November 29 is the date Mason’s foster has to bring him back to me (she’s moving out of state) and we have had ZERO foster offers for him. I prefer to not add another cat to my crew. Please apply to adopt or foster is www.sparklecatrescue.org 🐱 Mason has been fostering with another cat and 2 tiny dogs. He’s a little over a year old.

If you have no voice control over your dog, keep them on a leash.

How’s our favorite girl & what’s life like with her right now???….

❤️She’s Fabulous! Steadily coming out of her shell and adapting to domesticated life.

❤️She has acquired a taste for snuggling & sleeping in the bed.

🏡She has decided she hates being outside…ever….and prefers being inside making excercise/potty time just a joy lemme tell ya.

❤️She runs to the door every time we come in with her fuzzy helicopter tail just a spinning.

🐾Her back feet are always straight out behind her when she lays or sleeps on her belly.

🦴She knows what toys are and loves them. Loves them right into a million shredded pieces.

❤️She loves plastic drink bottles more than toys and swipes every one she can get to or find.

😂She constantly steals her GSD sister, Kali’s, frisbee.

🏠She follows us to every room and hangs out with her hoomans.

🐕‍🦺She hasn’t barked yet.

🐕‍🦺She sh*ts like a horse.

💋She loves giving kisses.

🐾She takes stranger danger seriously and still bolts at the sight or sound of anyone new.

She surprises me every day with how resilient & curious & brave she is. I am beyond grateful to be with her on this healing journey. And most grateful to be her Momma ❤️ Keep the positive vibes and prayers coming. She’s doing great, but still has so far to go ❤️❤️❤️

Everybody’s favorite girl wanted to say Hi and let you all know she is doing well!

She has been decompressing in her very own quiet space. I’ve been spending much time with her there & sleeping in there as well. All meals are being hand fed at this point. She has been sleeping ALOT!! Which is wonderful as she is physically and mentally just exhausted. Each day she is coming out of her protective shell a little. Those tails wags just get me to crying every time!!

Her check-in at BAS went great!! She’s heartworm negative!!!! WooHoo!!! Tested her twice to be sure. All shots up to date. No apparent issues physically and she was already spayed. Microchipped & we are making the adoption official end of week ❤️😭❤️

She has a full vetting coming after her grooming which is already set up. Keep sending her lots of positive vibes and prayers. She is overwhelmed with all the change, but in true PG fashion, is taking it all in like a champ! She is one loved, amazing pup that humbles me to tears everytime she looks at me with those kind, soulful eyes ❤️😍🥰❤️😍

***PG would love for you to help her on her healing journey if you can find it in your heart. She also says she might need some cute shirts & sweaters once she is shaved down🤷🏻‍♀️. Her requested toys & treats list is getting quite long as well. She’s such a spoiled princess these days. Donations may be made to…

Been a tad radio silent about Miss Sassy Pants. However, she is doing well. We still have eyes on her every night, and for that we are super thankful.

Since the last update, much has been going on behind the scenes. We have tried every variation of a missy trap we can think of…

Enlarging it up to super-sized.
Widening the door up to super-wide.
Different types of low-vis mesh tops.
Every type of lure.
Every type of high value treat.
Every type of conditioning.
Everything that myself and several other experienced trappers can think of.

Bottom line….If it has sides + a top….she isn’t going in it. She’s just not. Sides with no top or top with no sides…she’s good. It’s frustrating, but doesn’t shock me. I strapped a real-time gps tracker to a raw bone and tracked her for almost (4) days until she finally ate the bone enough, the tracker fell off. She never once took storm or nightfall cover in an enclosed space. She slept in the open for short intervals, then moved to a new spot. Sides + top is just not going to work.

The radio silence has been more to prevent any interference. We have an updated recovery plan and the success of that plan is contingent on us maintaining control of her feedings. Some folks that gave us heavy interference & increased great risk to the dog in a recent case, are asking too many questions about PG’s location. They’ve made zero progress on getting on top of her so far, and we intend to keep it that way. We hope the next update is the big news we all have been waiting for….but please know, in our silence, we are still working daily to get this girl in safely.

We are excited to announce and partner with Kevin Pence of BRATT (Beagle Recovery and Trapping Team). Kevin answered my literal SOS call and didn’t hesitate with an offer to deploy his drop-net trap. I could not be more grateful and humbled. With a 24’x24’ net mounted on (4) 8’ tall poles….it perfectly fits the bill of a “top + no sides”. We are currently working her from her previous feeding area toward the center of the net. Then it’s time to go live.

We have been after this girl for a long long time. We have met some amazing folks on this journey. Kevin and his BRATT team are just that…nothing shy of amazing, kind, compassionate folks and their hearts are truly in it for the dogs.

Keep sending PG, us and BRATT all the positive vibes, prayers and good energy you can spare. It’s time for this extraordinary warrior of a dog to come on in.

Xoxoxoxoxox…..PG & Kellie ❤️
