Roaming Paws Lost Pet Services I help lost pets get back home through consultations, support & ongoing advice. Rental of equipment: traps & cameras. My goal is to reunite.

I volunteer in my community to help roaming/hard to capture dogs with no owners known to safety. I have training in Missing Animal Recovery, providing counseling to the families to conduct their own searches. I offer rental on humane traps, custom made Missy Trap for dogs; Clam and drop trap for cats. Wildlife cameras are also available. A search dog is not needed to locate a missing pet. It is wh

en families understand the expected behavior of a lost pet and follow the advice provided through the consultation, that the vast majority of pets are found and reunited with their family. Many more pets are recovered and reunited without a search dog than with them.

Do you recognize?
This dog has been roaming in Fife for about a week. Near 47th Ave and Pacific Hwy. Concerned neighbors were leaving food and water out for him, but were not able to confine him. A sighting post was made by Brayan and I contacted him to offer assistance. A second post was made on RING from Dana. In the comments a third neighbor, Michele responded that the dog was friendly and she was able to entice him into the yard, but when trying to secure he slipped out of the gate. I arranged to set a trap yesterday afternoon and did so. He usually showed up around 6 pm so I stayed in the area but went to grab some dinner. While eating scrolled through Facebook and saw a Pawboost Found Dog post and it was for the same dog!!
I made contact with Jen who posted and found out she was able to secure him (she is a seasoned dog trainer/ behaviorist). However, she could not keep him, but Michele's family was willing to hold and try foster while the search for his family is done. All found dog protocols will be followed. Please share and reach out if you recognize this sweet and now safe boy. Many thanks to this community for pulling together to help him. Well done everyone.

Just an awesome update on Benedict. The lab trapped in Puyallup after being on his own for atleast 4 months.
I had to stop in at the shelter today and asked how he was doing.
He was initially very frightened but has made great progress with the shelter staff and volunteer's care.
He is currently in Foster care. The only thing that could make me happier is if he gets a forever family soon.
My thanks to Pierce County Tacoma Humane Society staff and volunteers for all you do.
Good boy Benedict!

What an opportunity I had to participate in. I don't get involved in feral cat TNR.
I have so much respect for those that do.
Personally paying for food, altering and working tirelessly to find homes.
There was a growing colony with a dedicated and caring feeder.
A friend who is very experienced offered to try trap them for TNR.
This morning we got 12 cats successfully trapped. They will be altered, ear tipped. The feeder has already been advocating for their forever homes.
Within 90 minutes all but 2 were successfully trapped. We even got 2 cats in the one trap, twice! A double 2 for.
Transferring from traps into kennels went pretty smoothly.
Shortly after we left another one went in a trap so now only one more to go.
My thanks to the caring feeder and TNR trapper ( who chose to remain anonymous).
Not altering your pets leads to unnecessary suffering, illness and early death.
Getting kittens for free is a lie. It cost more to alter a pet privately, then paying an adoption fee at a shelter or rescue, which includes that.
Not getting your pet altered is irresponsible.

If you know a feral feeder or trapper. Please consider donating to them.

Missing in Nashville TN ~

Gray Baby went out of her home on Friday 10/24/25 and has not returned yet. She is 5 years old, about 11 lbs, very food motivated, has indoor and outdoor access. She was not wearing a collar or is chipped.
She was seen near home at River Dr and Roak Ave when she let outside in mid afternoon. She recently had dental surgery and was at the end of her antibiotic treatment. She seemed her usual self when she went missing.
Her family has already stated recovery efforts and neighbor notification and physical searching. We discussed the most effective steps moving forward and got a recovery plan of action in motion.
I realize this isn't local, but please share with people you may know in the area. Sometimes, it just takes on post share to reunite a family.

Do you recognize?
This sweet boy has had several sightings reported for atleast 10 weeks. Primarily seen near Meridian and 118th. Near Korum YMCA Puyallup South hill
We contacted Animal Control and got the go ahead to try capture.

