I'd like to vent about something....

Most missing pets are due to irresponsible owners.

Note : Offense is taken not given

Why is your pet not sterilized?

Why is your pet not microchipped?

If you are aware that your pet can escape your property, why have you not done something about it?

If you adopt / rescue a animal, why are you not involving a professional? You think you can rehabilitate that animal yourself without the assistance of a pro? Why?

You adopt a nervous dog, dog bolts out of fear, here we go again.

The majority of tracks we do for missing pets could have been avoided if the owner took responsibility.

It's really sad, those pets rely on you and you let them down by avoiding certain measurements.

For ex, we go out and track a pet one day, fence is down and broken and and and.... Owners openly admit, their dogs play around in the lands and escape the property, yet it's OKAY because they always come back? How is this okay? If your pet is getting out, do something about it.

Why wait for it to end up being a missing report before you act responsible?

If you have a fearful dog, do something about it! Contact me Clarice_k9 trainer and let's help your dog, if your dog freaks out over thunder and fireworks, then help your dog by doing sensory stimulus, desensitization, confidence building, try other methods etc. There are professionals out there for a reason, don't rely off Facebook t***s and Google either.

If your dog runs out of open gates, train it. If your dog has never been on a outing, don't do it without a professional, if your dog can jump walls, make it higher.... These are all reasons as to how some pets got out in the first place.

Can we please go into 2024 being more responsible???

Rant over.

Yesterday we traveled over 600km to go track Mimi in Bothaville, a little Yorkie ♀️ who escaped her property.

Nicklaus kept leading us to a dense bush veld close to the house.

No one has spotted her yet either, we found spoor and signs of her leading to the veld, unfortunately we couldn't search the whole area as it is just too big and wide, the temperatures we were tracking in was over 35°C +

Please keep a lookout for her, the veld is less than 2km away from suburban area too.

Lots of people scamming the owners regarding the reward, people are really sick sometimes.

We tracked a second time for Tiekie, he's definitely still active within the area.

A trap is now being set up to try catch him 🤞🏻

Nicklaus tracked us to the same area from the first track, this time he wanted to go past the fence, once we lifted him over and continued we found that we couldn't go further than where the quarry was, it's too dangerous and the ground is loose.

We also found X2 300mm concrete water pipes that show active movement going in and out, which also means Tiekie has access to water.

We're really hoping to catch him as he seems to be hanging around this area.

We recently tracked for Skylar, who went missing on 25 July 2023

⚠️ AREA SURROUNDING ERASMUS ROAD, WIERDAPARK, CENTURION ⚠️

Siamese ♀️
Sterilized ✅
Microchipped ✅
Unfortunately she doesn't have a collar on.

She was deliberately picked up by the neighbors, loaded into their car, and been dumped somewhere close by. The estate has CCTV footage of this, the case has been dismissed through the SAPS due to the situation being of "non value"...... Absolutely disgusting!

She's been spotted thankfully, which assisted in helping us track her scent and having a starting point.

Nicklaus tracked all the way into a premises with abandoned vehicles, we found lots of active spoor and endless possibilities of hiding spots.

A trap has been set up to try and catch her, only issue is, there are also many ferals active in the area.

Please keep a lookout for her, if you spot her, please call 082 375 1155 immediately with a location 🙏🏻

PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE

⚠️TRACKING IS ON HOLD⚠️ for a bit, unfortunately I was in a car accident yesterday.

Thank you for understanding

We recently tracked for Tiekie, he bolted out of the property around 15-18 August, children were upsetting him and he decided he no longer felt safe.

Tiekie is a 14 year old senior ♂️
Sterilized ✅

He is very shy and nervous of unfamiliar people.

AREA : Poortsig street, East Lynne, Pretoria.

Please share and keep a lookout for him 😢

We tracked up into the mountains behind the clients house, found some stool, spoor, and Nicklaus indicated on a few spots, unfortunately the scent trail wasn't as strong as we needed it to be, cats are very challenging to track down due to how agile they are and how they climb and jump things, which means there's always a break in the trail.

