If your pup ever becomes lost, doing the attached things is imperative. Set up a food plot at the last know location, and if possible, place a trail cam on it. This provides the dog with a food source, and helps to anchor them to the area. Leave some scent articles (your dirty laundry and something with your pup’s scent) next to the food plot, as well as at the place your dog was lost from. Anytime there is a sighting, shift the food plot and scent articles to the area of the sighting. Also important is signs. Get signs up! So many people are simply not on social media. Keep your signs big, simple and bright. You are your dog’s number one advocate. Make flyers, and get them to neighbors and neighboring businesses. Notify mail carriers, meter readers, and local veterinary offices.

Stetson’s owners reached out to Canine Crusaders, on 11/22/24. Stetson is a 9 month old red heeler, and took off while off leash. Up to this point, he was pretty good about staying with his owners. Stetson routinely goes to work with his dad-Joey, and never strays. On this particular day, Stetson took off into the countryside, and wouldn’t return to his owner.

Stetson’s mom, was familiar with the Canine Crusaders, as she was their waitress at a recent gathering. Laura and Joey reached out, as they were desperate for help in getting Stetson home.

Prior to trap deployment, Stetson returned to the residence one time. By the time he was seen on camera, and family went to let him in, he was gone. Shortly after he went missing, his family located him, but he took off as soon as he seen them. We worked with the family in getting signs up, and traps deployed. Stetson was circling a 1-2 mile radius, around the home, and went a couple of days without sightings.

Michael hired Vantage Point, whom confirmed that Stetson was within close proximity to the home, as we believed. Stetson appeared to be very aware of the drone, and ran off-even after getting his family within view of him. Stetson was in survival mode, and seeing his family had no bearing on him. We called the drone off, and reorganized. Laura ran a scent trail from a farm across the road that he had been hanging out at, directly to the Missy trap on their family’s property. Stetson’s family’s dirty laundry was placed just outside of, and inside of, the Missy trap. Within hours, Stetson could be seen on camera, smelling his peoples’ laundry. You could see the change in his demeanor, and the excitement when he realized his people were nearby. He began running around the property, then excitedly up to the front door. We all sat in amazement, watching on the camera, as he bolted into the Missy trap.

After 4 days on the run, Stetson was finally safe, and back with his family! 💗🐾

12/14/24: Bella’s mom sought out the assistance of Canine Crusaders. She was provided with information on what to do, and what not to do. Michael Valerio went out and set up traps on 12/13/24, and no luck. Vantage Point went out the same evening, and could not locate Bella.

Today Shannon received a call from a neighbor, whom saw Bella go into a neighboring barn. Shannon got there right away, and Bella is now back home where she belongs.

Shannon got out and networked with neighbors, and this is exactly what got Bella back home!! It’s so important to get out into the community and advocate for your dog. Get signs up and flyers out!!

🚨UPDATE: Bella is home safe!

Staci Lynd had been keeping a close eye on missing pet pages, and after several days of terrible weather and no sightings, a post popped up of what appeared to be Mia. Except this pup’s ears seemed to look a little different, the dog was a bit smaller, AND this was over 20 miles away in Corry!! Michelle Wasmund was able to alert Mia’s family and send a screenshot; and they confirmed that it was her! They jumped in their car, and booked it to Corry Memorial Hospital. Upon their arrival, Mia was still there, curled up in the sunlight. Her Dad called her name, and she couldn’t run to him any faster!! Welcome home, Mia!! 💗🐾🤗

UPDATE: MIA IS SAFE!!! THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HELPED!!!

LOOSE DOG: CORRY HOSPITAL AREA

Canine Crusaders would like to offer their help in trapping this loose pup. They believe that this is Mia that is missing from Wattsburg. The owners of Mia also agree and are on their way now to look for her.
✅️What we need from you is reports of sightings. Please do not take any further action. Do not call to the pup or follow her. She has traveled over 20 miles in 4 days . She is skittish and in survival mode.
✅️And a food station set up to hopefully get her to stay in one spot.
✅️Please comment below or contact Canine Crusaders with any and all information.
