friends tried everything they could to catch her, but Coco just kept moving and hiding. She eventually showed up at the DuPont plant, both in the parking lot and on the other side of the fence inside the plant. Security would spot her, but the moment they looked in her direction, Coco would run.We were given permission to set up a camera, feeding station, and trap in the parking lot, but Coco never returned. Days would go by between sightings, and every day without knowing where she was became more stressful for her family.Then, finally, the family received a call from an out-of-state number. A woman who worked at the GM plant next to DuPont had spotted Coco. She gave her food and water. Then came a couple more sightings from two men who also worked at the GM plant. They were seeing Coco, and most importantly, she was eating.That food and water made all the difference. It gave Coco a reason to stay in the area instead of continuing to move.After nearly three weeks, we finally felt like we had Coco in the position we needed her to be in so that we could safely trap her.But once again, we had to go through the proper channels and get permission to enter the property and set everything up. That process takes time, and while we understand that these things have to be done the right way, it can be incredibly frustrating and heartbreaking for families who are waiting, knowing their dog is right there.Today, Mark, DCO for the Town of Tonawanda, met up with one of our volunteers and got us right into the plant. Mark helped us set up the camera and trap.One of our contacts there was a woman named Karen, and she was absolutely amazing. She told us that if we needed anything, just let her know. She said we could come and go as needed to help get Coco safely home.And then came the moment we had been waiting for. ❤️It took about three hours, but Coco finally showed up at the trap. Not long after, she walked right in, got her food, and...THE REST IS HISTORY! 🐾❤️TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!We cannot thank the workers at the GM plant enough for spotting Coco and, most importantly, giving her the food and water she needed to keep her in that area. You may never know just how important what you did was, but you helped bring Coco home.To Karen, Mark, Town of Tonawanda DCO , the workers at GM, Coco’s family, and everyone who helped along the way — THANK YOU!It took almost three weeks, patience, teamwork, permission, persistence, and a whole lot of heart.But tonight, Coco is finally where she belongs.WELCOME HOME, COCO! 🐾❤️🏡Another lost dog safely home.Another family reunited.**Another reminder that when everyone works together, amazing things can happen.

Town of Tonawanda — Molly is SAFE! 🐾❤️Thank you, Kelly, for being in the right place at the right time when Georgia was looking for help finding her lost foster dog, Molly. 🐾❤️ Sometimes the timing of a chance encounter is everything, and today it made all the difference for Molly!Molly was newly adopted and new to the area when she got out shortly after arriving at her new home. Thankfully, she stayed close by. A neighbor kept a watchful eye on her and was seeing Molly throughout the day. She was also showing up on Ring cameras, but she was terrified and wouldn’t let anyone get close enough to her.Every day, Molly would come around when she saw people walking their dogs. It became a routine, and the neighbors continued watching and keeping an eye out for her.On Tuesday evening around 7:30 PM, Molly finally went into the trap after we spent some time conditioning her to it. She was very afraid of the trap, so getting her comfortable enough to enter was a huge accomplishment.Our volunteers typically use between two and four slip leads when taking a dog out of a trap because we never want to take any chances. We had two slip leads on Molly. But as soon as she came through the gate, she started rolling around like an alligator! 🐊 Somehow, she managed to slip right out of the leads and was once again on the run.We were worried she might not return to the trap after that, but Molly surprised us. She came back!Today, she actually went halfway into the trap when the rain started. Then, around 2 PM, something amazing happened.One of the neighbors who had been watching out for Molly all along was walking their own dog when Molly came right up to them. They used their dog’s leash to make a slip lead, got it around Molly’s neck, and somehow managed to get her over to the trap and safely inside. They shut the door, and Molly was secured! 🙌❤️This time, we weren’t taking ANY chances.Instead of trying to get Molly out of the trap, we backed the trap right up to the truck and loaded the entire trap into the back of the truck with Molly safely inside! 😂She was transported to one of our volunteer’s homes, where her original foster came to pick her up. We carefully put a collar and leash on her, along with two more slip leads for extra security.And Molly? She chewed through another one! 😳😂But this time, we got her safely into the vehicle, and she is now heading back home with her original foster. ❤️Molly was definitely tired after her adventure. She is also limping, so her foster is going to get her to a veterinarian to make sure she is okay and find out what is going on with her leg.After all the fear, running, slipping out of leads, and dodging everyone who was trying to help her…MOLLY IS SAFE AT LAST! 🥹❤️🐾A huge thank-you to the neighbors who never stopped watching for her and especially to the neighbor who happened to be walking their dog at exactly the right time today. Your patience and persistence helped bring Molly home safely.And thank you, Kelly, for being there at exactly the right time when Georgia reached out for help. What started as Georgia looking for someone to help find her lost foster dog ended with Molly safely back with the person who loves her. ❤️Welcome back, sweet girl. Now it’s time to rest, get checked out, and finally be **SAFE

