With the permission of an amazing local farmer and several good sightings- we are happy to report that Allie was trapped safe 1am this morning- after seven nights of being on her own after slipping her leash. Her mom and dad were over the moon thrilled to get the call- that we had her.

On Monday we were contacted about a pup that was at Balsam park in Greeley. He still had a leash attached- but AC or Good Samaritans could not get close.

So at 615pm we deployed our big box trap - loaded with Neil’s secret bait- and waited. At 645 he was caught. We brought him home, bathed him, fed him and let him decompress. Posted on all the sights but no owner has come forward 😞. He is a super sweet and super smart pup! He will be going to the Larimer Humane Society today.

Just wanted to drop in and say HI to everyone! We have been busy-with animals, with family, with life. I am going to be spending some time trying to update everyone.

😍 Safe and Sound is such a blessing!

After 51 days of being lost, RayRay has been found! We can’t thank the Greeley community enough for spreading the word, getting his picture out there. Our amazing volunteers that never gave up on him, there was always hope he would come home.
We also want to give a special thanks to Roxanne, a neighbor who stepped in and gave so much of her time. Katie, Neil and Tania for getting things organized and donating their time and skills to finally trap him safely. RayRay travelled over 8 miles east from his original location. He is finally safe! ❤️❤️❤️

This is for the pup in Fort Collins-but explains why this approach should be used with all dog who run from you when trying to catch them!

Please report sightings of the black and white dog.

Another Team RedneckRescue Animal Recovery Service happy beginning in the books! An amazing community member Mala Chandler Brady started seeing this pup in Fort Collins and posted to social media. Our team reached out, helped with fliers, and we found a place this pup (nicknamed Scruffy by the team) was hanging out and being fed.

Katie Lin Carmichael Scofield and Neil Scofield set the missy trap, but we later learned that about the same time, this pup move several miles away. Mala soon started getting lots of reported sightings in the new location, and on Saturday a heads up community member saw Scruffy near her home, recognized him from the posts, opened her fence, left a trail of food, and soon had him in her back yard!

Sarah McIntosh and I left yet another planned family gathering with Nancy Stout to help an animal in need - thanks Mom!! - and when we weren't able to hand catch him, Neil responded, and although Scruffy ate out of his hand, when the leash came out, Scruffy said, "Um, no." We decided to set our new Tomahawk XL dog trap, and despite already having eaten a ton of food, Scruffy was in the trap in a matter of minutes (the McDonald's hamburgers might have had something to do with that!). He seemed relieved to no longer be on the run and scavenging for food.

Scruffy was then on his way to a local shelter on a stray hold in case someone was looking for him. The shelter reported Scruffy is doing great and will soon be looking for his forever home! Our Fort Collins community is AMAZING!! Go Team Redneck!!

Where do I even begin…. Our little 10 lb Italian greyhound Ella jumped our fence on Monday afternoon (8/30). She was seen a couple hours later and then not again for 2 days. In that time Katie had reached out to me and offered help to find and trap Ella. She is small, fast and super skittish so I was incredibly worried. Katie kept talking me off the ledge and provided me with so much support. I was a wreck. Finally on Thursday (9/2) we had multiple sightings and we had an idea where she was. But how to catch her after she had already covered a 20 mile radius that day alone, (Confirmed sightings) that was the hard part. Katie and Neil came out and were in the area she was last spotted. We got one more call and that was that. They headed her off and nabbed her. When I came up behind them in my truck Neil was walking out from the backyard with our little girl cuddled in his arms. I have never cried so hard in my life. These two know their stuff, and I could not be more thankful. Their experience shows in every move they make. Every single piece of advice they gave made sense. I will be forever grateful for their service in finding and capturing our girl. I recommend these two a million times over. You brought our family back together with your passion, dedication, compassion and perseverance. We appreciate it so much!

So happy for Spanky and his family! After escaping from his sitters house August 2 and roaming between Severance and Windsor area until Friday August 13, when he was finally caught. Awesome teamwork with the help of Andrea and Kim and to an amazing neighborhood who kept us updated with sightings and getting the trap in place. It was Spankys mom who listened to everything we told her to do/not to do-and some great military tracing-she was able to get her hands on him and get him safely in their car!
