Welcome home Ryder❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHERE BEING PERFECTLY EXECUTED AND TRUSTING THE PROCESS WORKS!!!!
THANK YOU TO MY MAGGIE & DINO AND A FEW FLAWLESS WOMEN FROM CT Dog Gone Recovery Volunteer Network.
THIS IS TEAMWORK AT ITS FINEST!
Ryder Has Been Safely Trapped! 🐾
After several very scary days and a heartbreaking lack of sightings yesterday, Kelly from Lost Pet Search dogs came out to help with her K9s, Maggie and Dino. Maggie and Dino led us right to a street that gave us the lead we needed.
While searching that area, a resident came outside and asked what we were looking for. When we told her about Ryder, she immediately responded, “Oh, I saw him here yesterday. He had a harness with a blue leash dragging behind him.” This information completely changed the direction of our search.
The CTDGRV Fairfield County Team continued flooding the area with posters, and that effort made all the difference. Today, Ryder was seen throughout the area without his harness and leash. We believe he had become tangled somewhere and was eventually able to free himself. He was even spotted by a volunteer scaling a 6-foot fence, proving just how determined he was to keep moving.
Unfortunately, some well-meaning people were chasing him, making it more difficult for him to settle. But once things quieted down, Ryder began to relax. CTDGRV Pat spotted him coming down the street, and at just the right moment, CTDGRV Jill dropped the trap. Within minutes, Ryder was safely secured.
A special thank you to Mike from Heat Seeker Drone Services for coming out and dedicating his time and expertise in an effort to locate Ryder. We are grateful for everyone who played a role in bringing this boy home safely.
This case is a perfect example of how every piece of information matters, how critical posters are, and why giving a lost dog space can make all the difference.
Welcome home, Ryder! ❤️🐾
Update- he is on the run and being chased by well meaning people. Please STOP! If seen, do NOT engage - call/text the # on the flyer asap! Missing in Stamford. This beautiful boy is missing from the Barclay Dr/Merritt Pkwy Exit 8 area. Please do not call out or chase as this will put him in harms way. We need him to settle in one area. If seen, please call/text the number on the flyer ASAP with detail details on when and where you saw him. If you live in the area, please check your security cameras. Let’s get this boy home safe.
