‼️BAILEY in Palmer Township has been TRAPPED and is HOME SAFE‼️
On Sunday, 3/19/23, our friend Ted Bachman from Lehigh Valley Pet Search, messaged us and asked if we could take on trapping Bailey who went missing on 3/16/23. She had been sighted within a 3 block radius. She was on the same ring camera twice in the same day, sighted and ran from Kim (Bailey’s owner) and actually came upon Ted while he was in the area flying his drone for Bailey but she ran from him too. It was apparent Bailey needed to be trapped.
We agreed to go out and get Bailey to safety. We met Kim out where Bailey was staying. She took us around showing us where the most recent sightings were. After analying all of the information, we set 3 feeding stations and camera’s at very specific places. Luckily, Bailey showed up at one of the feeding stations last night so this morning we took out the trap. As we were walking away after setting up, we saw Bailey and she was headed to the trap area. She was a little hesitant of the trap but she wanted the food so she worked up the courage and went in. After 4 days, Bailey was finally safe and heading home!
Thank you to Ted Bachman, Kim and Reynaldo (Bailey’s owners) for reaching out to us and having the confidence in us to bring Bailey home. Thank you to Julia on Chain Dam Rd, Tim on Overlook Circle and Scott with Palmer Township for allowing us to set up feeding stations, camera’s and a trap on your properties. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without such kindhearted people as yourselves! Finally, thank you Bailey for being brave and going in the trap!!
Welcome Home, Bailey!! 💖💖
‼️OLIVER from Upper Nazareth Township has been TRAPPED and is HOME SAFE‼️
On 9/2/22, Oliver went missing from his home, when he took off after the leash was removed and the door was not fully shut. He was seen right after escape in the neighborhood, going behind a house with open access to a cornfield behind. Marc and Shari, Oliver’s owners, reached out to us for help on 9/3/22 for help however, we were on vacation until 9/6/22. We reached out Marc just as soon as we got back and found out that Oliver was still missing and with no further sightings. We got to work collecting all pertinent information on Oliver and everything that was done to find him to this point. We redesigned the flyer, had them post Oliver to social media pages/web pages/Apps for lost pet’s. They notified all of the appropriate places and the local and surrounding police department’s. We got out there hanging poster’s and also set a feeding station and camera at the house should Oliver return. We called upon our friend’s, Ted and Alex, to see if they could come out and fly the drone to search the cornfield’s since there had been no sighting’s since the day of escape and the impossibility of searching a cornfield when the corn is taller than we are. Unfortunately, Oliver was not seen by the drone that night. Then amazing, that night, a call came that he was spotted in the neighborhood on the street that border’s the cornfield, in the same area he was last seen the day of escape. Next thing you know, Oliver shows up at home, on camera, going to the front door, going right past our feeding station and ran away and never came back. We came to find out that the person who spotted him was following him in their car and calling for him to come to them. So now we waited again hoping he would show up back at home and/or another sighting would come in. Then on 9/11/22, a real time sighting came in on the same street as before. He was seen running along a back fence line going int
‼️WINSTON from Roseto has been TRAPPED and is HOME SAFE‼️
On 6/28/22, Winston escaped the house when the door opened and he darted right past his owner’s leg’s. Winston had only been in his new home for 2 day’s and was totally unfamiliar with the area. On 6/30/22, he was spotted by Alyssa who said that 1:05am she was “driving and literally saw a coyote chasing him; I jumped out of my vehicle and chased the coyote away. The little dog wouldn’t come to me though, obviously scared out of his mind.” He was then sighted around Weona Park and the sewage treatment plant. Then the first confirmed sighting by a security camera picture came in from a homeowner in the Dotta Development. Unfortunately, then the looooong July 4th holiday weekend with all of its fireworks came and sightings of Winston dried up. Finally, on Wednesday (7/6/22), a sighting came in that Winston was sighted by Mike’s Produce in Plainfield Township. That’s 7 miles from home!!!!! Then on Friday (7/8/22), we received a message from Kory that Winston was on his security camera’s at 3am that morning on his back deck and front porch. We made arrangements with Kory and went out and set a feeding station and camera’s. Winston showed back up that night around 9:45pm and found the feeding station. He made himself at home and hung out there practically all night long. Now that he found food, we brought in the trap yesterday evening. Winston did not disappoint. He showed up around 8:10pm, meandered around the yard and found the trap. He was hesitant of the trap having been trapped before. But after about 30 minutes, his hunger won out and he went into the trap. After 11 day’s, Winston was finally safe!!!!
Thank you to all who called in sighting’s and supplied security camera pictures.
Thank you to Alyssa for chasing that coyote away and going back out with your Dad to try to make sure Winston was ok.
