Yesterday afternoon, our friends at four legs good shelter contacted us regarding a dog that had gotten away while on a walk.
Roxy bolted and was running scared and crossed several dangerous roads and was now running the woods along the Palisades Parkway. One false move could have sent her right into harms way. All the searches on foot and by car were immediately called off, we needed her to calm down and not feel threatened or pursued in any way. We advised that Roxy was most likely going to circle back to the shelter and that’s exactly what she did. A trap was immediately set but she was quite trap savvy.
This morning we all met back at the shelter, Roxy was still lurking in the woods. We moved from trapping to Plan B and had her favorite person from the shelter, Christina and her best doggie buddy, Kane, sit in the play yard. We rigged a rope from the play yard gate so if and when Roxy came in, the door could be pulled shut.
Once Roxy saw them playing in the yard she ran right in to greet them and Christina was able to pull the gate shut. Plan B went off without a hitch and we are thrilled to report Roxy is safe and sound and out of the cold.
It is always such a pleasure to work with the dedicated team at Four Legs Good NY who share our passion for animal welfare.