We got a lead that he was hanging in senior living complex. In that area.

Many caring residents were leaving food.
Permission was given to set a feeding station. He stopped by and a trap was set.
At 1:00 am this morning he was captured. He is safe.
He was delivered to Metro Animal Shelter . Where we hope his owner will claim him.
Many thanks to our community for the tips and leads. Especially Tracy for taking on all aspects in the trapping. You did awesome!

Update time:
We trapped this girl in August after running for about 3 weeks near Waller and 84th. (Original link in comments) no one has come forward to claim her. She has been with her fosters since then. She had a skin condition going on that left a large patch of missing fur.

I got to see her yesterday, she has been renamed as Ginger.
What a huge difference in her. Her fur has grown back and is shining. She has learned commands and has settled well.
She is getting ready for a meet and greet soon with her possible forever family. Please send thoughts of support that it is the perfect fit for all.
Many thanks to Nichole and family for all the love, care, training that they have given to her.

Do you recognize?
We are calling him Benedict. One of the neighbors said he likes eggs Benedict. The background on this dog is unknown. What is known is the dog has been living on abandoned property near 152nd St e and Canyon in Puyallup for atleast 4 months. Several neighbors have been feeding and trying to bond with him. He jumps the fence with ease and has been going across the street to a construction site where the workers have been feeding and trying to gain his trust. All attempts by these people and multiple responses by PCAC weren't successful. I learned about this dog and offered to try help. A trap was set on Friday and this morning he chose the safety of the trap. He is being transferred to Tacoma Humane Society for scanning and check in.
It takes a village. But always it's the dog that's the hero. He made the choice to go in the trap.
Thank you to all involved in this recovery effort.
But I have to say our attempts were negatively impacted. Even with signs posted people left huge amounts of food yesterday directly beneath the do not feed trap has been set neon green florescent poster.
A post was made yesterday which gave away the location and site was compromised. If you see signs or know there is a recovery attempt in process. Please offer help but don't start your own efforts. Rescuers are usually volunteers that have other jobs. We have limited time to give in these hard to capture cases. Although people think they are helping by leaving food or trying to interact with the dog it almost always has a negative impact.
This guy is young. Seems to seek out humans, is playful carrying toys around. Now he is safe. My thanks to Amy who reached out to get this boy safely captured. Her post link is in comments. Thank you to Tracy, my nephews Kyle & Gavyn who assisted this morning.
Good Benedict go in trap. Gooooood boy.

Do you recognize?
This loose dog with no owner known is finally safe and will be arriving at Tacoma Humane Society.
She has been out for about 2 1/2 weeks in Parkland and Spanaway area.
First seen near C St and 138th in a small cul-de-sac, Diane made the first post. Animal Control had been out but she slipped away. I volunteered to get a trap set. Unfortunately it was Tuesday, the same night as the Thunder storm happened. It must have scared her as she moved. After 3 days of no show, the trap was removed.
On Saturday she was seen on Spanaway Loop and 134th. A post was made on Sunday and I was able to connect with Jerri the author. I explained that we had been trying to capture her and immediately she and her neighbor Carol jumped in on the rescue effort. Monday I got a text that the dog was in Carol's yard, she had fed her and gave her water. We set a trap within an hour.
She came back into the yard last night, dug around the trap and we believe she tripped the door without going in. This morning Carol put out food for her to try keep her in the fenced yard and it worked! They used the trap to block the hole in the fence and they safely contained her. She is safe and knew it, they were able to coax her into their home and hand feed her.
Animal Control transported her to Tacoma Humane Society. Where they will check for a chip. But please share her post and help her reunite with her family.
This recovery effort was met with nothing but wonderful people in the community. Diane, Elliot, The Pastor who allowed the trap, Jerri, Carol, her husband and Tracy. Each played a role in saving her. This is an example of what is right in the world.
