Sandy is safe after a few weeks on the run in BaltimoreCockyy 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 herCheck in with BARCS for updatesTo volunteer or donate, www.largcares.org ...

Oscar is safe and back at the rescue after a 5 day adventure in Chevy Chase, MDhis 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.

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!
