Diamond In The Rough Pet Recovery

24/08/2024

Another little one safe off the streets. Brenda came across a post of a little dog who had been roaming an area south of town since at least last Sunday and went out to trap her as she was running from anyone who tried to hand capture her. She happened to be chipped & was able to be reunited ❤️

Reposting again as a reminder 😁

UPDATE - BRENDA GOT HIM SAFELY & HE IS REUNITED ❤️

This cute little guy went missing from Buffalo Ridge/Crest Ridge area. If seen please call, he is scared & will run. If you happen to get him contained in a fenced area - awesome, but if you see him out walking/running please don't approach or follow. His current and former owner are both working together with my team mates to get him home safely.

Hey all,
Just checking in for this reminder! I am still unavailable to be on the ground for lost pets right now but hoping to be back before too much longer. It has been one thing after another for our family lately. Please keep us in your thoughts & we will see you all again soon. If you need coaching/guidance/tips, please text me.

14/06/2024

Notice:
I will be unavailable to physically help on lost pet cases for quite some time. I can coach & guide, but I will not be able to be boots on the ground. Please check pinned posts for resources/guidance on what to do for your lost pet.

For those who don't know my mom took a fall about 6 weeks ago, we finally got answers from testing/imaging that she has a fractured L2 in her spine. She will likely be having surgery & will need my help until she is healed.

**AS OF 6/23/2024 ACE IS REUNITED**
He managed to make his way home at 3am on his own! What an amazing boy he is! Last escape he did the same within 19 days. This time it was 20 days.
Ace escaped from Broadmoor today (Pershing/HWY 30). Please keep an eye out & report any sightings to the phone number listed. He is naturally a skittish guy & likely won't allow you to approach, but he may be injured so we need eyes open. Thank you.

Please note the time, direction of travel, and behavior (walk/run/laying down) when reporting the sighting please. If you can, snap a 📸 so we can confirm the sighting.

We always recommend GPS collars for pets as they are proven effective. Unlike AirTags, they don't require being within a certain distance of an apple product and requiring Bluetooth on said device to ping. **We've seen with our own eyes a lost dog being within about 35 ft of their owners iPhone & the AirTag not ping.**
GPS collars use cellular towers to transmit live location tracking.

With that being said, it doesn't hurt to have both on and let me explain why. If your GPS collar dies you may still have a chance at locating your lost pet should the AirTag ping off a device.

AJ is back home safe!

Anyone recognize this cutie? He was found off Ave C near LCCC. He will be with me for the evening but will have to go to the shelter.

23/04/2024

Reminder - think lost not dumped. While dumps do happen, please do all of the steps as if it were a lost dog. Report to your local shelter, have them scanned for a microchip, post on your community pages, etc. Some dogs never make it home because of assumptions.

George's recovery story is now available :)

On 4/12/2024 a post was made regarding a dog that had been seen on surveillance coming to a property east of town (Photo 1). We thought maybe a neighbor’s dog is just meandering around & …

16/04/2024

George was trapped safely tonight 4/17 and we have found his owner! Story to come.

If you see this dog east of town, our team is working on getting him/her trapped. Please do not follow or chase him/her off. We need to keep him/her coming to our feeding station so that we can work to trap. Feel free to send me a message if you see him/her. Thank you.

I wanted to give a quick shoutout to the Garcia family (Whiskey Jean's owners). They have donated one in every size of martingale collars from our Amazon wishlist. Thank you so much for your kindness :)

Edit - He has been 🥰
This guy is a sweet 8 month old heeler. He has been around dogs and cats. He has typical herding tendencies. He is looking for a new home, preferably one who knows the breed well. Please reach out with any interest & I will get you connected. Side note - he has not been neutered yet, so that will need done.

*Thank you all for your understanding and compassion during a difficult time for our family. As of 4/10 I am back available to assist lost pet owners.*
Hey all,
Amanda here. I will be completely unavailable to help with lost pets for a bit due to a family medical emergency. Thank you for your understanding during this time.

