Tommy was caught by Petsearchers Canada and is now safe and sound!!!
Thank you so much!!!!
TOMMY IS HOME SAFE AFTER 9 DAYS!
What an incredible rescue story! Tommy had just arrived from Korea when he slipped away at YVR Airport — one of the loudest, busiest, and most dangerous areas for a lost dog.
Parker and Julia from Petsearchers were called in, and after searching every corner of the parking lots and terminals, they shifted focus to quieter areas nearby. There he was — hiding deep in the bushes just off a busy airport road. A trap was set, but Tommy had other plans and moved north toward the industrial and forested areas, full of coyotes and heavy traffic.
Sightings soon came in from a fuel yard and YVR Wildlife Control, who spotted him near the runway. Cameras and traps were set, and Tommy cautiously checked one out — halfway in before backing out. Then, he disappeared again.
After remapping the area, Parker and Julia placed new bait stations and cameras — and finally, Tommy reappeared! A freshly baited trap was moved into position, and this time, he went all the way in. Safe at last!
Back at the office, Tommy’s true personality came out — wagging his tail, giving kisses, and asking for scratches. Such a sweet, gentle soul.
Huge thanks to the RCMP, YVR staff, Wildlife Control, and the many industrial sites who gave access to their properties. Special thanks to Karen McKay for helping on-site with food and watch, and to everyone who called in sightings, shared posts, and kept Tommy in their thoughts.
After 9 days on the run, Tommy is finally safe.
OCT 17 2025: TOMMY IS STILL MISSING! Please keep sharing and looking out for him, he’s still in the YVR area. Please do not call his name or try to catch him if you see him, as he keeps moving to different areas when this happens making him hard to catch. Thank you!
