🚨HELP US BRING PAVG SASHA HOME SAFELY🚨

​We have received information that people are trying to catch the dog missing from the Peoria Area Veterinary Group of Dunlap. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.

​We know you think you're helping, but you are making it much harder for us to secure her while also putting her in greater danger. A scared dog will run from everyone, often into traffic or other hazards.

​If you see her, the best way to help is to:
-​DO NOT chase, call, or approach her.
-​Note the location, time, and direction she is heading.
-​Report the sighting immediately.

​Please message Eye in the Sky Thermal Drone Pet Rescue directly with any sightings. You can also report to PAVG, and they will get the information to us.

​If you would like a phone number to call or text, please comment on this post, and we will get it to you. Thank you for your cooperation!

✨A Tale of Teamwork & a Wary Weimaraner ✨ -Le Roy, IL

It all started with a call on Tuesday! A report of a possibly dumped Weimaraner wandering alone in Le Roy. A plan was quickly formed, and our dedicated rescuer, Joe, headed out, hoping for a quick and simple rescue.

​But this beautiful girl had other plans. She was smart, scared, and completely uninterested in the trap. Joe was quickly proved wrong and knew this would not be easy. Determined not to let her down, he prepared for the long haul. He camped out all night, repositioning the trap and trying every tempting treat he could think of as bait. Still, nothing worked.

​By Wednesday morning, it was time to call in reinforcements and technology. "Pilot Phil" arrived with a drone, giving us an eye in the sky to pinpoint her hiding spots. We watched her seek shelter under a tanker truck on city property, but she was too frightened to be approached.

Exhausted, after 24 hours, Joe tagged in rescuers Tami and Karry to take over. Tami began by using gentle, calming techniques, hoping to build trust and coax the dog out on her own. When that didn't work, Karry strategically placed her own trap near the dog's safe space under the truck. For a moment, it seemed like history would repeat itself. The Weimaraner appeared, cautiously sniffed Joe's original trap, and once again decided against it.

​Then, just as the sky opened up and rain began to fall, she moved toward Karry's trap. Without a moment's hesitation, she walked straight in. The sound of the trap door securing was a sound of pure relief.

​When Joe heard the news, he was in disbelief that Karry had succeeded so quickly, but overwhelmingly grateful that this marathon rescue was over and the dog was finally safe. It was a fantastic moment and a testament to Karry's perfect trap placement!

​This sweet girl, now safe from the elements, is resting comfortably during her stray hold with a wonderful Le Roy citizen, Kelly. A rescue like this is never a one-person job. Our deepest thanks go to Lidia for first reporting her and keeping an eye out! To the Le Roy Police Department for their invaluable help and understanding. The rescue team, Joe, Phil, Tami, and of course, the hero of the hour, Karry!
​
It truly takes a village, and we are so thankful for ours! 🛟🐶❤️

🚨 Update on Nellie – Mt. Zion/Airport/Country Club area 🚨

Nellie’s journey is one that truly shows the power of patience, teamwork, and the right recovery steps. She had just been adopted when the worst imaginable happened only 30 minutes after arriving at her new home, she slipped her collar and bolted. Scared, unfamiliar with the area, and coming from a difficult past, she disappeared into survival mode.

For two full days, Nellie stayed close, circling back to the same spot but never allowing anyone near. With our guidance and equipment from us here at Eye in the Sky which Joe provided to the location and included a humane live trap, a surveillance camera, as well as recovery advice partnered with the support of Help Find Meech's Friends, Nellie’s new owner had the tools needed and was able to take the lead. He dedicated himself to learning every step of the recovery process and put it into practice.

This morning, that patience paid off and just after the trap was placed in his yard at 7:40 AM, by 8:48 AM Nellie was safely inside. This recovery is the perfect reminder that terrified lost dogs don’t respond to chasing, calling, or whistling. They need calm, consistent, and proven recovery methods.

Thank you to everyone who shared, supported, and respected the process that gave this sweet girl her quick opportunity to be brought back home quickly & safely!

Welcome home, Nellie! 💕

🚨 UPDATE – Pekin, IL 🚨

She is SAFE! ❤️🐾

This morning our surveillance cameras confirmed what we’ve all been hoping for and that is that our girl in the pink harness is finally safe & secure! After days of her running dangerously close to traffic, we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing she is no longer at risk or putting others at risk.

A huge thank you to our Recovery Specialist and Co-Founder, Joe Gienow, for his quick action in setting up the feeding station, cameras, and trap that made this possible. And an equally big THANK YOU to Alicia and her husband Randy, who played an instrumental role in helping get her safe. Without their dedication and teamwork, this recovery would not have come together the way it did.

These recoveries take patience, specialized equipment, and round-the-clock monitoring. For everyone in the Pekin community who kept watch, shared her posts, and sent in sightings, THANK YOU! Every bit of your support helped bring her to safety.

We’ll now be working on next steps that will include checking for a microchip, monitoring her health, and trying to connect her back to an owner if one comes forward.

This is what teamwork and compassion look like in action! 🛟🐶❤️
