"Lucy," Black DSH, Pleasant Hill





Lucy is a 7 pound all black, spayed DSH who has been missing since February 10 from her home. She recently moved to the new home and was getting adjusted to the new location when she left by a window in the middle of the night that got left open by accident.

Lucy is not wearing a collar. She is microchipped and the contact information is updated. 

Lucy was seen on a neighbor's yard camera at 1 AM the night she went missing. We picked up the search from there and followed it all the way to up a busy road that led directly to the freeway. We were unable to safely walk on that road.

It appears that Lucy was transported inside a car out of the area. Lucy's person did confirm there was a person visiting the house later in the day after she went missing. She said she would also search in the area of where that car would be going and continue to search for Lucy in the immediate area in case she comes back.

We walked back to the area of the house and continued to check various locations. 

Lucy's person said she would continue to search for Lucy.

"Bobo," Toy Poodle, 14 years, Orinda

Bobo is a 14 year old white toy poodle mix. He was let out into the back yard to use the restroom at 9 PM and unfortunately, his person fell asleep. When he woke up a couple of hours later, Bobo was no where to be found in the yard. The existing security cameras did not show him leaving the yard. 

In my search of the very large yard on a hillside, I did find an opening under the deck where he could fit through and get out into the hillside behind the house. We started our search from that location.

I took Asia out to this area and off leash, I took her to this steep location and started the search. She immediately picked up a scent out of that location, up the steep hill that is open to the public, per Bobo's person. The track was up the hillside, around some trees and eventually back down and out to the main road leading past their house. 

The track continued for several miles all around Orinda and Morgan Hill and to Rheem Shopping Center, where the search was stopped by Bobo's person. 

The Strava map does show the track leading out to the shopping center, and unfortunately, I forgot to turn off the map when we drove back to their home. That is why the distance is so long, but it should be just out to the Rheem Shopping Center, where we stopped.

"Seamus," White with Orange DSH, San Francisco - FOUND!!!!

 




Seamus is a two and a half year old, indoor and outdoor, neutered, white with orange DSH cat who suddenly did not come home one evening from his regular time out in the local neighborhood, despite a regular schedule. 

After an extensive search by Seamus' person, a sighting was discovered several days later at a nearby multi-family residence where Seamus had been seen hanging out at the front door in their courtyard for a couple of days after being missing. We started the search there. 

The track Asia found led away from the building and down to Mission Street, and then all the way on Mission Street through Colma and into South San Francisco, changing into El Camino. Once we were in South San Francisco, the track led around several buildings and then around the Kaiser Permanente building on El Camino Real.

The search was stopped at this location at the four hour mark. 

We did our search on a Sunday afternoon. On that following Tuesday, I received an email that Seamus suddenly walked into his cat door, very hungry and tired and disoriented!!!!

"Miso," Chihuahua, Brown, Oakland - Found!!!!!

I received a phone call a week ago that Miso had been found safe and well in Oakland. Her person received a phone call that Miso was seen by a person with another person, and that person saw a flyer on a post and called Miso's person!!

Miso is a 13 year old, 4 pound brown Chihuahua who is microchipped and wearing a collar with ID tags. 

She went missing by accident while staying at a dogsitter. There were several possible sightings with other people but no one was able to pinpoint or find these people. 

Day #1:

The track we found led away from the house and around Emeryville and Oakland and Berkeley. It did appear based on the track that Miso was being carried by a person around the area where the sightings had been.

Day #2

https://strava.app.link/S56MTxPz7Nb

Day two started at an apartment building where someone saw a person carrying Miso into the building. After getting permission to bring Asia into the building, which was pet friendly, I showed all the floors and entrances and exits to Asia on a "Check" mode. After several minutes, I took Asia back to a middle point and told her "Search." She walked back to a couple of walkways and then out to a courtyard on the ground floor with a playground. She went directly to a back gate that leads out to the street. I had her check a couple more times and each time she went to this same gate. There were cameras there, and Miso's person said she would talk to the apartment management about seeing the camera footage. 

Day #3

We started day three where we left on Day #2. We continued to follow the track all the way up Fruitvale and then around Dimond Park and then back down on Lincoln. Search was stopped at 4 hours at Lincoln and Montana. Miso's person said she would continue to search for Miso. It appears that Miso is still being carried by another person.

"Sally," DSH, Black, San Francisco



Sally is an indoor only 12 year old, 9 pound, all black, DSH with a single white spot on her chest. She was not wearing a collar, but she is microchipped and the microchip company has been contacted and updated. 

She was let out by accident through a window by a visitor to the home. Sally was seen on a neighbor's camera within the next 30 minutes after getting out. After that, there were no sightings of Sally.

I was able to arrive a week after she went missing, and we found the track that led around the neighborhood and eventually out of the area, crossing Monterey Blvd and then continued straight. The track continued around the area, and headed straight to Alemany, which turns into Mission. The search continued into Daly City, across the county line of San Mateo County. 

The search was stopped after four hours by Sally's people. They said they would contact Peninsula Humane Society, who covers all of San Mateo County.

It appears that Sally had been picked up and carried out of the area. The track was very deliberate and continued straight and purposeful out of the area, unlike the track of a lost cat who is wandering around.

"Cartier," American Bulldog, Brown and White, Oakland

 


Cartier is a 2 year old, tan and white American Bully. He is microchipped, but not wearing a collar or tags. He and another dog accidently got out of their yard on a Sunday afternoon. The other dog was eventually found back in the yard, but Cartier was not found. Despite a search of the neighborhood, Cartier was not found that night. The microchip company has been contacted and they distributed their own flyers. 

I was able to come out the next morning and after looking at the yard and how Cartier got out of the yard, we took Asia around the block to find the way that Cartier got out of the common area behind the houses on the block. Asia found the track leading away from the neighborhood, through a park and then onto another street that led directly to International Blvd. From there the track went right and continued for several miles all the way to Lake Merritt. From there the track went all the way around the lake, which is over 3 miles all the way around. 

The search was stopped at the four hour mark and Cartier's people said they would continue to look for him. 

It appears that Cartier was intentionally removed from the area and taken a distance from his neighborhood. Oakland has a strong policy of no flyers on poles or posts, so I recommended that Cartier's people walk around and pass out flyers to people to see if they recognize him being walked by another person. I also recommended showing the flyer to the Police and Animal Control in case he shows up in another case in the city.

"Michael", DSH, Grey Tabby with White, Orinda



We came out to do the search on Saturday, July 13.

Michael was last seen July 3 as his people went out of town for a few days. There were other people still at the house caring for Michael.

The track we found led out of the area of the house and down the main road. The track crossed a major street and then continued up another road and into winding hills. The road dead ended and then the track led back up the road. 

From there the track went back down the road and into a parking lot of an elementary school. Then the track went out of the parking lot and turned right onto another main road. 

The track went down that main road all the way to a large shopping center. From there the track went all around the shopping center. The search was stopped at 4 hours by Michael's people. 

It appears that Michael jumped into a type of delivery track on the day of July 5 and then remained in the truck all the way to the shopping center where he jumped out, probably when the driver was taking a break and stopped for a time. 

Michael's people said they would post flyers up all around the shopping center and continue to look for him. All shelters have been checked and the microchip company has been informed.