Sanborn — Little Nugget Is Safe! 🐾❤️We were sent a message about a small tan dog running onto Chew Road near 31 in Sanborn. Some good Samaritans were trying to help secure the dog.This little dog was so frightened. One of our volunteers headed over there and found the area where somebody had left him a bowl of water and some treats.So, we decided to put our camera up there along with a feeding station. A few hours later, he showed up to eat.Volunteers headed back over and saw him running down the road towards a vehicle. He was heading right towards the trap area.This little dog was in and out of that trap so much. He was even on top of it! But it didn’t take long and the door finally shut.The mosquitoes were horrendous. This poor little dog was covered in mosquitoes, and every single one we took off of him was filled with blood. It was heartbreaking to see him covered in them, and we were so relieved to finally get him secured and somewhere safe.This little nugget is now at the Niagara County SPCA and is safe. ❤️If this dog looks familiar to you or anyone else, please get in contact with the Niagara County SPCA.A big thank you to the Niagara County SPCA for taking in this little nugget. No matter the day or time of day, there is always an officer available to meet one of our volunteers at the SPCA so we can safely deliver the pup. We truly appreciate them always being there when these dogs need them. ❤️And thank you to the person or persons that originally set the food out. We did use that spot to continue with the trapping, and he is now safe.

Lackawanna — Maisey Is Finally Safe! ❤️🐾

Maisey, who was recently adopted, got loose from her new home and was on the run for a little over a week.

At first, Maisey was chased, but once everyone stopped pursuing her, she settled into an area and became much harder to find. One of the volunteers from the rescue that Maisey came from had fostered her for eight months, so we hoped that bringing her back to the area might help. We were right about one thing—Maisey was absolutely thrilled to see her foster mom!

The moment her foster stepped out of the car, Maisey came running and jumping around excitedly. Her foster was going to sit down on the ground to let Maisey come to her, but before she could even take another step, Maisey bolted.

We immediately put out several feeding stations with cameras. We also called in Nate from Thermal Seek Drone to help locate her. Nate searched for more than two hours, but Maisey was nowhere to be found on the thermal drone.

We believed she may have found water behind an apartment complex, including a baby pool, and thought she was likely staying somewhere in that general area. There were also houses nearby where the drone couldn’t get a clear view. With no sightings for a while, Nate even flew away from the area, thinking Maisey may have traveled somewhere else.

Then finally, the sighting we needed came in.

Maisey was back in that same area—or perhaps she had never left at all. She had simply found the perfect hiding spot close to the houses where she couldn’t be seen.

Maisey was extremely skittish at first. She kept darting in and out of the trap, which is exactly why conditioning her was so important. We gave her time, food, and plenty of fresh water while allowing her to become comfortable with the trap.

And then, around 5 AM the next morning, Maisey finally went in and was SAFE! ❤️

After being on the run for more than a week, Maisey is now back where she belongs—with the foster who loved and cared for her for eight months.

This was a long and stressful recovery, but Maisey never gave up, and neither did her rescue team. Welcome home, sweet Maisey! 🐾

⸻🐾 Safe and Secured in Lockport! ❤️One of our volunteers received a call today from the Town of Lockport Dog Control about a dog that had been roaming a neighborhood for several days.The neighbors had been doing an amazing job looking out for this sweet pup. They had been putting out food and plenty of bowls of fresh water to help keep the dog hydrated during this extreme heat. Jim, the Town of Lockport Dog Control Officer, spent quite a bit of time trying to safely contain her. She seemed like she wanted to be rescued, but every time someone got too close, she would quietly move away.One of the neighbors continued putting out food and water, and Dog Control placed a crate with a blanket inside, giving her a safe place to rest.Once we knew she was consistently stopping to eat, we headed right out, set up one of our humane traps and a camera, and in less than an hour, she was secured! 🐾❤️She was transported by the Town of Lockport Dog Control to the Niagara County SPCA, where she was scanned for a microchip. Unfortunately, no chip was found.She is an incredibly sweet, friendly girl who looked so relieved to finally be safe.If this dog looks familiar to you, please contact the Niagara County SPCA.A huge thank you to Jim from the Town of Lockport Dog Control and to everyone in the neighborhood who helped care for her by providing food, fresh water, and keeping an eye on her. Your kindness made all the difference and allowed us to secure her quickly.Teamwork saves lives. ❤️🐾
