‼️ Here we go once again .., Damaging High wind warnings and torrential downpours coming our way…
Remember …. let’s keep them safe .. please remember to check that fences/gates are secure and locked … make sure collars have up to date tags and check with the chip company that all info is correct… if you must walk them please secure their leashes , collars , harnesses as the slightest sound or movement of just a plastic bag can spook them causing them to run .‼️

1.8 1PM
HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT

In the orange shaded area this is where we see the best potential for gusts 50-60mph+. If model guidance doesn't back off through the day, I expect this to be upgraded to a warning.

A watch = conditions are favorable and it's possible
A warning = It's going to happen

So stay tuned for wording and updates through the day. Any way you slice it tomorrow will get a little wild later in the day.

Please keep your babies safe .. something I can’t stress enough .. we all forget or don’t think that while we are out having a good time our babies are stressed out at home ., some even left outside .., and when they hear all of these unknown sounds they panic and either hide or run away .. then the great time you were having turns into a nightmare when they get out and become lost .. I’ve seen this way too often and I’ve been on searches when it happens .. sometimes we get lucky and the outcome is good other times unfortunately there are times when it is not .. 😥....
Make sure collars and tags are secure and up to date.. take them out to potty on a harness and leash before festivities begin , don’t leave them outside unattended .. and remember to secure and lock fences / gates /doors/ windows . If you are entertaining at home .. please give them a secure place to rest with radio or tv on to help keep them calm .
Please...... keep them safe .. they are a precious part of your families !!!

We have exciting news … Felicity who went missing in Bayville 2 weeks ago was safely captured this morning and reunited with her foster family !

We were called on 12/14 , to assist Louie’s Legacy Rescue after one of their foster dogs escaped their foster home ..

I placed a camera in the last known sighting but in 5 days we had no movement of her on camera .. I was going to pull the camera until another sighting came in but as luck would have …. Felicity showed up that morning , I consulted with Olivia and Julie of the Louie’s Legacy and placed my trap . Julia and myself met that evening .. we waited in the area but Felicity never came back .. Myself and Dianne met with Julia again, where we walked the trails to see where they led so that we could determine where to hang more flyers, and what areas we thought she may have hunkered down .. We then proceeded to set more cameras in the trails .. ., but once again no sightings of Felicity and only trapping a skunk …
With the help of the fosters , we cleared the area .. cleaned the trap ( because a dog will not enter after it has a skunk scent .. while doing this , low and behold , here comes Felicity back on camera ..
We quickly set a few more cameras .. made our scent trails , reset and rebaited the trap and left the area .
Felicity showed up this morning at 6:54 and was in the trap at 7:15 !

Thank you to the wonderful people of the community who helped spread the word , hang flyers , searched , and called with sightings.

Thank you to my partner, Dianne , for walking the trails and setting cameras with me .. and for your dedication to Sadie’s and helping the lost .

Thank you to Olivia and Julie from Louie’s legacy for trusting in us to help bring her home safely !!

Thank you to Felicity’s foster mom and dad Cathy and John for giving this girl a 2nd chance for a happy life full of love 💕

Welcome home felicity!! ♥️🐾♥️

Titus is home safe and sound after his 2 1/2 day adventure in Basto Village …

After being alerted by a friend , I quickly reached out and spoke to Curt , he explained that he had taken Titus out with him for a hike Wednesday morning when Curt was caught off guard and he took off while still attached to his leash .. Curt , his stepson and girlfriend , along with a few others tried to search the area but with little luck .. except for one sighting later Wednesday evening . Thursday they went back out again .. this time leaving some blankets in area he ran from . Curt and I went over everything I needed him to do today in preparation of us coming down to set cameras and feeding stations . Speaking again this morning , Curt had everything he needed and would be heading back to the village..
Well … I received a texted from Curt around 10:50 am that while out walking the trails getting prepared for this evening .. they found him .., he was seen by a friend who was helping .,, he ran away from them at first .. but Curt remembered what we went over and he said they slowed down and when he realized it was him he came running !

We couldn’t be happier for them!

Thank you to everyone who reached out with concerns, offered advice, and helped in searching for him !

Thank you Curt for trusting in us to help guide you along the way ..,♥️

Tonight Titus and his family are all catching up on much needed sleep !

