SCRIM UPDATE:

I had a change of heart.

I know that a lot of you knew that Freba Maulauizada and Tammy Murray were going to take Scrim home. Their application was approved.

When he came her after being captured to decompress, Scooby got along with him. My cats accepted him. He fit. I changed my mind. I wanted him to be my dog.

For those of you who don’t know, Tammy Murray was with me every step of the way during Scrim’s time on the run. She spent countless sleepless nights driving around, moving traps, putting out feeding stations, assembling the Scrim recovery team and doing everything she could to try to safely capture him. Her dedication to him is unparalleled. She was not just a person who was interested in adopting Scrim. She helped save him.

So, I had to break it to Freba and Tammy that I changed my mind, and I want to keep Scrim at my house. Of course they took it hard. I hope in time we will all heal. Right now, there is a lot of hurt and pain.

I know she and Freba love him with all their hearts. I thank them and the team immensely.

Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with us. I will update you on his future progress.

SCRIM UPDATE!

It's been a most wonderful couple of days having Scrim here with me. He is learning to dog again.

Most of his day is spent napping in his dog bed. He does get up and explore the house, and then goes right back into his bed and takes a nap. He met my asscats (again) and they told him his place in the house and he respected their opinions and his place in the social hierarchy here as determined by them. Because: cats.

Tammy came over today and they spent an hour outside together. It's so bizarre. He is completely relaxed in the house. The minute we take him outside to potty, he starts shaking and shuts down. Thanks to Tammy's patience, he will settle down and just exist outside after a little while. Today, when their outside session was done, he walked directly to the back door and asked to be let in. WHAT? Amazing. He calmly walked in and went straight to his bed for, you guessed it, another long nap.

I thought I would send this cute video Tammy filmed Wednesday night. He has some epic puppy dreams and I am glad she was able to get one on camera.

Enjoy! Michelle

SCRIM UPDATE!!!

We are thrilled to announce that Scrim is the Grand Marshall of Mystic Krewe of Barkus New Orleans!!!!!! He WILL NOT be at the parade. He does not enjoy crowds! BUT, this statue I made of him while waiting for sightings over the last month will be his stand in. (Thank you for showing me how to do this. Y'all are rock stars!) The Scrim statue will be pushed down the route by the amazing Scrim Recovery Team members!!!! We have Scrim theme throws and other suprises. We can't wait to see you out there!!!

The last 36 hours have been unbelievable!!!! He is roaming around the house, just being an inside dog. We are spending tons of time outside with him and also giving him time alone inside to decompress. He slept in bed with us last night, curled up between me and Scooby. He is so relaxed being back inside. When we take him outside to potty, he leads us back up the stairs to the door to come inside!

Even with his new calmer self in the house, we have still surrounded my fence with construction wire wrap, the windows are locked, the doors are locked, he is wearing a collar and and an AirTag. You can't be too careful. It is Scrim after all.

Thank you to everyone for making this happen. Michelle

PS. If you look just to the right of the Scrim statue, you will see him hanging out in his bed:)

Scrim is SAFE!

This morning at 7:02am, while on a jog with my dog, I got a text from Nita from Trap Dat Cat She said she thought Jennifer, one of her rescuers, might have trapped Scrim. She sent a photo. It looked like him, but I could not be sure. We have set so many traps in Mid-City in the last nine months. I raced to the location. It was only fifteen minutes, but it felt like forever. When I arrived, I peeked in the cage sitting on Jennifer’s porch, and saw those big eyes and floppy ears. It was Scrim!

I immediately called Dr. Joe at Metairie Small Animal Hospital and he told me to meet him at the hospital. I messaged Team Scrim and they were in disbelief. We’ve had so many near rescues in the last three months. They couldn't believe he went in a cat trap with all the traps we set.

At the hospital, Dr. Joe gave Scrim a full exam and x-rays. Aside from tapeworms and other intestinal parasites from drinking street water, Scrim was in good health. He was so calm. It was unbelievable,

We brought him home, and he even fell asleep in Tammy’s arms.

He has had quite an ordeal since leaping from a second story window in November. He had to start over in a completely different part of New Orleans. He spent a month trying to find a way from Uptown to Mid-City—and succeeded!

