ROAMING RAPIDS RD, TWEED

This Mom and Pup have been wandering the Rapids Rd area from at least the 18th of Dec. From their condition we think they have been out longer though.

We are assisting two amazing ladies in the area to try and condition them and get them small frequent meals.

If you have not spoken to a QWLP Volunteer please do not feed them. They are very thin, too much food too fast could devastate their digestive system causing great discomfort and even death.

If you want to assist in this process please message us and we will see what we can do.

For now, SEND SIGHTINGS TO OUR PAGE VIA THE MESSAGE BUTTON BELOW (Where, as soecific as possible, when and what direction they were heading)

DO NOT POST SIGHTINGS ONLINE.

A disruption to the peace and quiet (a bunch of people trying to chase them and catch them) will move them from their safety zone and helping hands.

❤️❤️NEO’S OWNERS’ HAVE BEEN FOUND

Neo’s adventure started at Potters Creek Moira St entrance yesterday (15 Dec) morning. She made her way to Frankford where she used to be walked on the trails there.

HUGE THANK YOU to Jeff for securing this sweet soul and assisting in looking for the owner. The owner contacted him and he contacted us. A volunteer went to their house to verify information to make sure they were in fact Neo’s owner. (They will be asked to update her microchip information)

❤️❤️”PENELOPE” IS SAFE AND WARM❤️❤️

A german shepherd was seen hanging out at the Crahame Hill Cemetery in Morganston and brought to our attention this week by our Campbellford volunteer

The following day NHS Animal Control was contacted by a local and responded to the area. Our lead volunteer spoke with Chelsea and a plan was made for her to bring her trap to the area as our trap was still in Tamworth due to bad weather.

A local had been feeding her from the beginning
so this allowed her to remain in the area. This is also a sure sign the dog was dumped there as it would not leave the church steps for any length of time.

She had no interest in the trap whatsoever so one of our volunteers had a special dog that could assist in luring Penelope closer to our volunteer. So they went out this afternoon.

With patience, a calm demeanour, some good treats and an extremely calm dog, Bear, they were able to move closer and closer to the point where she was hand feeding her.

Within minutes of hand feeding the slip lead was around her neck and she was secure. The poor girl was so terrified she pooped herself.

She did not want to walk so she was carried to the transport vehicle amd peed as she was lifted. 😢

At no time was there a growl, a nip or an attempt to escape. She was petrified into freeze mode.

Thank you so much to the locals that assisted in keeping her in the area and for being available for a trap watch if required. Thank you to NHS Animal Control for working in tandem with us.
Thank you to Bear’s owner for allowing him to be used as a lure dog !! (He was amazing). Our volunteers who were available at short notice to assist as backup. Lastly and mostly to our volunteer for taking the time in freezing windy weather to save a beautiful soul. 💞💞💞

In the pictures below you will see the sequence of Bear and the volunteer getting close to Penelope. At no time is the volunteer facing Penelope until she is caught amd even then still sideways. These are part of the calming signals we harp on everyone to get to know.

On to a better life Penelope. (This name was given to her by our team as we do not know her name)

LOST DEC 11/24 TRENTON

LOST DOG SYNDROME or FLIGHT MODE

For those of you that think when a dog is lost they will come to their owner here is an example of a dog that can clearly see their owner. Until it gets close enough to smell them does it recognize the owner, even then it takes a few
more seconds to fully snap out of it.

Granted, this dog was lost for 5 months but this can actually happen quickly to a dog if the circumstances are right. Spooked by fireworks, car accidents and even a dog that has anxiety and has just wandered off.

So when we send an owner the calming signals video and ask the owner not to call out to their dog there IS a reason.

❤️❤️HAPPY ENDING BEFORE IT EVEN STARTED❤️❤️

LOST IN TAMWORTH DEC 7/24
TRAPPED DEC 8/24

We were contacted this morning about a 5 mth old rescue that got away due to a slip and fall by the owner in Tamworth. This little fellow got away yesterday, Dec 7, and the owner spent most of the night in the woods sitting quietly with treats wrapped in sleeping bags. He was near by but wouldn’t come close. He was seen on their property at 7:30 am on Dec 8th.

The owner reached out this morning for some help. We loaded up our trap and some cameras and headed to Tamworth.

There was a lot of difficulty getting the cell trail cameras to work as the signal was so weak but the trap was close enough to the house that it could be watched from a window.

A scent trail was laid and freshly barbecued steak and bacon were put in the trap.
We left the owners in charge of trap watch with specific instructions.

No pictures came through the app but we got a text “He’s around the trap!” As the whole team is holding their collective breathes there still were no pictures coming through the app. THEN bingo, one beautiful picture of him in the trap. (Still the only picture that came through was the one of him in the trap!)

The owners rushed out and carried trap and all into the house. He was SAFE AND WARM.

Thank you to the volunteers’ quick response to gather equipment and get to Tamworth. Thank you to the owners for following instructions (and now becoming a volunteer!)

❤️❤️❤️WONDERFUL NEWS❤️❤️❤️

Somehow, the dog we were looking for in Trent Hills made its way to Peterborough. He was secure last night by a wonderful woman who was conditioning him with food. He showed up at her house where he ventured part way in then left. The next time he tried that, the same evening, someone was hiding behind the door to shut it behind him to secure him in the house.

I was in contact with Ellie Wilson, who had been advising on tha case, from Peterborough County and Area Lost and Found Pets page. We compared video and pictures, also with the lady that had been feeding him and it is conclusive that it is him.

Peterborough Humane Society picked him up last night.

We will never know why he left or how he made it that far but he is safe now thanks to a few angels that walk among us.

GIVING TUESDAY a movement that pursues Radical Generosity, "the concept that the suffering of others should be as intolerable to us as our own suffering"
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
EDIT TO ADD THAT A VOLUNTEER HAS OFFERED TO MATCH THE FIRST $100.00
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As you have seen over the last year and beyond, our range has expanded to help as many lost, stray or dumped dogs as we can.
We have also increased the size of our team as like minded people are coming together to help.
With this expansion, in area and team size, comes more expenditures. We need more equipment for these new volunteers and we need some more equipment to be available to the areas further away from our core area.

We do this free of charge, absolutely no cost to owners. Even when we print flyers/pictures or make and distribute posters, all of this comes out of our pockets. Consumables every year add up and to continue what we are doing we need the generosity of the great communities that we have been serving for almost 6 years.

Below are a small sample of the dogs that we have secured over the years.

If you are able to find a small token for donation every little bit helps.