Thank you to Kory and Meghan for allowing us to set up on your property which
‼️TUXEDO in Macungie has been TRAPPED and is HOME SAFE‼️
On 6/18/22, Tuxedo escaped the petsitter’s home in Macungie. Tuxedo, being from Allentown, was completely unfamiliar with the area he was now missing in. He was spotted a few time’s near the point of escape but did not his “safe spot” and moved on. His owner’s saw him on Sunday, 6/19/22, but since he was already in survival mode he ran from them. So Joyann, Tuxedo’s owner, contacted us on Wednesday for help capturing him. On Thursday, Joyann received a call from Gabriella, on Periwinkle Dr, stating that she had seen the poster and that she has been seeing Tuxedo in her yard for the past couple of day’s. Joyann also received a call from Amy on Periwinkle Dr, stating that Tuxedo was in her yard overnight and ate the cat food that she leaves out. Amy also supplied Joyann with security camera picture’s which allowed Joyann to positively verify that this was indeed Tuxedo. Based on all of this information, we knew that Tuxedo had found his “safe spot”, so we got out there first thing Friday morning and set a trap and camera’s. Finally, last night at around 8:25pm, Tuxedo showed up, found the trap and without hesitation, went in and was safe!!!
Thank you to Gabriella for making the connection that the lost dog on the poster was the dog you were seeing in your yard and making the call. Thank you to Alex, Gabriella’s Dad, for being so awesome and allowing us to set up our equipment on your property. Thank you to Amy for calling and supplying the picture’s of Tuxedo in your yard. Thank you to Joyann and her family for trusting in us to bring Tuxedo home to you. And finally, thank you to Tuxedo for being such a good boy and going into the trap.
Welcome Home, Tuxedo!!!! 💙🐾💙🐾

‼️ANNABELLE in Bethlehem has been TRAPPED and is HOME SAFE‼️
On 4/25/22, Annabelle, an indoor only kitty, escaped her apartment and was mistakenly put outside when she was thought to be one of the community cat’s. After repeated searching and having placed 4 traps with scent items, Annabelle was not found. So on 4/29/22, Heather contacted us for help locating and capturing Annabelle. We immediately made a flyer, started collecting information on Annabelle, providing education materials and headed out to assess the area and set camera’s. We all got to work hanging poster’s, posting on social media and notifying shelter’s, police and the microchip company. Some sightings came in but none proved to be Annabelle. Unfortunately, the property behind the apartments was extremely steep and with thick vegetation which made it dangerous and difficult to access on foot. Without any confirmed sightings and not showing up on camera, we asked our friend Ted Bachman to come out with his thermal camera and drone to assess this area. Ted came right out but was unable to fly his drone because the area was just inside restricted air space for the Allentown Airport. However, Ted was able to use his thermal camera to search the area from the bottom and top but no kitty was seen.
On 5/4/22, a black kitty showed up on camera smelling the trap but did not enter. It was determined to be Annabelle who finally reached her threshold and broke her cover 9 days after escape! We set the traps and waited for her to come back but she didn’t. So again with no sighting’s or Annabelle’s return, we asked Ted to come out again to assess the area behind the apartment complex. This time he did catch a cat on his thermal camera but there was no way to determine if it was Annabelle or one of the other 5 community cat’s. We kept on doing what we were doing, expanded our poster’s out a couple more blocks, continued to knock on door’s attempting to find feeder’s in the area,
Maximus went missing 25 days ago with his daughter, Karma. Although, Karma was reunited, Maximus was not seen again. Yesterday, a friend of a board member saw the pup on his camera. He reached out to us, and although this is not our area (it’s over an hour away) once we saw his picture, we had to help. We loaded our trap and went last night and set everything up. We tied it open until he showed up. Once we knew our trap was big enough, we had Scott set it.
Luckily, Scott (our friend) as well as Maximus’ owners were wonderful at doing everything needed to get him home safely. Thank you Scott for setting the trap, and feeding station this morning. Chris and Meylinda for trusting us and most of all, thank you Maximus for going in the trap! Welcome home sweet boy!
He is extremely thin and has a wound. He is heading to the vet now!
‼️OWNER’S FOUND‼️
After knocking on doors, we are happy to report that we were able to locate where this handsome guy lives and that he is home. Thank you all for all of the shares.
Do You Recognize This Pup?