Please please please share 🙏🏻

Yesterday we tracked for Sebastian in Alberton.

Nicklaus indicated on his scent more than once between 2 streets, problem is, all the houses in between the 2 streets, we suspect Sebastian is jumping walls in between the properties and hiding somewhere during the day, please please please keep a eye open for him 🙏

Copy is home ❤️

Sorry for the delay in posts, I've been so crazy busy with my training business and and and

After successful footage of Copy being active and very very close to home, a trap was setup, before even making use of the trap, Copy slipped into the house and my client was able to close the door fast enough to trap Copy, she is now on her way overseas with her Mommy to their new life ❤️❤️❤️

So happy for them and that we could assist, Copy also has a friend, Copy and Paste 🙀 Coolest names ever for these 2 kitties.

Safe travels to the family and furry kids ✈️

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Funny how people are quick to give up their pets but will take their human kids everywhere....

They should be on the same level of commitment. Not less.

Don't get one if you're not willing to pay the costs of immigrating, or vet bills, or for Trainers and Behaviorist, don't complain if you get a pet that you're not familiar with and you didn't make the effort to educate yourself on it either. For example, don't get a hound breed if you don't want a vocal dog with a high prey drive. Don't get a husky if you live on a small property, I can give so many reasons as to why you should do research on the pet you want, whether it be a snake or a cat or bird or a dog.

Be prepared financially, be committed, your pet deserves your loyalty because you brought them into your life!!!!!!! You made that choice, now commit to it.

I am so tired of people coming to me to rehome their pets for the most pathetic reasons!!!!

It's disgusting.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES

It's too easy to dump a pet today. It's too easy to go to a shelter and make up some sob story and leave your pet behind. It's too easy to buy a puppy or kitten online and then dump it when they old.

It needs to change.

On Tuesday we tracked for Copy. Her scent was very strong around the storm drain tunnel, she also knows where home is, she's been home more than once now.

We advised our client to buy a trail camera and leave it on certain spots, she then put it by her front door, outside, and caught Copy on camera, so now we're going to setup a trap for her and try capture her.

Copy started with this new strange behavior due to her owner leaving the country for a few days, started stressing obviously and decided her home doesn't feel safe, her owner is also in the process of immigrating, so boxes being packed and major routine changes also brought this on unfortunately.

Their flights are ready to be booked and everything has been done to prepare them, now we just need to catch Copy so she can leave with her family 🐱

RIP BIX ❤️ :(

We went out today to go track this little girl, before we start a track, we inspect the property, on one side of this property, there's NO chance she could have escaped.

We then went around to the backyard, as soon as I saw the pool I asked the owner if they checked under the pool cover, as he approached the pool he looked down and immediately turned to face me, I saw his face drop and I knew :(

I asked him to go get something for me to wrap her in, I pulled this little girl out from the weir basket, and wrapped her up :( the cap that seals this hole was off unfortunately, not sure how, as owners were very pedantic about safety, in a great way, had double gates to stop her from getting to the front, all small gaps were accommodated for, the cap was always on and the pool cover is tight to the ground, no dog could slip under even with force.

My condolences to the family and their furry kids 💕

Rest in peace BIX ❤️❤️❤️

We recently tracked for Pharaoh, a beautiful Bengal ♂️ cat.

He is sterilized ✅
He is microchipped ✅

⚠️ R1 000 REWARD ⚠️

Pharaoh and his sister stay together with their human parents in Riverglades Estate, Jukskei Park.

Pharaoh is currently in his teenage phase and decided to walk off and explore, he came back home covered in blackjacks
(which are not common in the estate, it's super green and well maintained)

He then walked off again, but now it's been 9 days already.

From the way Nicklaus ran the track, we now have an idea of where he is, he has gone outside of the estate, into bush area with a river running through, it's not even 5km from his home.

It's super dense and easy to move through, for a cat, but not for a dog, Nicklaus couldn't get past a certain point anymore due to cacti and thorn bush.

Owners will be setting up feeding stations in some areas that we marked, hopefully Pharaoh gets over his naughty phase and goes back home.

