Erin/Van Etten/Baldwin, NY
Our heartfelt thanks go out to the hunters that spotted them 5 miles from home and called the family right away! Thank you to the entire community for keeping an eye out for these most precious family members!

SKITTISH - Wary of strangers!

These beloved family members escaped from their home last week (12/8) near the 2700 block of Wyncoop Creek near Thayer Rd. Their Dad is devastated and needs his pals back home ASAP! They will not come to strangers and are very timid so it is vital that no one calls out to them, whistles at, follows them on foot or in cars, and not make any forward movement towards them.

PUPDATE: (12/13) HOME SAFE!!!
After 15 days on the run in some pretty harsh weather and traveling many dangerous miles from one end of the City of Ithaca to the other, this sweet girl is safe and home. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the amazing Animal Control Officers of the Tompkins County SPCA and a very special community of tightly knit homeowners that worked hard to assist in the humane trapping of this precious soul. Well done everyone!!! Ithaca, NY

EXTREMELY SKITTISH! Please read entire post!

Please do not approach or engage with this terrified girl in any way. She needs to feel like a ghost which means everyone must ignore her. She is on the move and has been all over the area. There are plans in place to bring her to safety. Please do not search for this dog. If seen, do not follow on foot or in vehicles. Following a lost and frightened dog is similar to a predator stalking their prey and will cause them to run blindly into danger.

Please do not post recent sightings here. Instead, send us a private message and call Animal Control at the number listed if you have seen her. This is for her safety. Thank you!

Do not call out to, whistle at, stare at, or approach and engage with in any way. She will not come to you, instead she will run! We ask that you report sightings only to the Tompkins County Animal Control Officers by texting/calling 607-592-6773 right away.

If you have food out for her but haven't seen her coming to your food, please bring all food inside. If you are feeding her and she's coming to your food, please call/text the number listed. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

PUPDATE: (10/13) HOME!!!
Dryden/Freeville, NY

These two beloved family members saw their chance to make a break for it yesterday morning (10/11) but failed to file a flight plan with their Dad. They took off from the 800 block of Midline Rd between Ringwood and Yellow Barn Rds. Daisy and Tim are Border Collie/Lab mixes who were both wearing collars and Seresto collars and are very friendly. Daisy can be a little standoffish at times so it's best not to call out to them or chase them.
