♥ It is with sheer excitement that I get to tell you that SAMMY IS HOME! ♥
I am sure you all remember Sammy, the golden mix that has been missing from Cantley since August 27th, 2014. We have had a dedicated team working with the owners since that time. We postered, went door to door, put and ad in the local paper, postered all over social media. We followed NUMEROUS leads that all ended up to be a loose golden, but not Sammy. We never had a confirmed sighting of her since she went missing. That is until 2 days ago. The owner got a call that Sammy’s SPCA medal had been found at a shed where she and another dog have been sleeping at night under for a few months. The home owners had been feeding them and working with the SPCA to trap the dog. No luck. The entire neighborhood was trying to help these dogs but they would not approach. FINALLY, after a few months, because her tag fell off, she was identified. Our team went over last night, scoped out the place, did some adjustments to the trap, left some personal items of hers, things she likes. We even saw the german sheperd she had been hanging with! Guess what? This morning, the trap was closed yet again BUT Sammy was inside! Her owner picked her up and she immediately went nuts and wagged her tail, she was not feral at all! She is now home and safe and will be checked over by a vet BUT, these pictures are of her just about an hour ago and she looks fantastic! The moral of this story is NEVER GIVE UP! Even if you have NO leads, NO sightings. Sammy was found exactly 7 months to the day that she was lost! She was 4KM's from where she was lost.
***We are working hard to catch the German shepherd and we will keep you updated on the progress.***
