Another dog home for Christmas!!
Welcome home Everly.
5 days she was gone and avoiding people. Blizzard and Courtney even saw her briefly on the railroad tracks but she turned and ran. Mom was diligent in her efforts and it paid off.
She is now going to be able to spend Christmas in a nice warm home with her beloved family.

Birdie bolted out of the door of her new home early Monday morning. I caught wind of her story on Nextdoor and reached out to offer some advice. (Few people know about dog trackers and trappers.) One thing lead to the next of course. Dog Gone Detectives visited the scene with their scent dog Blizzard yesterday and told us she was moving east, so I set out this morning to search. There hadn’t been any sightings, so really I was only going by their lead. Sure enough turned a corner in the Hamilton Park neighborhood and there she was! I jumped out of my car, sat on the curb and started tossing bits of burrito her way. She came closer and closer, but I couldn’t touch her and I certainly couldn’t get a slip lead on her, so I decided to start tossing bits into my car hoping she’d take the bait. (It helped that I knew that she liked car rides.) Eventually she got all the way in and I gently shut the door behind her. Saved! Birdie is off the streets! She’s going back to her owner at lunchtime today.

Response time was excellent. Blizzard was on the scene within 12hrs of me reaching out and tracked our dog’s direction which saved time in our search efforts and allowed us to focus and find our girl the following day!!! Thank you Kat, Courtney & Blizzard!!

Welcome home Love!

2 days you had been gone when we got the call from your mom.
I don’t know how you got down in that culvert but I’m so glad Blizzard figured it out. We followed it for quite a ways and didn’t see you so we told your mom to go hang out and talk to people around there.
She called me in tears and said she found you. Apparently some construction workers heard your cry and rescued you that morning. They even fed you some Chick-fil-A and kept you safe.

Welcome home Bently!
Well this was Courtneys first walk up find. Her and Blizzard have found lots of dogs but they are usually dead or the client has to end up putting a trap up to catch them.
Courtney did a good job coaching the clients not to call the dog and to get down low and talk soft. And he finally came to them.
Bently had been out 2 nights.

I had a feeling it was going to be too hot for a trail but thought we’d give it a try anyway. Blizzard was very clear on her indicating that the trail didn’t go any further than the wooded area. Leslie and Eric
followed instructions exactly and got Bruno home.

From a client

Bruno has been found! 🥹 Blizzard the wonder dog and Kat Manning are amazing! Blizzard tracked back and forth in heavy brush we were not able to get through. She kept telling us he was there, we just couldn’t see him or get through. We had to call it off due to heat and were given specific instruction by Kat of what to do.
45 minutes after they left, my husband went to take water out to that area, here came Bruno BOOKING towards the house because he heard his brothers collar jingling.
Covered in fire ant bites, vines and thorns from the brush. But running for his life back home.
I cannot speak enough praises and thanks to Dog Gone Detectives, Blizzard the wonder dog, and Kat Manning! If you ever have a lost pet, they are the ones to call!!!!!

Welcome home Luci
Even though Blizzard hadn’t made it to the neighbors house yet, we were only about 100 yards away when we got the call that you were home safe.
I’m sure you’re tired from your big adventure.

Be on the lookout for this dog.
She was a board and train with her Aussie sister at Tx Stock Dogs in Poolville. When Brooklyn and her husband went to pick the dogs up they only got one back. This one is missing.

From the owner, Brooklyn
Please be on the lookout! Our toy aussie is missing. She escaped from the trainer! We call her Bug! She is so sweet! We miss her very much! Please someone be on the lookout for her! Last time we seen her she was wearing a purple harness.

Welcome home Miley!

She wasn’t very far from home at all but she couldn’t figure out how she got into the fenced yard of an abandoned house.
