Today is National Lost Dog Awareness Day. Please share this video and help people remember that there are still many dogs missing in our area. Most “stray” dogs are really lost dogs! Thank you to Professional Pet Trackers for putting this video together. #lostdog
Great News!!! Today Carmen and Kenny from Professional Pet Trackers came out to check the most recent sighting near the Saratoga Elementary School. Two different dogs got strong positives for scent. We feel quite confident that it was our girl!
Saratoga is the far southern end of her territory, but the way she moves, she could be anywhere from Fairfax to Fountainhead by now. We are just ecstatic to have confirmation that she is still out there surviving.
In the next few days, we will do a more detailed post about ways you can help. Thank you so much to everyone who continues to spread the word, call in sightings and keep the the positive energy going!
Bogey’s Scent Confirmed in Burke
5/12 Update: The Tracker team of Carmen and K9 Rose confirmed Bogey’s scent in #Burke! Thank you to those who called in the sightings. Please report any possible sightings immediately to Annie at 703-596-9296. Thank you! #fairfaxcounty
Tracking Bogey Spring 2022
4/10 Update: This week was both exciting and frustrating. We had three sightings. All were in the area of Accotink Creek.
The first was around 8:30am on Wednesday morning. Bogey was seen along the creek bed and looked to have something in her mouth, like a squirrel or small rodent. That’s great news for her survival, but a bit frustrating because if she is hunting and feeding herself it makes it even harder to attract her to feeding stations.
The second sighting came on Wednesday afternoon. Bogey was seen crossing the road toward a neighborhood where Annie had just finished putting flyers up about 30 minutes before. It’s exciting to think that perhaps she picked up Annie’s or Cassie‘s scent and came looking. It’s also frustrating to have been so close and missed her. But if Bogey is picking up and following our scent then we have hope that maybe one day we will actually run into each other!
Since this was a new area to us, we decided to bring out the tracker team of Sam and Abby to confirm that the sightings were actually Bogey. They came on Thursday and did get Bogey’s scent.
The third sighting came on Friday about 2 miles from the ones on Wednesday. It was a typical sighting of a dog matching her description moving fast like it was chasing something.
Since we did not have signs in this area, it’s hard to know for certain whether this is a new area for Bogey, or whether she’s been here before but no one reported it.
While waiting for the tracker, I was approached by a lady who said she had seen a dog in the area twice before but never reported it. She had seen signs in other areas, but her husband had convinced her that the dog she saw was probably not Bogey, so she did not call.
We know our followers would report sightings right away, so we really need your help to spread the word… if you see something, please say something! Please let us decide whether it might have been her. 703-596-9296 #FairfaxCounty

Cook Out
Here is a look behind-the-scenes as to what happens after we get a report of a Bogey sighting…
Bogey Speaks
We’ve shown pictures and videos of Bogey so you see what she looks and how she loves. But have you ever HEARD Bogey? Animals have distinct tones/inflections just like people. Put your sound on/volume up and take a listen. This is what Bogey’s “voice” sounds like. If you hear or see Bogey, please call 703-596-9296.
Merry Christmas! While NORAD is tracking Santa tonight, Sam and Abbey are busy tracking Bogey. Positive scent was confirmed along the Fairfax County Parkway. ❤️🎁🤞🏻
Happy Holidays
Here's a holiday message from Bogey's mom and (adopted) sister, Annie and Cassie, along with information on yesterday's sighting in #FairfaxCounty. Report any sighting information to 703-596-9296 immediately. Thank you again for all you continue to do to help us bring Bogey home. #FFX #FFXCTY #LostDog
Bogey Opening Presents
Everyone LOVES opening presents during the holidays, especially Bogey! Check out this video from 2019 and look how SMART she is. We hope you enjoy the footage, courtesy of Annie. As a reminder, please remain watchful Fairfax County friends and report any potential sighting information to Annie at 703-596-9296. Thank you.
Bogey Takes the High Road
Bogey typically likes adventure (as you know), but take a look at this video where she clearly does not want to get her paws wet! The other dogs on the pack walk had no problems crossing through the water, but Bogey took the high road. Another theory is that Bogey was showing her loyalty to Annie, not wanting her mom to walk on the pylons without her. ❤️