On Christmas Day, he found himself lost in Old Metairie, vanished, and reappeared in Harrahan, and then found his way back to Mid-City.

He survived thunderstorms and New Years fireworks. Loud noises terrify him. During the subzero temperatures and a blizzard, he had the Scrim rescue team driving around in a foot of snow keeping feeding stations filled with food.

For now, he is safe and recovering from a very big adventure. Once he is ready, we have a new home lined up with plenty outdoor space and other dog friends to help him socialize. Scrim has a happy future ahead of him, with lots of running and lots of love.

Thank you to Trap Dat Cat and thank you to all of New Orleans for your overwhelming support. Your hundreds of sightings helped us bring him home.

Tonight, we all sleep the sleep of the freshly rescued. Michelle

SAFE!!! Full story after Dr. Joe examines him.

Scrim Update:

Scrim was out and about early this morning near City Park and later spotted around Blue Oak BBQ again. Unfortunately, our team wasn’t able to track him down. He’s probably found some food and tucked himself under a house to rest for a bit. If you spot him, please text FiveOhFour.231.7865.

Now for some exciting news! We’ve got big surprises planned for the Mystic Krewe of Barkus New Orleans parade on February 23rd! To support all the rescues in our program, we’ve launched a brand-new fundraiser featuring Scrim merch, and I’m especially pumped about the Scrim dog t-shirts!

You can grab these (and more) at our booth at Barkus. If you can’t make it to the parade, don’t worry—you can order online at https://go.rallyup.com/scrim. The link is also in our Linktree in our bio.

Thank you for your continued support. Let’s get Scrim home! Michelle

SCRIM UPDATE:
I think hands down, this is my favorite Scrim video ever sent to me...well, or at least in equal standing with the 'SCRIM M*THER F*UCKER' video sighting. This video perfectly captures how we feel when we see him too!

As one of the recovery team members said: "I want her to follow me around and pep talk me through life".

This video was taken last night around Banks/Dupre. The team was there within minutes and he was no where to be found.

It looks like his coat is finally growing out, giving him some much needed protection from the elements!

You can check out his recent locations at www.scrimtracker.com.

Keep those sightings coming to FiveOhFour.231.7865.

Thanks! Michelle

SCRIM UPDATE:

It was a long 72 hours without a confirmed sighting of Scrim. This pic was taken and sent to me at 10:15 last night in the area around Blue Oak BBQ.

He is close to many of our feeding stations, trail cameras and humane traps. Any day now, hopefully he will go into one or we can get us in an area where we can net him!

We have not given up. Thank you to everyone that is putting out food and water for him. I really appreciate it and I am sure he does too! Michelle

01/23/2025

SCRIM UPDATE:

Scrim was out and running around Mid City from around 9:40a – 10:15a today. The team was out but couldn’t get close.

It is about time for him to start running around looking for dinner. If you live in Mid City, please consider putting out some food/warm water/something to keep him warm outside.

I have had a couple of observant people text me today with dog sized footprints going under their house. If you happen to notice some around your house, or see Scrim, please text FiveOhFour.231.7865.

And, a HUGE thank you to the people who made Scrim snowmen today. It brought much joy to the team at a very stressful time. Michelle

HE'S ALIVE!
Scrim made it through the snow! We can all take a giant sigh of relief.

This video was from 6:43pm. He was headed to Carrollton from Bienville.

The recovery team that lives in Mid City are out looking for him.

Please put out food/warm water for him if you live in Mid City. He is looking for food and warmth.

He is resourceful. If we give him a little help, he just might make it through this. Thanks. Michelle

01/21/2025

SCRIM UPDATE:

Scrim is still in MidCity.

Thanks to a tip, the team was able to assemble and track his movements at sunset yesterday, but we were not able to get in position to use the netgun. He was moving FAST. The last sighting was at 5:30pm.

He is dirty and matted again, but thankfully from the pictures sent to me, it looks like his coat has grown in enough to give him some protection from the cold.

As always, we have our feeding/water/warming stations out for him (and any other pet who finds their way to them) along with our trail cams to monitor the humane traps.

If you live in Mid City, please consider putting out some food/water/blanket/hay/heating pad or anything to keep the pets warm outside your house.

