UPDATE:  5/2/2012

Massimo is back with his legal owner, that's all I am at liberty to say at this time

Our Statement 

Due to the amount of times Massimo has escaped and the owners not taking our advice to secure their property, we feel its only a matter of time before something tragic happens to this sweet dog and can no longer answer their requests to search for him in the future

STACKER 3/10/2012

While out working today we got a call from one of our friends and neighbors, Carla, about a loose pit bull that got into another neighbors yard. The neighbor whose yard the dog was trapped in had called the police. When the police arrived they wanted to call animal control but Carla was smart enough to tell them she knew the owners just to avoid the dog going to the shelter and called us. We took the dog home and after several calls back and forth were able to find the owners of Stacker who came and got him. Good work Carla for your fast thinking and from saving Stacker and his owners the stress and money of having him sheltered.

SCOOTER

Scooter, dug his way out from under a fence from the 200 block of Birch La. in Forked River 3/12/22012 at around 10pm. He was seen in the Game Farm area, then again on the corner of Juniper Lane and Sunset Blvd., but he ran both times. He is a rescued laboratory retiree, and is very, very scared of everything! If seen please call:

Roxanne, his owner, I got a call at around 6pm on 3/16/2012 that Scooter was in the wooded area behind Shoprite. The woman that called said she and her husband were in the parking lot of St. Pius Church and they saw him there. She recognized him from the article in the Lacey Patch and told her husband that was Scooter. He chased after him, which sent Scooter down the path... between St. Pius & Shoprite - WHICH IS FENCED IN ON BOTH SIDES!!! Scooter ran off the path into the woods, but I guess he couldn't go anywhere because of the fence. The man just waited on the path and heard his collar jingling, and all of a sudden Scooter popped out again, but as soon as he saw the man, he ran back in. In the meantime, I was on my way. I got there and the man told me where he saw Scooter. I started walking in with Abby, Beth, & Mackey (our other dog) and saw him! But he turned and ran. We were headed back out to the path, because I was going to go back to my car to get the trap. Suddenly I heard his collar jingling, so I told the girls to just sit down and all 4 of us (Mackey included) just sat in the dirt. He saw us and stopped for a minute, then slowly started coming towards us. I told Abby to shake the container of dog biscuits, which is what we do when he's coming in from the backyard. I told the girls NOT TO MOVE OR MAKE A SOUND! I asked him if he wanted a cookie, and he kept coming over, more towards Mackey. Mackey was next to me, so as soon as Scooter got close enough, I grabbed him! He didn't even try to squirm away! I couldn't stop kissing and hugging him!!! I hooked him to a leash and we started walking back to the car, where we were met by Scooter's Paparazzi!!! People were stopping their cars yelling, "You got him??"! It was absolutely amazing! I called the couple who led me to him and offered them a reward, but they refused. They said they have a beagle of their own and understand just how hard this must have been. Thank you so very, very much to each and every one of you who searched, prayed, offered help in other ways, or just supported us along the way. And a special thank you to the anonymous couple who ultimately led to Scooter's homecoming. I appreciate it more than you'll ever now. ♥

MAYA

on 3/29/2012 we answered a email that we received to find a home for a 10 Month old American Bulldog that went by the name of Isabel. We talked to one of our neighbors that has been looking for a puppy that matched his family's energy levels and Isabel was a perfect match. She is now re-named Maya and bonded with the family immediately. We wish Maya and her new family many years of health and happiness and I Lost My Dog is happy we were able to  unite them together.

ONE EYED JACK

on 4/4/2012 on our way to walk our dogs we spotted this little Chihuahua mix walking down the street. When Debbie approached him he came running to her. Some of the information on his collar was wrong and we were unable to return him to his  home so we put him in our newly built dog kennel.  We called the police and Animal Control to see if anyone reported him missing but no one did. Just as the police officer arrived One Eyed Jacks owner showed up and Jack went back home with a happy look on his face. Great job Debbie!

TANK

On 5/9/2012 while doing a pet sitting job, I opened the door on the van and in popped Tank. He came out of nowhere jumped into the van and on my lap and started licking my face. Debbie went into the house to take care of the pets we we were hired to do. I stood outside with Tank waiting for his owner to show up. After about 20 minutes I called to police to see if anyone reported a missing dog they said no and took the information and after another 10 minutes Tanks owner showed up to claim him. He did not have tags on and was happy to be reunited with his owners.

3 Little Kittens:

On Friday 9/21/2012 We received a call from a woman in Holiday City stating that someone trapped several stray cats from her neighborhood and gave them to Berkeley Animal Control but they didn't realize that one of the strays was a new mother of 3 kittens that were left behind. The woman was afraid that the kittens were only a few weeks old and would die if someone didn't attend to their needs so we responded to her call. We do not know how she got our number but said that she had heard we do dog rescues and could we help. Needless to say we now have the 4 week old kittens and will hold onto them till they are old enough to be on their own and then we will find a forever home for them. We took the kittens over to Forked River Animal Hosp. to Dr. Force who is always there for us and except for some fleas all 3 are in great health.

Houdini: 2/5/2013

 Formerly known as Bully, a Rat Terrier mix who is 7 Months old, has a sad story. Bully was owned by a young girl in maybe her mid 20's with 2 small children that just lost her husband this November. Bully was in the back yard and he managed to dig his way out, under a fence to go on a little adventure. Since I posted the original story on January 8th 2012, Bully has gotten out 2 more times. We asked Bullies owner to sign him over to us and we changed his name to Houdini who is now up for adoption to the right owner. I cannot even begin to tell you how sweet a boy Houdini is but he absolutely needs to be in an active environment, If interested please get in touch with us.
