Stella was a recently adopted ACS girl that decided she wanted to check out her new neighborhood, so she went on a walkabout.

Her owner reached out to a couple of different people in rescue. One of the trappers was able to drop a trap off, so the owners set up the trap at a drainage ditch Stella had been frequenting but Stella was still elusive.

I happened to be in Bandera for the second day/night in a row trying to find and catch Arkey, so I told the owner I wasn't able to get out to their house until almost 11 pm.

Once I arrived, we set the trap and cameras up in her front yard, I always try to start at the scene of the crime (where they got away), especially at night.

I hung around for a little while, but I was so tired, I left at 1 am because I live only about 10 minutes away and could get there and help get her situated and pick up my trap once caught.

Around 2:30 am the camera notifications started going off, Stella was circling the trap. By 2:45 am we had her.

Hopefully Stella has settled into her new home and is a happy girl!

Brier Haired Yorkie

This tiny girl, just when her and her sibling found a rescue to take them, got the slip on her caretaker.

She headed to the nearest greenbelt and only peeked out to grab food the neighborhood people left for her.

I set me trap and backed way off to observe using my binoculars. Within a few minutes I saw a tiny head peek around the fence.

In no time, she went to the trap for the delicious smelling food coming from within it. Got her.

Poor girl's hair was so matted with briers.

Arkey Blue Where are you?

This guy was spotted all over Bandera, TX for a while, so Pat Godkin/A Doggie 4 You called me in to trap.

Well, I spent most of the day into the night trying find him then trying to get him in the trap. Of course, he had his routine and was well fed.

I even had Debbie Davis (Gods Dogs Rescue) and husband Ray stop by and bring me some dinner.

It's getting dark and Arkey did not want to go in so the big guns, Sandra Schott showed up.

Sandra brought her beautiful girl with her and Arkey immediately fell head over hills for her. We devised a plan to use the female dog persuasion to get him.

Sandra's girl was tethered in the back seat passenger side of her vehicle, the front drivers door was open, and Sandra was crouching around the vehicle to shut the door.

And like it was nothing and Sandra was Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Arkey was in there and the door shut!

Arkey has since been adopted through AD4Y!

This girl was dumped out in the Dancing Bear area near Medina Lake.

A friend asked me to come out to help secure and scan her for a microchip.

Once out there we did get a leash on her and scanned her. What a sweet girl she must belong to someone in the area, right? I checked for a chip, guess what? Our luck is getting real good, she has a chip!

I immediately sent the info to Pat Godkin with A Doggie 4 You to run the chip number. WOW, all the owners info is listed, great! Yeah no! Pat got ahold of a lady that said the dog belonged to her daughter. Of course, the address was over 25 miles away so Pat asked the lady about picking up the dog. The lady said daughter is now in college and doesn't need the dog.

Pat said so basically y'all dumped the dog in the country, the lady hung up on her.

How has dumping become the new normal?

Dancing Bear girl/Ebony has since been adopted through AD4Y!

Meet Rohan, though I did not trap him, I did help rescue him from a horrible situation.

I was contacted by a friend named John about a situation going on next door to him.

Rohan was just a pup, living with a mentally unstable person that was physically abusing and neglecting him. John called asking what he could do to get Rohan away from the guy.

Legally, I told john all he could do was report the abuse to local Animal Control and ask the neighbor if he would be willing to surrender Rohan once we found a rescue but, in the meantime, continue to feed Rohan on the sly while we get a plan going.

Our friends at A Doggie 4 You heard about Rohan and agreed to take him into the rescue!

John managed to convince the neighbor to release Rohan and drove him all the way to San Antonio where I met him to transport the rest of the way to AD4Y!

You can tell by Rohan's pictures that he had skin issues and was also on the skinny side. Today He has all his fur and is looking good, but he decided he wanted to be a little on the uppity side with a few of his kennel mates and is currently working his issues out with a trainer.

Lauren Barrios had multiple dogs dumped on her street. She worked with Bexar County AC to get some off the streets, but this shy guy needed a little extra time and space, so we set up the Missy Trap in a neighbor's yard and put a camera on it to watch from a distance.