‼️LOOSE Dog In BATH has been TRAPPED and is SAFE‼️
On February 23, 2022, Jamie messaged our page for help capturing a loose dog roaming their neighborhood for a few days. We went out there right away and started knocking on doors and talking with people in the neighborhood. Everyone told us that he was very friendly with all of the dogs around but he would run off whenever anyone called to him and tried to get him. In talking to everyone, we believe that he actually showed up in this area just before Valentines Day. While we were out there, we saw him multiple times and was able to observe his travel area. Based on that, input from the neighborhood and doorbell camera sightings, we set 2 feeding stations and cameras. A couple hours later he found one of the feeding stations. We quickly removed the other feeding station and went to pick up a trap. We set the trap and waited. Unfortunately, he did not show up in time to be taken to the shelter so we tied the trap open. He showed up at 11:40pm and was nervous and only went in as far as the trip plate and left. He came back again at 5:25 this morning and was more comfortable and went all the way in this time. We got out there at 6am, set the trap and waited. Finally at 1:40 this afternoon, after visiting with the dog across the street, he made his way to the trap and went right in. We want to thank Jamie for messaging us to get this guy help, Connie and Makayla for keeping us updated on all of their security camera sightings and allowing us to set a camera and feeding station on their property, Lauren for coming to help us get the trap with dog inside into our vehicle, to everyone who called with sightings on your doorbell cameras and to Ron for letting us set a camera, feeding station and eventually the trap on your property. A big thank you to Peaceable Kingdom for taking this guy in, you guy’s soooo rock!!!!
Because every dog deserves a name, we have decided to call him Tucker. Welcome to the first day of
‼️MUSH in Forks Township has been TRAPPED and is HOME SAFE‼️
On January 25, Mush ran out of the house. The owners looked everywhere for her, but nothing. Flyers went up and still no calls. Finally, last night (February 2), she showed up on camera inside her garage. We called the owners and told them to open the garage door. She ran when they did. We came over right away and set the trap. She didn’t show up again. This morning, the owner saw her under a shed, so we moved the trap over there for the day and she came out and went right in. Thank you to everyone who helped in her capture. Thank you Mush for going in the trap. Welcome home Gorgeous girl!

‼️CHARLIE in Northampton is HOME SAFE‼️
On Monday, 11/15/21, Charlie took off with leash attached while getting in the car to go to the Vet to get neutered. Kyle, Adrianna and their dog Morty along with volunteers from Freedom First Rescue went out on foot searching for Charlie due to that he still had his leash attached. They saw Charlie resting in a tree line but he got spooked and took off into some heavy brush and they were unable to see what direction he went. So Kyle, Adrianna and Morty went home and started cooking on the grill and put his crate and his blankets outside. Carlee, President of Freedom First Rescue and who happens to be a friend of a friend, reached out to us for help locating and capturing Charlie. We quickly made a flyer and went out and set 2 feeding stations and cameras, one at the house and another at the farm where he was seen running into the brush. We were hoping that Charlie would find his way home overnight but he did not. Flyers got up quickly and Kyle received a call that Charlie was spotted on an outside security camera running full speed through their property going away from home. So flyers were expanded further out in that direction. Then yesterday, Kyle got a call that Charlie was in the backyards of the houses right across the street from their house. Charlie was even sighted carrying his own leash!! 😂. They saw Charlie go into some brush at the farm next to the houses. He came back!!!!! So, we asked Kyle to take Morty outside in the front yard and play with him in hopes that Charlie will hear/see this to entice him home. Kyle also baited with liquid smoke again from his front yard to his back door. We waited and finally, there was Charlie on camera on the back porch. He went into his crate and settled down. We quickly called Kyle, went live on the camera so we could watch real time and coached him on what to do. Kyle stayed very calm and quietly opened the back door and went and sat on the couch. Charlie came out
‼️IVY in Bangor has been TRAPPED and is HOME SAFE‼️
On 9/28/21, Ivy escaped the house when one of her favorite people went on a trip. The family put food out and borrowed a trail camera from Natalie at Nat’s Cats, but were not able to catch Ivy on camera and were thinking that she was lost to them forever. Then one day a family member just happened to see Ivy in the yard. They knew now that she was still alive and was staying on their very large property. Jeannine reached out to us on 11/12/21 for help in capturing Ivy. The next day we went out and set up a trap and camera. She came that night but did not go into the trap. So the next day we brought out the drop trap in hopes that she would be more accepting of that. She showed up and did go into it but was very nervous and did not eat. She returned the next night, was less nervous and ate very little. We decided to change out the food and found out she loves chicken and prefers that over tunafish. She came back 3 times that night for the chicken. Soooo……last evening we were ready for her and she did not disappoint. Ivy showed up, went under, we pulled the rope, drop trap came down and she was TRAPPED!!! Finally safe and in the house after 49 days!!! Thank you to Jeannine for reaching out and trusting us to bring Ivy home. WELCOME HOME, IVY!!!!!💕🐾💕🐾
