On January 1, we were contacted by a Good Samaritan, Holly, who said she and her neighbors had been trying to catch a loose Chihuahua that had been seen in their Richardson neighborhood for about 2 months. We set up a feeding station but so many neighbors were looking after her, she rarely came by […]
Look Who Got Caught: Corene, Bud, Sissy, Pam, and Marsha Lynn
On February 6, we received a capture request from a Good Samaritan for a mom and puppies abandoned by their owner and living under their now empty house. The puppies went in and out through two holes in the crawl space walls. The Good Samaritan, Maddie, had been feeding the momma dog and gained her trust […]
Look Who Got Caught: Churchill
On January 17, we received an email about a little black dog who had been seen near Central Expressway and Coit for about a week. The couple who contacted us had lost their own little black dog recently and had been contacted about a sighting. Sadly, this was not their lost pet but that didn’t […]
A New Home for Hope
On January 18, we received an Capture Assistance Request from a concerned citizen asking for help with a female German Shepherd who had been seen in a field in Mesquite for at least three months. She had been seen with a male Labradoodle but sadly, her companion had been hit by a car and now […]
Seeking a Home for Crowley
Crowley was our last capture of 2017. She had been spotted for several weeks at Crowley Park in Richardson, and the neighbors were very concerned about her safety because of the sub-freezing temperatures we were experiencing. Our policy is that we only deploy for capture if the dog has a foster home or other safe […]
Look Who Got Caught: Chevy
Meet Chevron Chevy, our midnight capture (as you can see in our tired faces!) This little guy has been living at a Chevron station for over a month. So many residents had been trying to win his trust and had kept him well-fed, which probably helped him survive this cold weather! However, it made him […]
Look Who Got Caught: Jetson
On January 10, we received a Capture Assistance Request about a dog who had been adopted from the Seagoville Animal Shelter, then given away on CraigsList. The couple that took “Jetson” only had him for a few hours before he made a run for it. Luckily, Jetson was sticking around a motel in Mesquite so […]
Remembering Tinker
Those who have been following our capture efforts for a while know that we have been working on catching a pack of 9 dogs that we nicknamed “The P3 Family” for about 8 months. Last year, we were able to catch three of the adults: Blondie (now Goldie), Toots (now Hope), and Bruno. But we […]
Look Who Got Caught: Nettie
On January 8, we received a Capture Assistance Request (CAR) about a female dog who had been spotted shivering in a field in Mesquite. A Good Samaritan, Janice, was feeding her every day but reached out for help because the weather was getting so cold. One of our newest Capture Team members, Lana, took the […]
Look Who Got Caught: Bucky
Duck Team 6 was contacted before Christmas about a little dog that was loose in an apartment complex. Our volunteers went to the complex multiple times but never saw the dog. After the new year, we were contacted again so one of our volunteers went searching and as she was about to leave, she saw a […]
