Bringing Swayze Home

10/09/2021

Saturday with Swayze! Just enjoying some down time with a delicious cookie. 🍪

Swayze is settling in well. He is adjusting to our routine and socializing well with other doggos. Socializing with people is going to take a while but he has bonded with a couple good friends. ❤️ learning to love life! ☀️

Got a chance to take down most of our flyers today! If you happen to see any around town, would you help me out and take them down? 💪 y’all rock!

Jae is sharing Swayze's progress with us and of course we want to update all of his fans as well 🥰 He is doing well. Jae tells us he seems a lot more confident since being home. He got a good bath and he got to go for walks again. He is loving being back home with Jae 🥰

Please continue to call in ANY sightings. We have someone who has managed to run Swayze off and we have to come up with a new game plan. In order to do this we need to figure out where he is hanging now. It is truly sad that someone would prevent a dog getting home to his owner, but that is what has happened. Thank you to those who continue to support Jae and Swayze ❤

This past week has been a rollercoaster for Jae and the team. We caught someone stealing items from the missy trap. The same man started coming to the trap with his dogs at the same time Swayze normally visited. Therefore we haven't had him at the trap in a few days. We had police handle it. Now we are working hard to get Swayze coming back on a routine. Please don't post sightings if possible, call Jae. And please remember if you see him, note the time, location, direction of travel, and his behavior and do not follow/approach/chase him. Thank you all for your continued support 🥰

We haven't done an update in a bit. We promise to tell everyone Swayze's adventure stories and include all the videos and photos of his adventures once we have him safe. We are so close so please send all the positivity our way.

We finally have sightings again. He is back where we need him to be. With that said, we had a very bad morning. 🥺 Someone allowed their dog to eat the food and then lied when confronted about it. The same person allowed her off leash dog to chase Swayze across the field. It took him 2 weeks to return to the area and then something like this happening could set us back again. Please please spread the word about Swayze and what not to do if someone comes across his path. Please continue to call in sightings ❤

Please continue to call in sightings. It appears Swayze may have moved areas again.

I understand people are intrigued by this contraption if they've never seen one, but we have signs posted everywhere and even on the trap since the last incident. Yet we still have folks approaching the missy. If you have questions, please call and ask. I will tell you anything you want to know about them. But PLEASE do not go up to the trap. If Swayze is close and watching, you could cost us an opportunity.

Please do not interfere with traps. We caught someone messing with the missy trap this morning 😔 we have neon signs all over the area with phone numbers attached if there are any questions. Please feel free to reach out to us versus messing with our equipment. Thank you.

This article explains why we ask folks not to call to, approach, or follow Swayze if you see him. Lost dogs in survival mode can sense being "hunted" and it makes them uncomfortable to the point that they leave an area they once felt safe and secluded in.

Why wouldn’t your lost dog come to you? "We hear this question so often: Why wouldn’t your dog come to you if it’s lost? This is so often said with disbelief, and the owners of the lost dog will often feel/hear a sense of disdain in the question from the askers. It often comes off as – “My...
