Critical capacity alert. Code red dog!!

There HAS to be someone out there willing to foster, adopt, or tag for rescue our sweet Chowder.

He has been with us over a month. He is just a pup around a year old. He is insanely sweet and doesn’t deserve to still be at animal control. He is by far our longest resident, and we don’t understand why. We need to find him a place since we are so full of

Please share and help if you can!!

PLEASE SHARE! Slinky is missing!!!

🚨SLINKY IS SAFE!🚨
We got him! Thanks to the wonderful Found A Hound Rescue and our volunteer, Jen M, Slinky was trapped last night!!

Slinky will receive a medical evaluation from our team and some extra spoiling and pampering before he's able to leave our building again. Please watch our page for updates.

We no doubt had an exceptional crew trapping, tracking and monitoring Slinky this week, but they wouldn't have been able to do that without all of YOU sharing our posts and reporting sightings. THANK YOU!

Please consider donating to Found a Hound so they can continue the great work that they do, paypal.me/foundahoundrescue. We have our boy back because of them, and we simply cannot thank them enough for it. 💙🧡💚

Slinky has found his feeding station! 🥳 Slinky also found the trap but was too fearful to go all the way in. Found a Hound will attempt using a different trap with him.

Continue crossing your fingers and paws and sending good vibes Slinky and Found a Hound’s way. We’re feeling so much better about this update! 🤞🏻🙌🏻

Slinky stayed close to Glen Carbon Rd yesterday and overnight. Many reports were made of seeing him. THANK YOU for this! A feeding station was set-up last night, and we're hopeful that Slinky finds and visits it so we can get closer to trapping him.

⚠️Please continue sending sightings to 781-435-7911. Do not chase.

Slinky was reported as being seen late last night (4/23) in the Dunwoody Dr neighborhood off of Glen Carbon Rd. This means he had crossed 159 and very well might still be in the Dunwoody Dr area.

⚠️Please continue sending sightings to 781-435-7911. Do not chase.

4/23 SLINKY UPDATE:

Our last known sighting of Slinky was last night (4/22) at 10 PM around Village Circle Drive in Glen Carbon. We are very hopeful 🤞 that he has remained in this area but still feel it's very likely he could be anywhere, especially in the square shown.
⚠️Please continue sending sightings to 781-435-7911. Do not chase.

🚨‼️LOST DOG‼️🚨

We need your help! Slinky escaped a volunteer while out on a dogventure.

He was last seen around 1 pm at the Madison County Transit Nickel Plate Trail- between I 270 and Meridian road!

Slinky is wearing a red collar. He has very short legs and is similar in shape to a basset hound.

Please report sightings to 781-435-7911. DO NOT CHASE!

Slinky 🪗

If you've stopped by our Edwardsville facility in the last week, chances are you've interacted with this long body, short legged ham! He's currently our best desk staff member!

Slinky is everyone's best friend, takes cuddling so serious that he considers it a job, and is a selfie 📸 taking king.

Help 1 year old, 30 lbs. Slinky find his people. Meet him at our Edwardsville location today between 11:30 and 5. Questions can be directed to [email protected].