I'll post any other sightings when I get them. Thank you to everyone for keeping an eye out for him and reporting sightings to FiveOhFour.231.7865. Michelle

SCRIM UPDATE:

Scrim moved around MidCity and Lakeview last night. We got tons of sightings and videos from people who saw them on their porch, their neighbor's porch or running along the railroad tracks.

The team was out last night. His feeding stations were filled and trail cams deployed.

We are trying our very best to safely capture him before the cold snap.

SCRIM UPDATE: Scrim was very active around Mid City yesterday. Someone sent me this video of him traveling down the track by Rosedale. Railroad tracks are one of his favorite 'interstates' where he can quickly and safely get from one area to another. We have moved our humane traps, feeding stations and trail cams to his new areas. He looks good in the video. Thanks to everyone that is putting out food/water/blankets for him. Knowing when he goes under a house to rest/sleep will be key to safely capturing him. I really hope that someone sees him duck under a house and lets me know! That would be ideal! MUCH LOVE to Bayou Daiquiris for hosting their gumbo cookoff and fundraiser last night. The gumbo teams served up some of the best gumbo I have had in a long time. It was great to meet so many people who love and care about Scrim as much as I do. It was a great night, and all the money raised last night is going directly to the medical care of the rescues in our program! Michelle

SCRIM UPDATE: Scrim was on Orleans Avenue, headed to City Park Avenue at 7:20 this morning. By the time the rescue team made it out, he was already gone. Much thanks to the person who sent us this video, confirming he was OK. Barbara, Tammy and Bonnie have been out this afternoon, looking for Scrim in his last known area, baiting the traps, putting out liquid smoke trails to them and filling the feeding stations in the hopes of capturing him before the cold snap tonight. If you live in Mid City, please consider putting out some food/water/a blanket for him. It is going to be cold for the next couple of days and we want to give him his best chance of survival out there. Please, if you see him, text FiveOhFour.231.7865 with his location/direction traveling. The recovery team is standing by. Thanks Michelle

Scrim Update: Scrim made it through the New Year's fireworks! I want to send a HUGE thank you to the driver/passenger who was quick enough to catch a fleeting glimpse of him on the run. This was our only sighting of him yesterday as he crossed Esplanade down Gayoso towards Gayoso. We continue to search for his new location so that we can place food, water and the humane traps to hopefully get him to safety before the cold weather comes in a few days. Thank you to everyone who reports sightings. If you see him or think you might know where he hides (under a house/in a backyard/general area) please text me at FiveOhFour.231.7865. Thanks! Michelle

Scrim Videos: Thank you to everyone who reported sightings of Scrim in Harahan last night and for not giving up hope on his successful recovery. I’d to share the last two videos we received from the public of him. The first video 100% confirmed that Scrim was in Harahan. (We’ve received photos/videos of dogs resembling Scrim, from Kenner to the LGD, but none of them were him) The second video is from Christmas Eve, which I had initially hesitated to share. After that sighting, we had no updates, leaving us uncertain if he successfully crossed the train tracks. I didn’t want to share the video if it marked a tragic ending for him. Tammy thoroughly walked the tracks from Old Metairie to Uptown looking for him, but it now seems that Scrim followed the tracks toward Harahan instead of Uptown. We’ll be hanging signs in the areas where he was seen last night and have humane traps ready to set up once we better pinpoint his location. Scrim is terrified of fireworks, and when they start going off, he’s likely to run, making it hard to predict which direction he might travel. Please keep an eye out and report any sightings by texting FiveOhFour.231.7866 with any sightings. He could stay in Harahan, head to Kenner or back to Mid City or Uptown. There is no way to predict where he will run when the fireworks start, and he is in flight mode. We can only hope his street smarts keep him safe. I’ve received numerous texts, calls, and DMs about the various Scrim pages circulating on social media. To avoid confusion, I’ll start updating the original Scrim pages I created when he was safely recovered in October. These pages will now share the same updates I post on Zeus’ Place and Zeus’ Rescues accounts. The other pages are managed by individuals unknown to me and feature their own ideas, memes, links, and updates, etc. While I’m not in any way asking you to not follow them, I want to clarify that only the pages under my business accounts contain the m
