At least 21 one days (that we know) of nonstop running, the Warwick stray has been safely captured! After a week of seeing posts for sightings of a large, skinny cane corso/ great dane looking dog, a concerned resident, Casey Roerden, took matters into her own hands. She reached out to the local authorities and scoured social media. There were no reports or posts of someone missing a dog fitting this description. She then reached out to BDRR and asked for help. Posters were hung and we posted all over the various lost pet pages, still no one came forward.  This dog was terrified and runni ..read more

At nineteen weeks old, little Hunter backed out of his collar and took off straight into the woods.  The family had a drone company out early in the morning and he was located approximately a quarter mile straight shot through the woods from where he escaped. Thankfully, he was staying put in an area and hunkering down. After several attempts to catch were unsuccessful, the family reached out to me and I immediately made the hour and a half drive out. These woods not only had predators but also illegal animal traps that were discovered, it was very dangerous for Hunter to be out there. Ti ..read more

A New Year brings a new life for this miracle girl! November 7, 2023 was the first sighting of this little stray. She was running seven towns…Irvington, Newark, East Orange, Orange, South Orange and Maplewood. She navigated extremely dangerously city streets, often times almost being hit. Kelly Conover, Marcia Sandford and I worked around the clock for months tracking her travel patterns, setting up feeding stations and traps and connecting with the community who embraced and supported us and our efforts with open arms.  We were faced with so many obstacles in a densely populated urban ar ..read more

Meet our New Years baby, Pork Chop! On the run in Riverdale, NY for at least two weeks. A local resident and friend, Stacey Labiosa contacted me for help.  A feeding station was set up and we quickly had him returning. He would come out of hiding with his nose in the air sniffing to see if his next meal was waiting for him.  Today the trap was set and within a few hours he was circling the trap and went right in.  With shelters and rescues bursting at the seams, it’s so hard to find placement for these stray animals right now. I am so thankful that I have such an amazing tribe o ..read more

Delilah, a ten month old, new rescue had only been at her new home for three hours when her leash somehow became unhooked and she bolted.  I would say that 90% of the cases I work are newly adopted or southern rescue dogs. Typically, these dogs will stay close to, or return to the point of escape, if not chased or pursued.  As I always say, lost dog recovery is counter intuitive to all the things you think should be done when a skittish dog in survival mode goes missing. Most think that more boots on the ground and getting every organization, group, rescue, search party involved is g ..read more

There are many unsung heroes in the rescue of these lost and abandoned souls.  This rescue began when a kind woman named Audrey saw a post on social media about a dog running in Stony Point, NY, for at least three weeks. She stepped up to the plate and sought help for this frightened pup. She walked into the new shelter Four Legs Good NY NJ, who then reached out to me.  The area she was running was a stones throw from the Palisades Parkway, we needed to bring her to safety and fast. She had found a home that was feeding cats and was intermittently returning. We asked others in the ar ..read more

Simon escaped through a door left ajar by a dog sitter. His elderly owner was in the hospital and with the family not close by, they were not alerted right away that he had escaped. When a family member was finally notified, I was contacted.  Simon had travelled quite a distance via the railroad tracks and to make matters worse, cell service was very spotty for my  cameras to work. Thinking outside the box, I used a baby monitor to view the trap and it worked like a charm.  After six days on the run in Middletown, NY, Simon has been safely captured. He will be staying safe and s ..read more

A community rallied today to help save this frightened beagle girl.  She was running a heavily traveled road with cars flying by. Many kind people stopped and tried to catch her but she was just so frightened.  I was contacted and headed out and was able to safely capture her in the rain this afternoon.  She is now safe and sound at Goshen Humane Society. She is not chipped and is in need of medical care. If anyone recognizes this girl or knows anything please reach out to Goshen Humane Society, Inc. Huge thanks to Rachelle Estephan, Laura Gould, Rick from Goshen Humane and the ..read more
