Sandy is safe after a few weeks on the run in Baltimore![]()
![]()
Cockyy Carter saw her behind a dollar general on Belair road a couple of days ago and tried to get her to come with treats and using calming signals (great job Cockyy!!)![]()
![]()
They got in touch with us Lost Animal Resource Group - LARG and we brought a trap immediately. She was hanging out behind the store and after talking with some locals, they said she had been there a few weeks😞![]()
![]()
Unfortunately we didn’t see ANY lost pet posts or any posters at all for this lost, sweet, beautiful girl. Not sure why 😞![]()
![]()
We set the trap with rotisserie chicken and waited, she ran away from her safe spot behind the wall of the dollar general when someone approached her.![]()
![]()
I waited in the parking lot with the camera watching everything and saw that after a few minutes she smelled the food and was at the trap.![]()
![]()
A few more minutes and she was in the trap. As I approached she was nervous but thankful that she didn’t have to run anymore. I got her and the trap back into the car and headed home, so happy she was safe. ![]()
![]()
She was still anxious being in a new situation but quickly warmed up to me and when I held her, she grabbed onto me with her paws, not wanting to let go. Not sure how safe the previous home was but something was a little off. ![]()
![]()
She is resting on my lap, relaxing knowing she is safe.![]()
![]()
I scanned for a chip and called the family who after learning that her leg was injured wanted me to drop her off at BARCS Animal Shelter , not sure why 😞![]()
![]()
She is the sweetest girl who just wants to be loved and be in my lap, hugging me, I can’t understand what family wouldn’t do anything to get her back. ![]()
![]()
Hopefully everything will work out for this sweet girl who just wants to be loved and would give everything back to a family that really loved her![]()

Check in with BARCS for updates![]()

Oscar is safe and back at the rescue after a 5 day adventure in Chevy Chase, MD![]()
![]()
his foster took him out to potty and he immediately slipped out of his collar and took off after only 12 hours in the house. He came from a hoarding situation so he was very skittish. Unfortunately there were many people out searching but thankfully he stayed in the area.![]()
![]()
We started coaching about posters and the feeding station but knew a trap would be needed.![]()
![]()
Then a neighbor saw him twice in her backyard but he ran scared through the fence. ![]()
![]()
We brought the trap and camera and setup on her back porch and baited with Royal Farms chicken and liquid smoke. No sign of him at the trap for several days but the foster kept putting fresh food and LS at the trap. There were sightings at several houses within a block or two of the trap so we were hoping he would return.![]()
![]()
With fresh food, we were hoping for some good news and it came early this morning! Oscar was at the trap!! He checked the trap out and finally decided to go in for the food. I rushed down to get him inside and he was very sweet knowing he was safe.![]()
![]()
Thanks to the foster for being diligent for the trap. ![]()
![]()
Oscar is back with Small Miracles Cat and Dog Rescue and will be available at some point to foster or adopt. He is so cute and sweet and would make a wonderful companion for any family. ![]()

When your pet goes missing, you need honest, ethical help, dedicated to bringing your pet home.
Good evening everyone, Bob here! ![]()
![]()
I wanted to apologize if I’ve missed any text or fb messages or requests especially lately. I think I have missed a few texts or messages asking for help, so please reach out again if I/we haven’t responded.![]()
![]()
Denise B Harris and I, and all of our friends and volunteers at Lost Animal Resource Group - LARG, are overwhelmed with the amount of lost pets, especially lately.![]()
![]()
I also wanted to kind of let everyone know a little bit about who I am, including rescue. ![]()
![]()
I have an IT company I need to grow back up because the stupid shut downs caused us to lose a good portion of business. If you or someone you know needs excellent IT support, please let us know at www.totaltechmd.com or Total Technology Solutions. So, yes I have a full time stressful job as a business owner struggling to survive. We do amazing work and would love to help fix your IT issues or help bring you into the 21st century to streamline and reduce costs. ![]()

My wife and I have some family issues that we are dealing with due to our aging amazing family members that also take a good bit of our time, but family is more important than anything. We value our friends and volunteers so much; we can’t do this without you. ![]()
![]()
Denise and I trap, coach, help as many families as we can but there are more families needing help than we can manage, which is where volunteers step up.![]()
![]()
But we do need more help, especially with trapping which is difficult because it means going out at 2am to recover a lost pet! But we’re happy to accept any help at all. ![]()
![]()
If you are able to help and volunteer, please visit www.largcares.org/contact. ![]()
We would love the help 🐾![]()
![]()
Please know that if you have a lost pet or see a stray animal, we will do our best to help with limited resources but we care more about the animal than we do about EGO or GREED or DRAMA that many like to push. ![]()

📣 Baltimore MD - Gracie's six week adventure is over! 🙌🏼🙌🏼![]()
![]()
Lisa had a minor car accident late at night on 2/9/24, and when the officer opened the door to check on her, sweet Gracie escaped in a panic, pulling out of her collar‼️ ![]()
Away she ran across the highway, and Lisa lost sight of her in the dark.🙁![]()
![]()
Lisa contacted LARG, and Denise began coaching her with our best practices. Gracie was looking for her, and she would likely stay near the accident site where they were last together. ![]()
![]()
Lisa left some scent items from home along with food in a quiet safe spot nearby. She posted flyers & spread the word on social media.![]()
![]()
After some time passed with no sightings, Bob & K9 Carly were ready to track! K9Carly tracked along the fence by Interstate 83 but then the terrain was too difficult to navigate, so they stopped after a mile and a half and gave Lisa a direction of travel and area to focus on. There was enough evidence to assure that she was still around there, and more flyers were posted. ![]()
![]()
Sarah & Kurt live very close to the end of the track Bob & Carly did--they saw a dog on their ring cam and posted it on social media.![]()
Immediately the connection was made--that's GRACIE! 🙌🏼![]()
![]()
They saw her a couple of times, and we went out & placed the trap with yummy food. Locked open at first to make sure she'd go in easily & eat.![]()
Success - she was a fan of the chicken & cheese! ![]()
![]()
The trap went live last night, with scent from home, Royal Farms chicken, and cheese. At 4:30am, sweet Gracie showed up hungry, went straight in, and her 6️⃣ week walkabout was OVER! ![]()
![]()
From now on, Gracie and her 2 fur-siblings will be TETHERED when traveling! It only takes a split second for a fearful pet to get away 🚨![]()
![]()
✨SO MUCH thanks going out to Sarah & Kurt, and to Gracie's mom Lisa who did everything as advised.![]()

Lost Pet Searches - Tracking
NOT a LARG service! Tracking provided by our valuable Resources and others that have been professionally trained. These ethical trackers have gone through rigorous training WITH their dogs.
Humane Trapping
Humane trapping involves getting sightings through posters and social media, then setting feeding stations and cameras and then a humane trap for those animals that can’t be brought home through TRUST.
Foster & Adoption Services
You can find a great foster pet or adopt a pet from local rescue groups in your area. Please consider rescue for your next furry family member!
