I hope you’re ready for a story that will give you the “good feels”. I am sitting next to Nicholas on the couch as I write this. He has been bathed, fed, and now getting rest. He was VERY happy to be home and to see the other dogs.
First off, I want to thank my husband , Clay Couvillon, for being everything and more to our chaotic zoo and family. He didn’t have to be determined to find Nicholas, but he was just as torn up over this as I was. He has been out there every single day, twice a day. Even suffering from horrible poison ivy. He was out there at 7 am this morning - we had been told by a couple of people yesterday that they saw a black and brown dog going down Kempwood St. We didn’t think it was him because we couldn’t imagine he would be out in the open but we didn’t have any other leads. So that’s where Clay started this morning, he searched for an hour with no sightings. But then got a phone call that Nicholas had been sighted in another area , so he took off running. He couldn’t get there fast enough so the guy who called actually came and picked Clay up! That’s going above and beyond for a stranger and a dog you don’t even know. The sad part is, he is actually looking for his dog as well. They followed Nicholas but Nicholas took off running full speed when he realized he was being followed. Clay couldn’t chase him because that would make him run even more and we wanted to keep him in the general area so eventually they lost sight of him.
We had friends and volunteers willing to rush out to start driving around to make sure we didn’t miss a possible sighting.
Nicholas isn’t a normal dog, he is semi-feral which is actually a whole lot better than he used to be. Being out there and terrified only put him back him back into his feral state of mind so even though he has lived with Clay for 8 months, he didn’t recognize him. He is not in the right state of mind and did not want to be near anybody. We didn’t know what to do. Lost again. Julia came rushing over and set up a trap at the last sighting.
I got there with two of our dogs and the last spot they saw him. We talked to waste management that was right there and a lady had actually seen him walking back north along the train tracks next to Hempstead so that’s the direction we went. I got to these woods (picture included), said it’s too damn hot for him to be out wandering anymore - those woods would be perfect. I even sent that pic to somebody right before so another trap could be set up. Lisa and Kelsey has just checked this area. I told Clay to go check the border around the empty lot and I would go into the woods with Rocko. I walked in there and said “Nicholas , it’s mama. I’m right here and I have Rocko with me.” And I swear to god y’all... he understood. Within a min, I heard movement and he came out and walked directly to us wagging his tail. I sobbed... oh man I sobbed.

Thank you to EVERYONE who even did a little part in this. From sharing our posts, to putting up fliers, to walking the bayous and streets, calling companies, calling shelters, passing out lost dog business cards, and driving the streets. The support was AMAZING and we will never forget how a village pulled together to help a dog they’ve never met. Nicholas wasn’t just a foster dog to us- he is part of us.
We never would have given up on him. NEVER. That just isn’t who we are. We don’t give up on any animal. I have never felt the type of sadness I felt knowing he was out there terrified and confused. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t think straight knowing that there was a chance that I might never see him again.

He had been missing for five days in the city. He is not a city dog. Because of his feral state of mind- he is a survivor, tough, and resilient. He is our Nicholas.

UPDATE:
Please check out the fb page to see the story on how we finally found Nicholas and was reunited.

I will post details when I get home.
Nicholas just needed his mama and one of his favorite brothers.
HE IS SAFE, MUDDY, EXHAUSTED, HUNGRY and headed home.

Nicholas was able to make his way through buildings and my husband lost sight of him. We are still out searching. If you can drive the 77055 zip code and surrounding areas. Keep your eyes open., he is sneaky and a runner. DO NOT CALL OUT TO HIM OR TRY APPROACHING. His magenta collar and brown leather leash ARE still attached.

NICHOLAS IS ALIVE.
We do not have him, he took off full running when my husband spotted him but we know he is alive! He tried to keep follow of him but he started running between buildings so we lost him. We will continue today. HE IS ALIVE.
Collar and leash still attached.

UPDATE:
Nicholas was found at noon on 7/4! He is safe AT HOME

Another night without Nicholas. With 4th of July being tomorrow , we will be searching in the early AM and in the evening before fireworks start. The yellow marked areas are the ones that we would like to focus on.
Clay will be out there at 7 am , he will have fliers and cards if anybody would like to help get the word out. We will be back out at 6 pm.
We want him back more than anything. I want him to know he hasn’t been forgotten about or abandoned. Here are the areas that need to be walked on foot and searched. Remember .. Nicholas will NOT be out in the open. He is semi-feral and in a feral state of mind so he will be hiding. The trees, bushes, tall grass, empty and dark areas is where he will be. You’ll have to look for shadows and movement in the lower areas.
If you do sight him- DO NOT call out of to him or approach. He will run and that’s the last thing we want. He was last sighted @ 8100 Blankenship dr. Houston, 77055. He took off running in the woods and we do not know which direction he went after that. The bayou system is extensive with many run off ditches. So he could literally be anywhere. We are choosing different areas where the bayou would have led to along with researching the same areas that have already been done. If you could spare a couple hours tomorrow , it would be GREATLY appreciated. We do have a tracker coming in for Monday evening but I am terrified for him being out there with the fireworks so want to exhaust all possibilities of finding him tomorrow.
Contact immediately with picture and location if sighted:
713-557-8373
832-233-2554
**CASH REWARD IF IT IS ACTUALLY NICHOLAS**

Hey Team, If you are posting or sharing, please copy and paste the following hashtags and place at the end of the intro or message. Appreciate you all!