He definitely isn't with someone, won't be easy to spot him in public due to the area he's active in.

Please SHARE and keep a eye open for him.

Today we tracked for Finley, she is a mix breed, sterilized, her collar was found in the yard, wasn't able to slip off by itself without force, she's timid yet friendly enough to approach.

PRETORIA, MORELETA PARK

Missing since 13 May 2023.

We need a positive sighting of her as we've covered many different areas and unfortunately the track is cold either way. The area has also had a lot of rain and the ground is still very wet which makes it more challenging environmentally...

The problem is, the 1 direction she could have gone, opens up into large veld, which eventually leads to rural areas.

⚠️ PLEASE SHARE AND SHARE AND SHARE ⚠️

The faster we have a sighting, the faster we can find her.

Thank you Rex Specs for Nicklaus's new goggles 💯

(Check previous post on WHY these were so important to get for Klaus)

Because of these specs, Klaus can comfortably work in sunlight without his eyes taking strain, he has 3 different lenses to choose from 😍 How cool is that!

Good morning 🐶

Unfortunately all tracking is on hold until Nicklaus goes to his eye appointment with the eye specialist in JHB this week.

He somehow ran into something and now has a hemorrhage in his eye which needs to be checked out asap.

I apologize for any inconvenience, his health comes first 😊❤️

Thanks for understanding

This morning early we did a tracking session for a cat named Mugs who's been gone for 8 months now, my client just wanted some clarity and to see if he is still in the area

We covered each corner and direction and no luck, unfortunately Nicklaus couldn't locate any scent that indicates Mugs is in the area or within a 15-20km range

Please keep sharing as we don't want to give up hope and anything is possible 🙏🏻

Does someone maybe have him? Has he been seen recently?

This morning early we did a tracking session to help find Goldie, we were 5km in when Nicklaus started indicating that the trail suddenly stops in a cul-de-sac which means the scent has been lifted off the ground which indicates someone has him.

Please share far and wide

First rule when having a pet - BE A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER ✅

Ensure there's no way your pet can exit the premises, always have your pets microchipped, sterilize your animals when of age, ensure a pet collar or chain to be worn at all times with a tag that contains info like pet name or cell phone number or address.

Training is necessary with dogs, recall, gate boundaries, etc.

Your pet is in your hands, they can't fend for themselves!

Every day hundreds of pets go missing from their homes. But they need not remain lost. In fact over 90% of lost dogs and over 70% or lost cats are returned home alive. Around 20% return home on their own.

There are some things that you can do to minimise the risk of your pet going missing, or to increase the chances of them returning home safely if the dreaded does happen to you and your fur child.

🐾 Make sure your pet is micro-chipped, and that it is tested regularly with your vet. Chips have been known to shift in position over time. (https://bit.ly/DnCMicroChip)
🐾 Make sure your pet has clear identification, with up-to-date contact details. (https://bit.ly/DnCTags)
🐾 Always make sure that your pet is securely leashed when out and about. This includes when you are in a vehicle. Many pets have escaped and gone missing after accidents, as they were not secure in the vehicle.
🐾 Make sure that you have strong basic and recall commands with your pet if you frequent off-leash facilities. (https://bit.ly/DnCOffLeash)
🐾 Having a safe size appropriate enclosed yard is vital. Check and maintain the enclosure frequently. Train your pet not to wander or escape, if the opportunity does present itself. Practice this training often.
🐾 Should your pet go missing, reach out as soon as possible to neighbours, community chats, vets, shelters, and organisations such as Hound Missing Pet Search Team, or trainer. Quick action could save your pets life.

Yesterday we tracked around 9km for Sally, unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

Sally is a senior doggy, who's never walked away before, sightings of her have been seen in the area we tracked in, Nicklaus found scent around 1 location that had a positive sighting, but not around the other location.

We are waiting for a positive sighting now to continue the search.

These areas have also had a lot of rain which makes the situation a bit more challenging.

Please share FAR and WIDE and keep a lookout for her
