Professor needs your support! He enjoys the company of calm dogs, is learning how to play with toys and is enjoying being an inside dog with all the food and treats. He is still in need of a long term foster/ adopter. He is with a temporary foster in Richmond, a person involved in his Richmond rescue who graciously opened their home while awaiting his Va Beach based rescue group to secure him a home. Please share to all friends and rescue groups.
PROFESSOR in need of a long term foster/ adopter! He's doing great in his temporary/ short term foster home, exploring more and more every day and being very brave. He's in need of a long term foster/ adopter who can continue giving him some tlc and learning how to dog. He had minimal human contact in his previous life and is a survivor-running on the streets of Richmond, VA for 9 months before being caught. He's enjoying the indoor life now and looking for that special person to help him learn, grow and enjoy the comforts of being a house dog! Contact this page or Second Chance Habitat Rescue for application.
Professor is from a rescue group out of Va Beach - Second Chance Habitat- and was being fostered in the RVA area when he went missing last June. He is currently in a short term foster home decompressing from his life on the run. He will need a long term foster or adoption home with someone with experience of scared, feral type dogs. Contact this page or Second Chance Habitat if interested.
PROFESSOR IS SAFE!! We're thrilled to announce Professor was safely captured overnight after 9 months (268 days) on the run in the Richmond, VA area. It was a huge team effort by a group of dedicated volunteers to safely get this street smart and trap savvy dog off the streets!
Fans of Professor- We are still very active in recording Professor's movements and the plans to trap him. We had to make some changes to the trap set up and now we're making steady progress to his liking. Slow and steady. Check out these cute videos of him in comments. (The flashes are of other cell game cameras n addition to the live videos). Fingers crossed for continued progress! If you see him, Don't chase! Call 804-833-0655 with location of sighting.
Richmond , VA.
Happy New Year! An update on Professor- dedicated volunteers are still working daily to bring Professor to safety. We are getting nightly photos and videos of him as he passes along his route doing his nightly routine and Yes, we're actively trying to trap him. He's street smart and trap savvy - using survival skills to manage on his own since running off from a foster home in June 2020. Those survival skills come in handy for him but makes it more challenging for the hoomans trying to bring him to safety as he's scared of people, cars and anything that moves AND anything new! We're using all the great foods imaginable and working with the pros. Keep sending your best wishes to get Professor safely off the streets and feel free to contact any and all animal communicators you can! If you see Professor, make note of location and call the number listed. Do Not Chase!!
CALL 804-833-0655 for sightings.
Alright- 3rd night is the charm hopefully!
Thanks to some dedicated Professor fans, the food is out and trap is ready again. Also, if this is your cat, please bring him at night...he keeps visiting and snacking!
He came close early evening to the door.
We’re surprised he didn’t follow the trail but this boy is smart-he is named Professor! Hoping he’ll swing back By later....
Professor visited last night, but didn’t go in. We’ve replenished the site and set it again.
Hoping tonite is the night! 🤞🏼
Trap is set! We need as many prayers, good thoughts and luck as everyone can give! Let’s get Professor out of the cold asap 🤞🏼
We've definitely spotted Professor in the Northside of RIchmond VA! He still has on his red collar and still has no tail! A few dedicated volunteers laid out food the last two evenings and set up trail cameras... and we're excited to share Professor found them and had a good meal. Now we just need volunteers to continue quietly refilling the water and food bowls to keep him in the area. Thanks to everyone who has been keeping their eyes out for him. Continue calling/messaging in any sightings.

This time He did NOT have the red harness on, but pretty certain it was him as there were all of the other distinguishing features. DO NOT CHASE! Please continue keeping a lookout and notify us of any sightings!

Professor is still missing. No reported sightings since ~July 20/21 in the Richmond , VA Northside (Rosedale, Sherwood Park) areas. Please help keep a lookout for any dog listed as black/ brown wearing RED HARNESS and let us know of any sightings. He could be anywhere. His foster home was in the West End Henrico areas so he's already covered a lot of distance.
His sightings in Northside within the last 2 weeks in July generally had him "running fast" early am. He's also been know to hide in quiet wooded areas near train tracks. He will not come to people and will need to be trapped.
Even though we haven’t been feeding Professor yet, we’ve been entertained with some of the wildlife enjoying the goods! PLEASE continue to keep your eyes peeled, particularly if you’re out early in the morning for Professor and make sure to contact us ASAP. Thanks!
