"Tesla," Creme DMH, 12 Years, Fremont

Day One:

https://strava.app.link/4VcEKy1D5Ab

Tesla is an indoor neutered 12 years old creme colored DMH. He was last seen inside the home along with another cat who also lives in the house. Somehow the front screen door got open and both cats got out of the house. The other cat was found under the house, but Tesla was not found, despite an immediate search of the area and surrounding neighborhood and postering of flyers. He is not wearing a collar, and he is microchipped. 

The track we found was around the neighborhood and then out towards the Alameda Creek, It went through Coyote Regional Park and then came back out onto Paseo Padre. It then went into Fremont and over 880. The search was stopped at four hours and we are scheduled to go back again tomorrow. 

Day Two:

We started where we left off on Friday and continued around some parks in Newark. While we were tracking, Tesla's person found a deceased cat in a road from being hit by a car. I went there and saw the cat and it definitely wasn't Tesla. The colors were different. There was another cat nearby that was also hit by car. Tesla's person called Animal Control and reported both to be picked up. The search was stopped at 4 hours. We have plans to start again on  Tuesday.

"Oakley," Australian Shepard mix, Red and White, Richmond

This isn't a photo of Oakley. I never received a photo from his people, so I pulled this from my own collection. It means "I love you" in sign language and is on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. 

Oakley is a one year old red and white Australian Shepherd mix. While staying at the Milo Foundation and being walked by a volunteer, he got out of his collar and took off. His previous person found out about the escape and immediately started looking for him. He is not wearing any ID and is not microchipped.

There was only one sighting within the week that he was missing and we came out for the search. The track we found led completely away from the location where he went missing. We went all the way to the far distant locations of the Port of Richmond and then all the way back, but on the opposite side of the street from the way he walked in. 

Oakley's people did confirm that Oakley is very skittish around strangers and people of all types, so it would be difficult to catch him. The chance of him approaching a stranger for help or food would not exist. 

They said they would continue to look for him.

"Kofi" Chihuahua, Blonde. San Carlos - Found

Kofi is a 14 year old Chihuahua mix. When he went missing on New Years Eve around 7 PM he was wearing his collar and ID tags and an AirTag GPS indicator. His person told me his eyesight and hearing were becoming diminished. 

He got out of the yard by accident when his person came home and drove the car into the fenced yard where the driveway is and Kofi took off without her knowing he was out. An hour later they noticed he wasn't in the house and went out looking for him. 

Later that night around 9 PM they received two pings from his collar and went to that area about 45 minutes from the house. A person also told them they had seen Kofi that night. No other sightings or calls were received. 

I came out to do the search on that following Friday. I arrived at noon and Asia immediately picked up the scent leading out of the yard and eventually to the area of the two pings and sighting in a neighborhood park. The search continued for another three hours around San Carlos, and it was stopped at the four hour mark. We scheduled another time to come back that Sunday morning. 

The next morning early I received a text that Kofi had been found later Friday night after a ping was received by his collar. They went to the location and made contact with the person at home.  Kofi was found deceased inside their pool inside their yard. Somehow Kofi made it into the open yard and unfenced pool and fell into the pool.
