Please donate if you can! Winston was Fraizer when he was a part of Tails To The Wind. Fraizer and his siblings were dumped in a field in wasco to die. We wound up rescuing three males and one female from the situation. This was our first rescue that opened up our relationship with rescuers in Wasco and Bakersfield. If it wasn’t for Fraizer and his siblings, we would not have saved so many other lives from that area. Right now, Fraizer a.k.a. Winston needs all the help he can get. We know that it is getting close to the holidays and finances can be tight but even a couple dollars can make a huge difference. Also, please keep Fray and his mom in your thoughts and prayers.

Lexi was one of our Grays Anatomy puppies born last March. She was recently returned due to a family emergency. Lexi is looking for her new forever home. She is 6 1/2 months old, working on potty training, incredibly playful, and has lots of energy. Lexi would love a home with another active dog, young kids to play with, or someone to take her on walks and hikes. If you are interested in Lexi please email us at [email protected].

Who remembers Zoe our bow legged beauty from almost 4 years ago? This is her all grown up! Her family sent us an update last week and we had to share it with all of you. Not only has she traveled cross country in the past but she is now doing scent work. We are so incredibly proud of this amazingly resilient girl ❤️ When we took Zoe in we knew she may not be an easy dog to find a home for because of her medical issues but with time and patience she found the most amazing family. We are so grateful to Zoe’s family for everything they do for her. We can’t wait for future updates!

The results are in…. One of our adopters DNA tested our Yorkie mix puppies. She adopted 2 puppies, one from Meredith’s litter, and one from Addisons litter. Look at their results; they are so similar. We had guess there might be some poodle in there because a few of the puppies were fluffier but we would have never guessed pom. No matter what they are they are adorable. We have been getting pup dates from most of the families Nd they are all thriving in their new homes.

Buffy is doing great with her foster/hospice mom. She gets around pretty well on her own, but if she plays hard, she does get tired and will then drag her back legs to Buffy now has a new set of wheels. She is not 100% comfortable in them, but we’re gonna start practicing. She doesn’t need them full-time but we’d like to get her used to them just in case she does eventually need them more often. Right now it’s only longer outings or if she were to get really tired.

Meredith is still patiently waiting for her forever home. She is slowly coming around to her foster mom but loves to be with other dogs. Meredith came to us from a breeding/hoarding case and had never truly had any human contact. She’s currently very happy living in a home and follows her foster mom around however is still unsure about being picked up and is not a snuggly cuddly dog. However, Meredith loves to play with other dogs. If you are looking for a dog for your dog she would be the most amazing companion. She does well with dogs, her size, smaller, and larger. In time, Meredith will most likely become more comfortable with humans as she has already made great progress in the time that she’s been with her foster, we just can’t guarantee what that timeframe may look like. If you were interested, she is a two year-old female Yorkie, fully vaccinated, microchip, and spayed. Meredith does require a home with another dog and no young children. Please email us at [email protected] for more info.

Here is Dog Days Search & Rescue’s side of Maggie’s rescue. We really can’t thank them enough.

We often get those dreaded calls..."My 10 lb dog escaped, and I live near open space." These make our heart drop as we know the areas are filled with predators. Experience also tells us little dogs can be amazing at staying safe!

A message came in on June 30th to one of our missing pets pages, newly adopted, 8 lb Maggie had just been adopted from Tails To The Wind Rescue and hadn't even made it into her new house. She wiggled and pulled right out of her harness and collar. Sadly, we see this often. Dogs give a false sense of security. They lay calm on your lap on the way home, and so you let your guard down when you arrive at home.

Maggie had no idea where she was and who she was with. She came from a hoarding case and had been in foster since March. Maggie took off down the street. She attempted to come back but got spooked and ran the other way.

We instructed them on what to do and was even told a neighbor had a trap and trapping experience. The area has lots of known predators, mountain lions, bobcats, and owls. We hoped for the best. Days went by, and no sightings came in. Our team was slammed with other cases and had told them to get lost posters up to generate sightings.

Fast forward to July 20th, and ( yes, 21 days after she escaped), the rescue got a message that a yorkie had been spotted running into the bushes! We couldn't believe it. Had people been seeing her? Had people been feeding her? Where had she been all this time?

Our team went right out but, unfortunately, couldn't locate her. We talked to the security guards, and the HOA team, and neighbors and found out why there had been no sightings, no one knew that little Maggie was missing. Unfortunately, posters are not allowed in the community so nothing had gone up 🤦‍♀️.

Ok, time to backtrack. We gave the guards and the HOA flyers, her owner was instructed to drop a flyer at all houses in the immediate area. We needed to get more sightings. Of course, people started to call and they had seen her!!

