Pugsley is still missing - but no leads

Pugsley still out there missing. We haven't had any leads to follow up on lately and the search is sort of at a halt. We no longer believe he is in the area where he was lost, but we have no idea which way he went. Another dog who was missing recently in the area was found 10 miles from where he was lost, so Pugsley could really be anywhere. We are hoping that animal control might get a call about a stray dog that might be him that we could follow up on or better yet, animal control might pick him up. It is also possible that someone has him and thinks that he was a stray since when he was lost, he didn't have any tags on.

Cross your fingers that we get another lead. I'll post the next time something happens.

Another false sighting

Sorry for the lack of updates. We had a big blow on Tuesday when we discovered that Animal Control had picked up a black dog on Nalley street, which is close to Mountain View (the sight of the most recent sighting). One of our volunteers showed the picture of that dog to the people who had called in the possible Pugsley sighting and his face lit up when he saw it. He said that was the dog he had been seeing.

We did get a couple more calls. One person said she saw a black dog but wasn't able to see if close enouph to get any details. Two groups of people went out yesterday and flyered that area. The other couple of calls described a dog that wasn't Pugsley.

We could really use to help flyering. If you have a couple of spare hours this weekend and can help, please email me at terpdive@addr.com. I have map, flyers, tape, etc.

A hopeful sighting

We got a call last night from a man who said a dog matching Pugsley description has been hanging out in his neighborhood for the last two weeks or so. He couldn't talk much then, but we met up with him this morning and showed him Pugsley's picture. He does believe the dog he saw was Pugsley!!

We also talked to two other people in the area and they too think the dog that had been hanging out is Pugsley.

It was in a neighborhood we hadn't yet flyered, so we started working on that this morning. We also moved the traps from where they currently were over to that area. The person who called in the sighting as well as a neighbor across the street gave us permission to set the traps on their property and one of them is even able to monitor it for us!!

Mountain View Rd is the area where he has been seen. At the end of Mountain View Rd is a lot of wooded area. There is also a lot of wood and open space behind one of the rows of houses on Mountain View. It is possible he might be using those woods to hide in and only coming out for food and to get warm. One of the people, who house we set a trap on, said he likes to come up and find a sunny spot on the persons front porch or back deck.

The last time he was seen was Friday, so we are hoping he is still in the area. They said he sometimes hides over the weekend when more people are home. Anytime someone has tried to get near him, he runs.

Cross your fingers.