We have been getting some requests to help with rehoming pets. You will see us occasionally network former cases of ours when the need arises, and we don't mind networking at all if it helps dogs find their forever homes. We cannot generally foster or house dogs who need to be rehomed though. Our shelter and local rescue use the website below and I thought it would be helpful to share for our community.

We believe that rehoming pets should be easy and stress free both for you and your pet. Our experts at Adopt a Pet have created a simple and reliable program to help you place your pet from your loving home directly to another.

Update - both have found a new home ❤️💙

Many of you will remember Diamond the husky we trapped last year in May. Her and her adopted buddy, Mikey, are now looking for new homes. The owner's parents are having a rough time caring for them. It would be best that they stay together, as Diamond really benefits from having another dog in the home. Mikey also really changed for the better when Diamond came into his life. If you would like to get in touch, I am attaching the NextDoor listing, but you can also reach out to me & I can forward your information to Kristina. They are asking for rehoming fees, but the amount is negotiable for the right home. They truly want what's best for them both.

It's been over a year & Kamiko has still not been located. Her family misses her dearly. Please keep watching for any leads of her.

One year ago today, the worst single event of my life happened: Kamiko disappeared from our lives. What a terrible anniversary, one that I thought I could not survive. I am guessing you are no longer alive, but if you are, and someone is holding you, please know that I wish a Karma S**t Sandwich on their heads every day. No one can be that horrible and not have a terrible life. If I knew who your captives were, I would come for them.

I miss you. I love you. Your family thinks about you every day. I still look for you everywhere I go and even just looking out my window.

Sweet Bolin's recovery story :) Thank you to all of those who attempted to help him yesterday. Sometimes all it takes is a familiar person to get them calmed enough to be caught.

It seems like this summer may be a rough one for us. We've had 3 big fires in the recent 2 weeks. Conditions are extremely dry as we haven't had good moisture. Please prepare yourself & pets/livestock for a wildfire at any time.

Plan to take your animals with you and never turn them loose. Animals may not be allowed inside human emergency shelters. Contact your county’s animal services department for advice on animal evacuation.

We got a super exciting email this morning from Pet Search And Rescue! I want to say thank you to those who nominated us! We cannot wait to congratulate those who receive awards for their tireless efforts in lost pet recovery. Keep up the great work that all of you do!

On 2/9 an accident occurred on I-80. Two dogs were reported missing. One someone stated did not make it but the 2nd landed himself on Brenda's family member's land. They were able to capture him & he is being transported back to Cheyenne as we speak to be with his family. He is safe but as you can see he's got some gnarly injuries that will require vet care.

Happy update - Crystal was adopted today 2/3/24 💜💜

Friends please share 💜
Crystal is available for adoption through the Cheyenne Animal Shelter. She is such a sweet gentle soul but is fearful of the world. She needs someone with time & patience to protect her and show her that not all humans are awful. She does extremely well with friendly dogs her size & they can help her learn to dog. I would not recommend a cat home for Crystal as she isn't sure how to interact with them. I highly recommend even in a fenced yard that she have on a properly fitted martingale & leash at all times. Huskies are escape artists, but her fearfulness causes her to take flight very easily & quickly. I am enjoying being her foster mama and seeing her make progress each & every day. She deserves nothing but the best :)

25/01/2024

Good afternoon everyone,
Crystal the husky will be coming to stay with us for the weekend. She's just not doing very well in the shelter environment (no fault of theirs - some dogs just need that 1 on 1 time & quiet to decompress). She is extremely shut down & very flighty. I had some folks ask me on various posts how they could help with donations. While we don't need any monetary donations, Crystal is refusing to eat much. She takes spells of wanting wet foods but is refusing dry food for the most part. If anyone has wet dog food that you'd like to donate, we would gladly take it off your hands for her. Any not used will be donated back to the shelter for others. Thank you :)