We got him just before midnight.

One of Lauren's neighbors was going to foster but after a few days, decide they would be his forever home!

I almost forgot about this girl and the next one I will post.

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the moment and have to act fast we forget pictures.

In this case, this girl was very pregnant and about to pop, living at a new construction site. We had to get her before she started having babies out there.

Lauren Barrios and I set the trap at night but she wouldn’t go into it that night. We got word that she was acting like she was searching for a place to have the babies, the next day, so we went back out that night.

Trap set again and we backed off around the corner so she wouldn’t see us. We waited for a little while to check the trap. We got her!

Late April 2nd she started having babies through the night, 11 total.

Thank you Lynette for taken this family on!

On May 17th I received a message from Amanda with Pets Are Worth Saving in Erath County, TX about 2 dogs that had been dumped on a property in Chalk Mountain, TX.

Chalk Mountain is less than 30 minutes from my sister and some friends in the Hico area so I took advantage of the opportunity to help get the dogs safe and headed to Hico on the 19th.

My sister and I got up early on the 20th, had breakfast and met with the finder who we followed out to the property.

When we got there, we were greeted by two of the sweetest dogs ever.

Pat Godkin from A Doggie 4 You asked Lauren Barrios and me to trap these four babies. The information we got was, their owner had passed away and the next-door neighbor had been feeding them.

Once we got there and set up, the neighbor can out, he to tell us their story. He was the owners father but could not catch them and could not take care of them long term so once caught they would be going to A Doggie 4 You.

We caught 2 in the missy trap and the other 2 in box traps.

Another rescue initiated by Nadia Rivera.

This girl, now named Jamie, had been hanging around a Site One Landscaping property off of I-10. She found a special fondness for one of the workers named James and would follow him everywhere he was working.

The usual "You aren't going to be able to trap her, she is too smart" was told to me by a few of the office and yard workers. Of course, I always accept the challenge, but really is it a challenge or is it just trapping magic aka tricks of the trade?

With the help of James hanging around and dropping food in the trap, we got her.

At the beginning of May, Sandra Schott from Bandera texted me about 2 huskies and an Anatolian on a property out in Bandera county, the owner had passed away.

The dogs wouldn't allow her to leash them, and I was out of town at the time.

Sandra let me know a few of days after initial texting that she managed to get the 2 huskies but needed help with the Anatolian.

I was back in town, so we set up a meet time for the 9th. Once there, we assessed the situation and came up with a plan.

The dog in the backyard of the very cluttered with junk everywhere property. No easy way to get the trap in the backyard, so we cut a square out of the fence just big enough for the front of the trap to slide into.

Within minutes we had this beauty and on the to the shelter.

While out trying to catch Biscuit the Chow Chow (she has since been caught by ACS) this girl came up and wanted food. We fed her but she wanted more and wouldn't leave.

Super friendly girl allowed me to scan her, yup you guessed it, no chip no spay mark/scar.

I posted her for foster/rescue, Gods Dogs Rescue was gracious enough to take her.

Nicole Brown needed this guy caught so he got got. But not without a little difficulty. There was an Interloper wanting to eat all the food.

Unlike my friend Henry from a few weeks before, he would not get in the van. I had to try and get his attention while the chihuahua not looking, I threw food scattered behind the van. After few attempts of divide and conquer, success.

April 29, 2023 Nicole Brown needed this guy caught so he got got. But not without a little difficulty. There was an Interloper wanting to eat all the food. Unlike my friend Henry from a few weeks before, he would not get in the van. I had to try and get his attention while the chihuahua not looking, I threw food scattered behind the van. After few attempts of divide and conquer, success.

April 24, 2023 This little guy took up residence at a local families house so they posted him on local lost and found pages. I was contacted by a friend of a friend to trap him. Of course, he ran to the neighbor's house when I arrived with the trap. I got permission to set the trap in finder's yard and backed off to wait for him to come back. He couldn't resist the food in the trap.