Welcome home Titus ♥️🐾♥️

It’s been busy this week…

We were alerted to the situation of a dog who was wandering around a housing complex in Lakewood for about a week, in terrible condition .

I reached out to animal control , and together we worked to get the dog to safety
This morning we were able to trap this pup !

Currently at Ocean County Animal Facility in Jackson
No Microchip
Will be vet checked, and placed on a 7 day stray hold
If no owner comes forward he/she will be up for adoption . You can contact the shelter after the 7 day hold if interested in adopting ♥️🐾

Thank you to the kind residents in the community for trying to keep this baby safe ,leaving food out , and alerting us of sightings .
Thank you to Lakewood Animal Control
for your assistance. It’s all about teamwork!

Doing what we do because we care !!

We are thrilled to share that Cora , who went missing yesterday afternoon is home safe and sound with her family !

After going outside to do her business she decided she was going to play hide and seek with Grandpa Jeff , she hid so well that now the entire family was wondering where she was hiding and had spent hours trying to find her , with no luck ..

When Dianne and myself arrived we quickly gathered as much info as we could about Cora .. we started laying scent trails immediately in the area , which also included walking her sister Paige’s dog Luna , while quietly searching the area where she last ran .. which was thru the deer trails behind their home that lead to other developments . While we know most dogs will return to the spot they entered , some do not , so we had to ensure that every step was taken to make sure that it did .
According to Cora’s family she was extremely skittish and afraid of everything so we had to plan for a lure technique with her momma , as she had expressed concerns to us that she really felt Cora would be afraid of the trap .. and extremely afraid of new things in her environment .
Dale’s dad (Jeff )and mom(Lisa) started the grill for some yummy treats .. cameras and feeding stations were set and they would sit quietly and wait . Cora’s mom and I kept in touch as Cora had followed her nose to the yummy bbq smell her Grandpa had going in the yard, but she wasn’t brave enough to come … the good thing was we had eyes on her with our cameras and she was staying very close to the vicinity , even walked near the back deck at one point , but she was spooked and would run off .. until around 2:30 am when she decided she was hungry and came to the food .. I instructed Dale to open the sliding doors and softly talk to Cora , as this was her person , and who I believe she had been looking for … once she realized that was Dale she came right to her !

Another happy ending ❤️

Thank you to those who kept an eye out .. the little girl who alerted us she had seen her run across the trails , another neighbor and his daughter who had also seen her ..

Thank you always to my partner Dianne for the dedication to helping the lost .,

Lastly, to Cora’s family for trusting in us and in the process 🥰

Welcome home sweet Cora 🐾♥️🐾

We have another happy ending coming from Bordentown ..
Little Randy who went missing Monday , still attached to his leash , was found today and reunited with his mom Nicole .

It seems Randy wanted to play Chase with a deer and darted off into the woods ..,

Family , friends, and kind people of the community searched for hours with no luck .. My partner Dianne advised Nicole on steps to take and things to do .., until that first sighting would come on Tuesday from a local UPS driver …,

Cindy Fij a fellow tracker, trapper friend, who occasionally helps us , was also contacted by a friend of the family.., Cindy was able to get clearance for after hours in the park to set up her camera , cook up some food , and set a feeding station thanks to the assistance from Nikki of Burlington County ACO

Today would be the day … Dianne and Nicole headed out to search the areas that Dianne and Cindy had mapped out .., starting from the feeding station they followed trails leading to a resident’s home .,
After searching a few hours , Nicole asked Dianne if it was ok to whistle for Randy ( not something we typically recommend ) but in this situation it couldn’t hurt and it worked … Randy wasn’t far .. he responded with a distress bark ., which continued .. they followed the bark which led them running over a hill .. it was there he was found entangled around a bush where Nicole was able to free him !!!!

Thank you to everyone in the community who helped search for Randy and shared his post .

The UPS driver who called with a sighting

Nikki (ACO ) for getting clearance to enter the park after hours

Our friend Cindy Fij for setting camera and feeding station

My partner Dianne for helping Nicole search today and reuniting Randy with his mom .., and her continue dedication to the rescue .

This was an amazing collaboration by all involved !

Another happy ending ❤️

Welcome home Randy !! 🐾♥️🐾

When a dog is lost or separated from its home or owner, it can enter a state of heightened awareness and stress, only focusing on finding food, water, shelter, and safety.
