Shellie

We knew this was going to be a tough one. Shellie lived with her owner in Hedgesville, WV when she was spooked by something and ran off. She navigated through mountainous terrain. She was missing for 22 days until she was successfully trapped. It's clear that Hope literally moved mountains for Gail to find her way to her girl.

 

"Diana I owe you and your team the world for your tireless keeping of your promise to get Shellie back to her family"

-Gail, Shellie's Owner

Ruger

Ruger traveled from Mercersburg, PA all the way down to the mountains of Clear Spring, MD. Truly a tough little guy. He was successfully trapped after 5.5 weeks missing. Truly amazing how far a dog can travel and manage to survive.

"I don't know how we will ever be able to thank you all enough. Thank you so much! Couldn't have done it without you all and all the help of the other people we haven't met who volunteered to help find him. We are so thankful!"

-Cory & Lindsay, Ruger's Owner

Cassie

aka 'The Clear Spring Collie'

Cassie was lost for  3 days. It was by the grace of God we were able to corral her into a fenced in area before needing to set a trap. We managed to get out 1000K + flyers in 3 days which lead to numerous sightings and the ability to act fast and rescue her. 

Thanks to the guidance of Russell we were able to quickly get Cassie back. We started to prepare for setting a trap however Russell explained precisely what to do in order to get Cassie out of flight mode. Russell not only led us in helping get Cassie back but also to our new found love of helping others who have lost their pets. We are forever grateful!

-Jessica & Dave, Cassie's owners

Layla

Jessica was out helping a neighbor whose Corgi  ran off when little Layla was crossing the road right in front of her car. Weighing in at only 1lb. & approximately 4 weeks old, she showed us that she is one tough little gal. Initially she battled severe respiratory infections and multiple parasites. Layla also was experiencing GI & GU issues. After many visits with the vet (many in which tried to convince Jessica to put her down) she found a vet who would do their very best to help give Layla a good quality life.  After a procedure it was determined that Layla had suffered some type of trauma prior to her being found which caused her to be incontinent of both bowel and bladder. Medications, frequent baths, supplements and lots of love has seemed to do the trick in keeping her healthy and happy. She sure is a love bug!
