📢Rosie is home and safe in Abingdon MD!!![]()
![]()
She broke through the fence a week ago and was on the run. Rosie was abused and extremely skittish. She was seen all around home and Hookers Mill area but would run as soon as she saw anyone. ![]()
With a few sightings they were very worried and reached out to Lost Animal Resource Group - LARG. We coached on posters and feeding stations. ![]()
![]()
The family were worried, and each time we didn't have a sighting for a few hours they reached out asking what they could do. And pretty much within an hour, there were new sightings - but it is so hard not knowing!![]()
![]()
Leigh Steindler Lina (a future volunteer) reached out to help and she was on board with the game plan. ![]()
![]()
Bob headed up to bring a camera for the feeding station and checked the area out, getting to know the area and where Rosie had been seen. There was a recent sighting in the woods, so we put the feeding station there. ![]()
![]()
Knowing Rosie was staying in the area and hoping she would show at the feeding station so we could trap, Jane Towery and Carol Miller saw her as they were returning from the store. ![]()
Believing there was no way anyone could approach her and knowing she was near home, here comes the miracle. ![]()

Pam Ford did an AMAZING JOB and was able to get Rosie into her home. Thank you so much Pam!! In her words:![]()

"I wanted to review how I found her because accidentally my instincts seemed to work and would like your input on whether they were generally right on wrong. I opened my back door to take my dog out and spooked a dog who appeared to be bedded down on my deck behind my grill. I grabbed my puppy and placed her in an expen that I had just inside the door and began talking quietly to the dog that turned out to be Rosie. I could see that see was fighting the desire to run so I backed away from the door slowly while still talking calmly and softly. Good girl. Good boy. Good dog. It's OK. Hoping for familiar words. (Would it have been better to remain silent?) I slowly backed away from the door which was wide open until she couldn't see me. I didn't see any signs of dog aggression so left my 11 week old pup in the expen right there. (Did the dog scent draw her in?) I continued talking softly and after about 5 minutes saw a nose poking into the house. Feet still outside. She saw me and withdrew. I didn't know if she was still there but backed further into the house, 2 rooms away so she couldn't see me even from the door. After another 10 minutes she slowly tiptoed into the house and started sniffing all around the sunroom and kitchen. She was between me and the door though so I didn't move. After she started exploring more of the house I slowly worked my way to the door and closed it. I ignored the dog and looked at this FB site and found her picture. (I had not seen a single poster in all those days) I called and reported I had her. When I hung up the call I couldn't find the dog and temporarily panicked thinking she got out of the house. Then searched the house and found her under a bed upstairs. I was able to coax her out and back downstairs. I placed a slip lead on her to ensure she didn't bolt when her owners came into the house. When they arrived I could see her visibly relax and her tail wagged! Made my heart so happy! What did I do right or wrong to learn for the future, or is every case so completely different?"![]()

This is a great example of how to ignore a lost pet and to lure them into safety. ❤️🐾![]()

Posters!![]()

Posters!![]()

Posters are the number ONE method of getting a lost pet back. ![]()
![]()
Posters, why don't people take them seriously? ![]()
![]()
Why do people not listen to lost pet professionals when they say to get posters up IMMEDIATELY?![]()
![]()
We have been telling people to get posters up IMMEDIATELY for years but it mostly falls on deaf ears. ![]()
![]()
More pets are found through the use of Posters than any other method. ![]()

Do you want to get your pet back sooner rather than later? You guessed it, POSTERS!![]()
![]()
Please if you’ve lost your pet, PLEASE get posters up immediately, it really can get your pet back quickly. ![]()
![]()
Don't wait for your pet to just come back on its own, and don't sit back and let others do all the work. Get posters up. ![]()

Rescue groups are overwhelmed! The more you as a lost pet parent can do to help get YOUR lost pet back, the better. ![]()

Lost Pet Searches - Tracking
NOT a LARG service!
For a fee, tracking is 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!
