Need Prayers too!
If any licensed rescues locally want to help with this hot mess let us know by private message or get with mama by text, 573-275-7039 or her personal FB. MAC’S MISSION IS NOT ABLE TO TAKE ANY OF THEM. We are only trying to help a local officer find placement after an elderly woman passed away in her home this past saturday and was found today. This is a super sad situation so absolutely zero negative comments. There is no information other than there is a bunch of them and they seem nice.
K thanks,
MagPie, rescue is exhausting and we need it to slow down for a hot minute folks, just so we can try to catch our breath here.

We had a little visitor this weekend...
Miss Lexi,
My granddaughter who helped get through some difficult times at the beginning of their rehabilitation...
And yes she did tie a lamb chop to her bumm 4 yrs ago to get them out of their shell.
I will have to look for that video and share it again! 🤣

It was an awesome day with a super cool visit from Slick N' Moo - Loose Greyhounds supporters that go way back to the beginning- They searched for the boys before they were even secure, and continued to support them coming to visit once or twice a year to see how the boys are doing!
And well, here they are! Four years later and still goofy... 🤪
The dogs, i mean 🤣
Thanks for coming ladies! We Love all of our sisters and brothers from the greyhound community who stepped up emotionally and financially for the boys welfare.
These 3 sweet ladies are from Greyhpund Expressions-
Tricia Steuwe, Sharon Bartle, and our friend and breeder Katie Steele💕

A quick hop down from the bed, dual yawns, dual stretches, lands us here...
Moo didnt have quite enough wakey to make it entirely.
GirlFred Can't figure out why they didn't make it off the porch 🥱🤔
08/07/2023
Finally! A cooler, quiet evening to get these boys moving🚀
So Funny - that's the same Kong Bunny tied to the same green rope, from 2019..
When they first came, we used it to "go fishing" and would drag it past their nose to teach them how to play 😁
I remember crying the first time I saw them play. When they didn't have to worry anymore about surviving and they weren't exhausted from constantly trying to find food and shelter. First tail wags were another milestone ~ when they finally realized they could just be puppies.🥰
I cry ALOT. 🤣😭

Here is the very first tidbit I saw regarding any loose dogs. And its very strange that I even saw it because it was shared by an unknown individual on YouTube and I never used that platform... some how I ended up staring at this on my screen... thats when I prayed "well God, SOMEBODY has to do SOMETHING to save him! what can one person do?" further investigation led to finding out there were originally 3 of them thought to be dumped here where this photo was taken at the River Rouge trailhead in Canton...

Happy Gotcha-Birthday to these very special Boys! I call it their birthday, becuz on this day, they both chose to enter the trap, leave the old life behind, and were born again into a life here with us....
and My, they have come a loooong way. I think they will always be who they are now. Still some quirky issues, but not really changing anymore. Its been a wild ride...
As an adopter of 3 retired racers at the time, it was never in my plan to keep them, but save them from getting hit and find them a home. Apparently this was not God’s plan, as He knew all along, that they were feral, and mistreated to say the least, and I did not. When one of the 3 loose hounds was hit by a car, I felt a nudge. I prayed and asked “God, why don’t you DO something???” So He sent me.
Now I didn’t know the first thing about trapping, so with a tip from friend Ellen Greenia, I sent a late night message to a stranger named Heather, asking for help. And so began my live trap training and a friendship was born. The rest is history and the entire transformation can be seen on this page, if you scroll all the way down, I created this page when they were still on the run.
For roughly 14 days I poured over game cam footage from feeding stations that had to be refreshed daily - at two separate locations- 1 in Wayne, 1 in Belleville. Not an easy task. My family deemed me MIA and thought I had lost my mind. Time was of the essence after they both finally latched on to our stations, we knew the local fireworks were starting that weekend. Not likely they would stick around within their radius, no matter how good our bait was. So with no time for a safety trial, we went live the day we dropped the traps. Man was that some serious adrenaline as Heather staked out Slicks trap at a house near the river rouge and I sat in anticipation of Moo by the dumpster off of the 94 service drive..
FFWD to midnight and both were secured safely on this very night, in 2 different cities, 4 years ago. Thank God, and so many of you helped with financing at the initial vet, and so many supplies came pouring in. When we realized immediately that they were terrified of people, my pack went from 3 to 5 overnight. We built a fortress around the property to contain them (man were they sly) and built an apartment for them in my garage. Another time crunch to gain their trust and acclimate them to the house before the cold fall weather… Thank you to everyone who helped. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. It definitely takes a village to do what we did.
Here is Slicks Gotcha moment! He must've been terrified, but our hotdogs made him forget. I will have to post the pics separately or in the comments. for some reason FB blocks posting 2 different formats. ugh!