We narrowed down where we thought she could be and put out cameras. Hours later, our cameras went off. We held our breath. It was a fox! A beautiful fox who ate some of the chicken we left in front of the camera. At least he left some chicken because Maggie showed up on camera shortly after the fox left!! We couldn't believe it. 21 days in this area, and we confirmed she was alive!

We quickly ran back out and set up a trap, but she didn't come back. We would go out and bait the trap and the next few nights without even a glimpse of her.

Finally, on Monday night, Ms. Maggie walked right into our trap! But our excitement quickly turned to despair as we watched her eat an entire bowl of chicken and walk back out of the trap. Our trap malfunctioned! Our hearts broke. We didn't understand. The trap had been tested numerous times.

We went out again, switched traps, discovered a manufacturer defect, and rebaited the new trap. After hours of sitting, waiting for her to show up, and she not, we sadly drove home. We were into this rescue almost 35 hours in just 4 days! These kinds of rescues are exhausting, mentally & physically. We were not able to figure her pattern so we stayed steady and kept the trap and camera in position. Our team losing sleep every time a mouse or other critter stopped by the trap as the camera went off. We were not giving up.

Then, a miracle happened. Day 26, Maggie showed up on a second camera we had positioned nearby, and she was headed for the trap! It was 3 am. (the latest we had ever seen her on camera), and we were awakened by the Arlo camera notification.

Our hearts racing, eyes bleary, we get confirmation that something was in the trap. Upon further inspection, it was MAGGIE!! We were so happy! ❤️ 🐾 This survivor made it 26 days in an area where there are reports of pets being lost by predators all the time!

Maggie was brought back to our house, snuggled into a bed in a crate, and slept soundly all night. Her rescue came and got her, everyone was so happy to see her. They did take her to the vet and found some very large ticks! She lost just over 1.5 lbs!!

She is currently back with her foster and will be available for adoption after she decompresses. If interested, contact Tails To The Wind Rescue and ask for miracle Maggie.

Thank you to the community who called in sightings, offered assistance, and made donations. Great job to our team for all the sleepless nights and effort!

Maggie update! The vet said that she is in really good shape for as long as she was out in the woods. The hair loss on her legs is from laying on rough surfaces, irritation, and from chewing on herself. She had two ticks on her, one female, and one male. The female tick is pictured and the largest tick any of us have ever seen. In general she looks good other than some weight loss. However, we did a full blood panel and urinalysis just to make sure everything is okay. We will have to do more bloodwork in 2-4 weeks to check for tick borne illnesses because they take at least 30 days to show up in bloodwork. The bill today was just under $400 (sorry we didn’t grab the invoice). If you would like to make a donation towards her care it would be greatly appreciated.

We owe a huge thank you to for spending the last 7 days doing all they could do to find and trap Maggie. We got at call at 3:30 this morning that she had been caught and was safe. Maggie went missing on June 30th right after being adopted. Thats 26 days! Maggie some how managed to survive 26 days in an area filled with coyotes, owls, hawks, and a known mountain lion. Maggie needs some time to decompress, she is going to need to be groomed, and to see the vet as soon as possible. We will keep you updated but we wanted to let you know the Maggie is safe and back in rescue.

We have very big/exciting news coming later today. Stay tuned!

This is a courtesy post for please contact them for info on Boots. Boots is as unimpressed as we are that he STILL DOESNT HAVE A HOME‼️‼️‼️
Truly if someone could explain how this dude is nearing 2 years in rescue (HIS WHOLE LIFE) it would be great.
Boots is a 2 year old chihuahua mix. He is crate and house trained (with an excited p*e here and there). He’s good with other dogs his size (15lb) or bigger and is good with cats!! His energy would be great for a family with kids or a young person who wants a dog to go everywhere with them.
Boots is a real gem of a dog, and it kills me he hasn’t found his family. Please share this sweet face so we can maybe get him adopted!

And just like that the last of our Yorkie puppies has been adopted. Alex is now in his forever home and having a blast with his human sisters (video in comments). We can’t wait to get pupdates of all the puppies and see what they look like as they grow. They were all so different looking and with such different personalities. Congrats to all the puppies and their new families.

Lexi has been adopted! Her new name is Daisy and she is already beyond spoiled. She is adjusting to her new life very well and loves running circles around her new mom and dad. We can’t wait for more updates and pics to see if her Yorkie fur ever grows in.

Please keep your dogs safe today. Make sure they are indoors, have a collar and tag, or even your number written on the collar. Make sure your microchip is up to date with current information. If possible stay home with your pets and comfort them. Fireworks are scary and so many people do not respect their neighbors.

Please keep sharing. Maggie has not been found yet. Maggie is missing! Maggie was adopted Sunday and got out out of her collar and harness in the adopters front yard as soon as they got home. She was last seen on Heatherbank and Trentwood in Westlake. Her fur is a little longer than in this picture. Maggie is terrified and will not come to new people. Please contact us if seen. Please call or text 818-400-2082.
