Sadie's New Leash On Life Dog Trapping

07/07/2025

HAPPY UPDATE!

Daisy has been brought to safety by Sadie's New Leash on Life Dog Trapping after being on the run for 8 days!

We were lucky to receive multiple sightings a day of her but the problem was she was moving all over the area in Endwell from Country Club Rd, Taft Ave, Pine St, Columbia Dr, Wayne St and the areas in between each day.

We had a trap set at 2 previous locations where she had been along with other feeding stations.

Yesterday we spoke with a man doing yard work and he said she had been staying in his yard for a few days. He had offered her food (which she declined) and water. The man isn't not in social media and was unaware that there was lost dog in the area. Daisy would return to his property after making her rounds in the neighborhood.

The man allowed us to set up our equipment and trap up in his backyard which was close to the brushy area where Daisy found shelter. We had the trap held open in order for her to feel comfortable going in to get some food.

Daisy went in the trap last night and returned a couple times during the night to check for more food. We set the trap this morning and she went in about an hour later!

Thank you to all of the people who reported sightings of Daisy and understood the importance of not calling to or chasing her.

We assisted in trapping a dog that was apparently dumped in Berkshire. She had been seen in the same very rural area for the past 4 days.

We set up the camera and trap yesterday evening and had it held open to allow the dog to go in comfortably and get a good meal. We saw her quite a distance away watching us from the edge of the woods.

We were very fortunate that we had a few very helpful people willing to help us so we didn't have to drive back and forth to refresh food and set the trap to trip.

One of the helpers set the trap to trip and within 1 minute of him leaving the area she appeared and went right into the trap. Clearly, she had been keeping an eye open for more food!

She appears to be a younger dog and friendly. Again, it is amazing how a dog that is very frightened while loose changes after being brought to safety.

The dog is now in a foster home at this time.

Thank you so much to the those who were concerned about her and reached out for assistance with bringing the dog to safety.

On this date in 2017 sweet Sadie was finally brought to safety. I call it her "gotcha" day but she came into our lives 5 months prior when I was first contacted about her running in a very rural area in the Town of Chenango with a coyote trap on her rear leg.

During those long months of much work trying to help her she continued to travel through Maine, Endicott, Endwell.

I had consulted with Buddha Dog Rescue and Recovery in NJ who had given me many ideas on what to try to trap her. Unfortunately, she was having no part if a humane box trap.

Nicole, from Buddha Dog came up and set up an enclosure trap and we were able to get her at a house she had been frequenting where a man had been putting food out for wildlife.

Sadie went to a rescue in NJ that could deal with her special needs. It was later learned that she had become lost on a fox hunt 2 1/2 years prior! She had the hunt club collar on and their contact info. 2The didn't want her back because she had lost her foot from the coyote trap.

As fate would have it, we really met her when we went to NJ to pick up our crate. She was such a shut-down, scared dog. We decided we would adopt her and make the commitment to keep her safe.

I have had many, many dogs in my life and have loved each one and all have been very special. But Sadie really left an extra special mark on me. Not only was she an incredible survivors but how amazing it was to watch her slowly blossom from a shut down dog to a happy pup who later even learned to snuggle and become a couch potato. We really miss her! 💜

Sweet Sadie is THE reason we started traping lost and stray dogs. She really taught us dogs are animals first and pets second and survival instincts kick in (although Sadie was not a pet but a kennel dog)

HAPPY NEWS!!!

We assisted Town of Union Dog Control with a little dog that had been seen running around Boland Park in Johnson City for the past 3 days. He would run any time someone started to approach him.

I set the trap close by under a pavilion which was close to the area of the playground equipment where it had found safety under the slide. Unfortunately, he was scared away by people who went to the park to enjoy a picnic. He seemed to always return to the area under the slide so we figured he would again.

We took advantage of him leaving the area to move the trap under the play equipment. Certainly not the ideal place to set up but that was where he kept returning to.

Today's temperatures in the upper 80's with high humidity surely wasn't fun for the dog!

He was dragging a partial leash and no one has reported him missing. He seems like a nice little dog and he wagged its tail when we got him. It is always amazing to see a very scared dog feel the sense of safety after being trapped; of course, it doesn't happen with all the dogs we trap.

He is now in the care of the Broome County Dog Shelter. 🙂

The dog is laying down near the red mark in the photo.

We assisted the Town of Union Dog Control this morning with a VERY skittish young male dog that had been seen in the area of Spruce St since yesterday.

The dog had been seen on camera at 6:30 am yesterday on Wren St. We have been told that JC Police attempted to get the dog yesterday with no success; with how scared the dog was it is not surprising. Fortunately, it found a nice safe area to stay.

I am sure he is a sweet dog but was just extremely scared.

He is now in the care of the Broome County Dog Shelter. 😊

Look at Poppy play!!

For those of you that don't remember, Poppy is a former Korean meat market dog that was adopted out and then became lost. She traveled over 60 miles and was finally trap 5 months later.

She was taken into the care of Project Paws who dedicated themselves to helping her acclimate and learn to trust people. She has now been adopted into a perfect home that suits her special needs. 😍