Here is how Slick woke up the pack this morning...
🤷♀️😳
Yes, they are still cray cray! 🤪🤪

Pooped out after all that work inside the Cheetos bag...
It's been almost 4 yrs from when the Mooster was foraging in dumpsters and terrified of people.
I didn't expect him to still be here, as I had 3 retired racers and my intention was to "save" them and find them a home.
I guess I did...
With the help of all of you!
Moo says thank you
💙💙💙💙💙💙

Good Saturday morning to all!
Mom said she's sorry for slacking on the posts lately but there was so much carnage after 2 back-to-back Winter storms....
She's finally paying attention to us and feeding us again 🤣😛

Good morning SNM Family!
While we are here all snuggled in waiting for breakfast...
there seems to be another pup out there in the Livonia area.
We have limited information but if anyone knows anything about this please let us know so we can get he/she back to their couch where they belong 😢

Poor Slickers has some very large bald spots where there is no fur on his back at all...

Slickers feature:
I'm sure some don't understand the special needs of a neurotic and super anxious dog. Here is what it looks like when the Doctor Jekyll button is pushed. This is a multiple daily occurrence. The only way to combat it is to let him run it out as much as I can. Mr Hyde, as seen in the picture below is much calmer!
I believe this is why he was dumped because he was deemed unmanageable.

🤣🤣🤣🤣...
These two!

So Blessed.
Who would have ever saw this coming...

Where in the world is Moo? 👀
( I admit I have lost count of these episode numbers 🤣)

OK... We eventually HAD to take the plunge into the frigid - 11 wind.

Back inside now
Wheeew!

Good morning SNM Family! ☃️
We hope everyone is staying as warm as we are.
It's 5° outside with negative double digit wind chill ❄️❄️

Look what I just stumbled on !
Its the original video that someone posted that caught my attention (and fueled my obsession)
to DO something about the 3 loose Greyhounds
(one was reportedly hit by a car/deceased)
Warning. This is hard to watch , and brought tears to my eyes within seconds :(
I wish there was some way to contact this gentleman
who probably has no idea the chain of events that
his video sparked... and show him some footage of
the current state of these pups over 3 YEARS later!
Also, now that we know they will never leave here
(on 4 paws anyway) We can still use any drop ships
of treats, toys, heartworm prevention, etc...

Slick N’ Moo
***UPDATE:
So this is probably long overdue... but as you might imagine, I have been a little busy. I thought an update to the SNM story should be posted, now that they have been hear over 60 days in rehab/recovery. Some may be able to tell by the actual pic above, that the original calls coming in for “loose greyhounds” were slightly incorrect. Once they were recovered, they did not appear to be pure greyhounds at all, or retired racers (no tatoos or chips). Initial weights were 37 (Moo) and 36 lbs (Slick), and now at a healthy weight of 45 (Moo) & 50 lbs.(Slick). They both exibit a great deal of greyhound behaviors, so I am sure it is in their DNA somewhere. At this point, we assume they are are mixed with Whippet (or goat in Moo’s case). Also - Their mental status was not expected to be feral, so that was a surprise... but after working with them for 2 months I don’t feel they have been handled with kindness, or in a home environment at all. They were both extremely fearful of people of any demographic. Slowly but surely they are getting well. Please feel free to scroll to the very start of this page to follow their journey back to health and happiness. (Thank you to everyone who continues to support this effort as we nurture them back to a healthy mental state. God Bless!)
Original Story (June 6, 2019) : This is a quick page setup for 2 loose Greyhounds we have been tracking and hoping to trap on the Canton/Belleville border (Moo), and in Wayne (Slick). Moo is reported to look like our model Oreo (above), or Dory (in the Cover photo), and Slick is a blue/grey color as in the profile picture to the left (actual pic of Slick under a log). They were first reported to Canton Police around June 6th by a dog walker off the Lilly / Lower Rouge Trail in Canton. They have since parted ways... Moo hanging around south of Mich Ave down Morton Taylor Road nearer to Tyler, and Slick treveling along the river, has made his way into Wayne.
If you happen to be around those areas, PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO ENGAGE/CATCH these two. If you want to help, we need pics or videos of sightings and note the date and time. We are in the process of setting up feeding stations and getting them comfortable with a non- active trap near where they feed. This is a slow process. Stay tuned for progress.
PS. Anyone able to donate food for the cause of capturing and caring for these two (believed to be DUMPED) please send a message thru this page and I will reply. Thanks You to all of our supporters!
