Video and photos from yesterday’s rescue of Tom. This was one epic rescue!! In the one image in this video you can see the drain and deep down is little Tom’s bum. He was about 6m in from where our team were working. #searchandrescue #k9unit #cat #cats #catlover #catlife #catlovers #cats_of_world #pet #petlovers #petlover #animallovers #happy
Not our win but one for the record books!
This morning we were out looking for this special dog and we were certain she was in Diepsloot. The amazing team at The Dogs Trust went into Diepsloot and with their informants found her.
Please please donate to Dogs Trust, they deserve so much praise and reward for this miracle.
Thank you to Lee and her team for once again helping when needed.
Remember Charlie who we helped bring home this week? Here he is answering to his granny when asked where he had been. 🥰

🐕 Seuntjie reunited with his family 🐕
4 searches and 4 finds for K9 Zizou! K9 Zizou had another stunning walk up find. This girl is incredible and keeps proving herself time and time again. Well done to Z for reuniting Seuntjie with his family in under 20min. Z tracked beautifully straight to the house where he was. Despite social media and what’s apps, the family had no joy so called us in.
Tomorrow we will do a post where the family tells more about this incredible search.

🐾 REUNITED 🐾
Apollo got out along with one of his siblings when their house was broken into. Robbers smashed and broke their way into the family home. One of the 3 dogs was found hiding in the home, one found running on the roads and Apollo nowhere to be seen.
We were called out and got there within hours of the search being confirmed, picking the right dog for the job - in this case, Zizou. After getting the briefing, Zizou was given scent and ruled the other 2 dogs out, after which she started her track.
As we came to certain spots, Apollo’s mom commented that there were sightings of him that had been there so we knew we were on his tracks! As the sun set, we continued on, following Zizou. Zizou led us to Germiston Country Club where she started pulling insanely hard! After a quick break and after getting permission to search the course, we continued.
Right near the Eskom side of the course we came across very thick bush where Zizou strained against her harness. The hard decision was made to return in the morning as we were 2 women in a not so safe area and despite having torches, a non-lethal pistol and Zizou, it was most certainly not safe.
Walking back to the house was hard!!! Apollo was under our noses. Arrangements were made to return the next morning. Mom and Dad were eager and went out searching before we got there and… Zizou was right! Apollo was found and recovered. Thank you to Zizou for showing us where he was 🥰
We have checked in and he is traumatized but ok. All 3 dogs will be given plenty TLC to help them recover from the trauma they went through.

🐈⬛ Adventure Cat Returns 🐈⬛
The first pic of this video is one of what we were sent so when we arrived for the search, we were shocked to see him home! Um… no… Yoshi was still missing. Yoshi has an identical twin!!! 😳
K9 Cairo was brought out for the search and scented on Yoshi’s favorite spot and unlike us, he had no doubt that the brother was not Yoshi. He looked at the brother, shook himself off and got to work. Cairo is fun to watch as he is young but so darn clear! He has incredible genetics (included in his genetics is a 3x world tracking champ, a national tracking champ (his mom) and much more!!) and those amazing genetics show in his work!!! 🥰
Cairo showed off and took us to a construction site at the back end of Cedar Lakes but we could not gain access. 😢 we don’t give up. We got mom to set up a feeding station on their side of the fence to lure him out. In the meantime we planned on gaining access. Yoshi was there and he was coming home, we were going to get him one way or another.
Before we could even contact one of our followers who lives in Cedar Lakes, we got the news that the feeding station had worked!! Yoshi was home safe.
Yoshi and his twin are together again. Thank you K9 Cairo for showing us where he was and for his mom for trusting us to help you. 🥰 #love #photo #happy #cute #smile #best #of #bestoftheday #dog #cat #cat #catstagram #family #video #beautiful #summer #malinois
🐈⬛ Stealthy, nervous Puma returns home. 🐈⬛
Puma is one of 6 very loved animals in the home and is more of an indoor cat than an adventurous cat. However, he decided to go exploring and got a little disoriented and we were called in. Knowing time is of the essence with searches, we got out asap.
Our team led the family to an area with strong scent and a plan of action was made. We were going to return today but, happily we got a message saying the plan worked and Puma as safe and home.
Big hugs and cuddles from us to his family 🥰

😻 A Cat named Mr Rat 🐀
The very loved Mr Rat went missing and we got out there to search. Axl tracked him to a green belt 🌲and we advised on how to lure him home but after a few days Mr Rat was not coming home so Blue (aka Blob) went out and tracked to the same green belt and we spotted him entering a drain. There were other cats around but we decided to do a feeding station in 2 drains. It worked!!
Mr Rat 🐀 the cat is home with his amazing family and won’t be allowed to adventure much going forward.

🐈 Welcome home Munchkin 🐈
🐈 Welcome home Munchkin 🐈
🐈 Welcome home Munchkin 🐈
On Monday K9 Cairo went out to find Munchkin who went missing a few days prior. He indicated strongly on an area and his mom was advised on what to do to lure him out. Munchkin however didn’t like the idea of Cairo busting him and popped his head out not long after we left and was spotted by a neighbor who called his mom. He is now safely home and enjoying loads of cuddles!!

Happy Friday!!
We apologize for our being so quiet but we took a little social media break whilst not only dealing with the negatives but also lots of good.
We have had some cool finds (which we will post about soon), been building a website, training dogs and handlers, building a very awesome cottage and… planning a wedding!
Below are some snippets from the walks we have done this week on our farm…
🐈⬛ FOUND HIDING IN A DRAIN 🐕
Cleo is very much a house cat so her mom got worried when she could not find her. K9 Blob was called in to search and he made fast work of finding her!!
Despite the proximity to the house, we opted to open the drain and put out a trap as there is also a feral in the drain who we want to catch and take to a vet (maybe he is a lost pet!).
It took a bit of time but Cleo was spotted by a neighbor as Cleo came out the drain. We suspect she got in the drain but could not get out at that point due to the narrow opening. Us identifying where she was and then opening the drain helped her come out.
She is safely in her house and is definitely grounded!!!

🥰 Young malinois finds older malinois 🥰
Whilst one team was tucking into searching for Tucker, our other team was out searching for Sassy. Our senior girly, Hayley, picked up scent and tracked Sassy until it got too late on Monday. The team went out again yesterday with our youngest girl, Peanut. Peanut took scent and headed in the same direction that Hayley took. The owners got excited because they could see Peanut was clearly on scent and from her indications they knew they were close.
Then it happened: their phone started pinging wildly!! Sassy’s itag was in range. Then they saw her!!! Peanut had led them to Sassy.
Sassy was found by Missing Animal Response Network Trainee K9 Peanut!!!! Mali found by a mali. 💕
Peanut and Hayley: we are proud of you. Thank you girls. Steak tonight.
Sassy: we are sending big hugs and will come bring some spoils for you on the weekend!!
