WONDERFUL UPDATE: Missy the dog control officer has just let me know that a Good Samaritan has captured the female and is holding on to her until Missy can pick her up this afternoon !!! πβ€οΈππΎTown of Poland Dog Control reached out for help in trapping these two dogs near Leach road ,Ellington NY. They have been staying together until last night when a homeowner starting shooting his gun off to scare them away.π‘ The male was seen today running in and out of busy traffic near Waterboro Hill Road and rt 394. The dog then crossed over the bridge and Good Samaritans were keeping an eye on it when Kim Cusimano and I arrived. I was able to get within 3 ft of the dog by tossing him rotisserie chicken however I couldn't get close enough for a leash so we put the box trap down in the yard and baited it up, he would go a little ways in and then back out finally he went all the way in but he stepped over the trip plate because I didn't have time to cover the whole bottom of the trap with grass like I normally do, so when he backed out of the Trap and I put some grass over the trip plate I was just about out of food... he had eaten almost everything we had a whole rotisserie chicken whole can of dog food I was on my last can of cat food. I baited the Trap up again he went all the way in still didn't step on the trip plate so I hurried around behind it and manually close the door on him he is now safe in Gerry New York at a boarding facility .We need sightings of the female though I'm not sure if she was shot or if she's just scared and hiding somewhere ,but something has happened to separate these two π’ Thank you Taylor Brainard for posting about these two pups. If anybody sees her in that area please call 716-397-2506 so we can try to get her trapped and safe as well. π
