Remember this sweet girl that busted out her Mom’s window 8 days ago?
Early this morning, her Mom got the camera alert, and was able to bring her home!

Thanks to Judy’s neighbours, we had set up in Judy’s yard, only to get a trap full of momma skunk 🦨 and babies in tow! Time for some plan B!

Her neighbours gladly obliged, and we are very grateful!!!

In all cases, we always need property owners involved, in order to secure missing pets, so thanks to all those people , we can’t do it without you!

Good work Judy!

Thanks to all of you that share missing pet posts, together, we get them home!!!

Last week, a woman named Jessica, who I had helped with her own missing cat, contacted me about her Mom’s missing kitty.

Jessica stayed totally involved, and between the two of us, we kept the trap baited and scented, even after a doppelgänger showed up, and was trapped.

When I have owners of missing pets on my cameras, it’s so YOU can see when a cat/dog is secured, and act accordingly.

Jessica wanted to help her Mom….and watched for the notifications!!!

I am happy to say, her boy that escaped last week, is now back in the house!!

“Stash” is secured, and is now under house arrest, permanently!!!

He isn’t talking, but his family is thrilled to have him back in the house!

Sunday morning terrific news!!!
She was a couple of blocks from home, where a woman was taking care of her!!!

Her family is overjoyed!

Remember this sweet girl, that busted out her Mom’s window?

Well, it’s finally over!

Thanks everyone that takes the time to share missing animal posts.

Thanks to Judy’s neighbours, that allowed traps and cameras on their properties!

We originally set up at Judy’s, but a skunk family put a damper on that, so we left them alone, to do their skunk family things!

Good job Judy!

It’s your GOOD NEWS FRIDAY!!!!

It’s over folks, after 6 days, Duke is secured!!!

This was a very complex case, due to the copious amount of cats and raccoons constantly entering traps and eating everything, as you can see below.

Approximately 12 midnight, Duke entered my 72” Tomahawk trap, and was finally secured!!!
Picture number 5 is Duke in my trap.

I want to thank all the residents of Kettle Point, that called in sightings and stopped chasing Duke, because of that ( it’s human nature) chasing etc., there was zero chance that Duke would be hand secured, or even go to people.
It is the worse thing you can do to a frightened dog!

I want to thank Jill Jackson that contacted me in the 1st place, when they brought Duke home, as a Father’s Day gift for Gerald Jackson, and the accident occurred. And her sister, Trudy Maness!
Mrs Jackson tripped, going up the stairs with Duke, who quickly “took off”.

I want to thank Justin, for helping me move a trap quickly (Jill’s son), and a future family member, Hunter Irwin, that “climbed on board” to help.
To Marianne and Lucas, that helped me move a trap quickly.
With so much other animal interference, I decided to move both traps to one site, and put Hunter on my cameras as well, and this young man was a god send.

Due to work constraints, of family members, it was hard keeping traps from being closed, and food eaten and I was driving to Kettle Point, 4 times a day, so we could try and ward off every other hungry critter, if it was taped, it would give you all a laugh!
Thanks to Judy Mahoney, that helped me yesterday, clean out my 48, and set it all back up after an irate raccoon left it in shambles.

So, I had to show you a previous pic of Duke enjoying chicken, when the trap was zip tied open, I knew he would be back, and he came a few times, but, last night was the end of his adventures!
ALL NEW RESCUED DOGS should be kept on TWO leashes AT ALL TIMES until they are totally bonded to you!

My heartfelt thanks also to Gerald's wife, Faye, for shooing away cats, and raccoons, and helping me load my traps this morning!
She is eagerly awaiting walks with their new 4 legged son 😍

LET’S ALL WELCOME HOME “DUKE”🐶🐶♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰

Folks, we have a wee “rescue” chihuahua running scared in town, I need EVERYONE to to please share and be on their toes!!
It is very unlikely that this little one will approach anyone, is in FULL BLOWN FLIGHT MODE!



A newly adopted dog is NOT BONDED TO YOU, and will run the 1st chance it gets!!!

Any new rescue dog should be kept on TWO LEASHES AT ALL TIMES!!!
This can be a harness with one leash, as well as another leash attached to a collar.

‼️‼️‼️call 226-349-4465‼️‼️‼️

LAST SEEN, running west on London Road, towards the hospital.

On Wednesday, June 11th, east of Exeter, a boxer mix, by the name of “Tucker”, was frightened away by the sound of a gun (s***t shooting) going off.
Tucker ran, and didn’t look back.
Tucker was now in “flight mode”.

Becky Kyle, a friend, tagged me on the post, and reached out to me to ask if I could help.

There were a couple of sightings, and then Tucker circled back.

I was talking to a family member by the name of Sandra McCann, , and instructed her on how to try and lure Tucker back to her, since “Dad” was at work.
As you know, I usually work with Marianne Ducharme for Huron county cases, but she was at work as well.

Sandra had a blanket, a book ( this can always take a while), some good smelly chicken, a squeaky toy, and a line of bbq sauce around her, to make her smell better then a burger on the bbq!

Well, Tucker watched from a distance, he didn’t run away, when the worse possible thing happened!!!

The garbage truck came by, the kind that lifts the big containers, slammed them down, which made the lids come down with a bang, and you guessed it….Tucker “ran for the hills”.

Now, remember, this is the second traumatic episode, on the same farm, and that tells me, I have to act fast, I already had a trap out, but I knew I had to get it off that farm.

I drove back this morning, and walked out with Sandra, I wanted to see the ditch where she lost sight of him when he ran, and noticed there was a “tractor lane” over the ditch…I knew where Tucker went!
With help from Sandra, and “Springer”, a gentleman that lived on the farm, we got my 72 out of the corn field, back in the van, and headed to the farm about a 3rd of a km away, Chris, thank you so very much for allowing my trap and camera.

I always know where I want to set my traps, sometimes you know, sometimes it’s a feeling. Well, sure enough, at 520 tonight, Tucker showed up❤️❤️❤️

He circled the trap, ate the chicken in the grass, the area was heavily scented, and then left, but... not long afterwards, my phone started to ping again...Tucker wanted that chicken!

Let’s all welcome home “Tucker”, after 4 days, he is safe and secured!!!

Photo number two, shows you Tucker, pulling out “Grandma’s” pillow case, out of my trap🤣🤣🐶🐶🐶

Everyone, please share and watch for this handsome fellow, in the Treewood Crescent area, closest to Finch, he slipped out the other day, and a little one at home is missing her kitty very much!