These are AREAS in HOUSTON that we need help searching on foot. During the heat of the day is not the right time because most dogs will be hunkered down to stay cool. Evening is best between 7-9 pm. My husband was already out this morning for hours so if anybody is available to search one of these areas ALONG the bayou- please spare a couple of hours. Please wear long pants , sturdy shoes, and bug spray because the bayou is lined with tall grass and woods in most places- that’s why it would be a prime hiding spot for Nicholas. We do know he accessed the bayou but we do not know what direction he went. If you see a green space on the map- it’s worth searching! We also believe he could be around langwood park or the last area where he was sighted was 8100 Blankenship Dr. Houston, 77055.
If you are my hero and actually sight Nicholas - PLEASE DO NOT CALL OUT TO HIM OR APPROACH. He will run. We have darters on call to try and get him safely returned, we just need to know what area he is in.
Send a PICTURE WITH LOCATION to 713-557-8373 or 832-233-2554. Save a number so that you don’t have to search for it.
Nicholas was last seen wearing a magenta collar with a tag and a brown leather leash attached. He may or may not still have this on.
He is 1.5 years old, 55 lbs, neutered, and microchipped.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU ARE ABLE!

UPDATE: After missing for 5 days, Nicholas was found on 7/4 and is safe at home!

This guy right here. This is Nicholas’ foster dad. He didn’t even know Nicholas was joining our household in November but like always , he welcomed him. He won’t ever take credit for all he has done for our fosters and rescues. He is literally my right hand man, and I couldn’t do any of this without him. He goes the extra mile for them without ever looking for acknowledgment. I have seen him shed tears over Nicholas missing. He has ran as fast as he physically could on slanted concrete in a bayou to not lose sight of Nicholas. He was the last one to see Nicholas and his face popping out of the woods is haunting him.
When I got the call Nicholas got loose, Clay didn’t even hesitate. He ran straight out of the house. He searched for hours in the heat and the woods. He came home covered in poison ivy. He has been absolutely miserable with the poison ivy , nothing giving him relief but it has not stopped him from being out there everyday searching for Nicholas, passing out cards, and hanging up flyers in Houston. When he got the “fake” scam of someone telling us they found Nicholas, I’ve never seen someone get into a vehicle so fast. Even when I am not able to be there because of medical dogs here or our son, he is out there sweating. He loved Nicholas , he is the most caring man I’ve ever met. He invested himself into him because he knew Nicholas needed that. We don’t cut corners around here. He’s been understanding that this has taken a heavy toll on me. I can’t even pretend to be my normal self right now.
Nicholas... if you’re out there. Just know you have the best foster dad ever , he has not given up and neither will I.

If Nicholas is spotted- DO NOT APPROACH OR TALK TO HIM! He will RUN. Take a picture and send location to 713-557-8373 or 832-233-2554

He was last seen wearing a magenta collar with a tag, and a brown leather leash attached. He is 1.5 years old, 55 lbs, neutered, and microchipped.

We are thankful for friends who are taking the time to get the word out there. Many of who have never even met Nicholas. It’s the only way he has a chance of being found.
You can help us get the word out!

Lionel, Rocko, Liberty, Elsa, and Zoey have all participated in the search for their foster brother, Nicholas. He’s become a part of their pack.

03/07/2020

Clay and his buddy are in Houston putting up flyers! They could use all the help they can get. He will be there till about 10 am on 7/3. Please text him @ 832-233-2554 if you can meet up to grab some from him!
We need Nicholas’ face out there , we are having to rely on others to make a sighting because the area that he could be lost in is so huge.

03/07/2020

Nicholas’ foster dad will be in Houston at 8 am to do another search and continue posting up flyers. If you’d like to assist in handing out business cards and posting flyers- please let us know. Text Clay @ 832-233-2554. We need ALL the help we can get! We need Nicholas’ face to be recognizable all over Houston because we don’t have enough man power to canvas the whole bayou system in Houston. We have to rely on others making a sighting as well and hopefully doing the right thing by contacting us !

UPDATE: FOUND ON 7/4 and BACK HOME !

03/07/2020

Nicholas came to us from Hempstead Animal Pound in November 2019 as a feral teenage puppy. We worked hard with him on social skills and confidence, and watched him grow from a feral to a part of our family. He still had fears but not like before. Nicholas went to a temp foster on 6/18 when we went on vacation. Instead of leaving him home alone on 6/29, they decided to take him to their doggie daycare off Peg St. in Houston since he loves other dogs. However, Nicholas is still timid with other people and he got spooked when being handed off and he took off running full force. He immediately went back to his feral state of mind and ran for his life. He ran for hours down the bayou. The last sighting we have of him is on 6/29 @ 11:30 when my husband saw him poke his head out of the woods behind 8100 Blankenship Dr... then he was gone. He was wearing a tracker collar that unfortunately died but he should still have a collar , tag, and leash attached. Nicholas will NOT be out in the open. He will stay hidden because he will be terrified. He is not a city dog so he is not used to any of the surroundings and noises.
We can only assume he has stuck along the bayou system since there are so many sets of woods and hiding places plus access to water. I can only hope he is still alive out there for us to find him. We will be posting areas that have been searched and need to be searched. We have been out there daily , at different hours of the day with no luck.
