Towson, MD

Description

LARG (Lost Animal Resource Group) is a volunteer-based East Coast organization that assists in finding and humanely capturing lost family pets, stray dogs, cats and other animals. Typically, these animals can't be easily caught, picked up or captured through ordinary means. Getting these animals to safety often requires patience, strategy, skill and equipment, as well as time and resources.

Our volunteers do this work because we have a passion for saving at-risk animals and helping families. We work on these cases before, during and after our normal work and lives. Most of our volunteers operate in Maryland, however we also serve surrounding areas based on volunteer availability. We also train and network with other humane trappers in other areas. Because of our organization’s specialized experience, we work with families on cases across the United States.

Our organization is very specialized - We focus on field rescue of animals who are not already safely contained; our primary focus is getting them to safety. LARG is currently supported by our volunteers who put their own time and money into this service.

The animals we help to rescue often have no one else who is able or willing to search for them, or take the time to rescue them from their life of danger, suffering and loneliness. These animals might be dumped, lost or stray, but they still deserve to be helped.

Please go to http://www.greatnoses.info and click on the "Contact Us" page to send me information about your lost pet. Because there are a lot of details to exchange at this point, email is the best way for us to communicate, and I WILL respond to your message promptly.
So that you know what to expect:

finding a lost pet can take a lot of physical and emotional work—on your part and mine
it's rare to actually find the lost pet on either a dog-supported or humans-only search-either kind of search is just one part of a variety of search & rescue strategies
the search will help focus your follow-up work; with my email/phone support you will need to make & post flyers and/or posters, maintain feeding stations, borrow/buy a game camera to monitor feeding stations and traps, visit shelters, and maybe more
your follow-up work is the MOST important part of getting your pet home again

Description

As an individual certified in Missing Animal Response, I, along with my team of volunteers, will apply all available resources and knowledge to reunite owners with their lost beloved pets. I am also a Certified Veterinary Assistant, which enables me to give proper emergency medical care, if needed, when any animal is found. Hound Hunters believes that lost pet owners are suffering enough with the loss of their pet, therefore there is absolutely NO charge for our services. As the founder, I dedicate ALL of my time to bring your dog home where he/she belongs! There is NO other service comparable to Hound Hunters in the region. Most other groups who search for lost dogs, either charge an exorbitant rate, or do so in their "free time", and NONE of the volunteer groups has anyone with any of my appropriate, invaluable training in lost dog search and recovery.

Kingston, PA
United States
Description

Luzerne County Pet Recovery Services has 2 trained MAR(Missing Animal Response) Technicians that have been tracking, trapping and recovering lost pets for years. Luzerne County Pet Recovery Services is based in Northeastern, Pennsylvania in Luzerne County. The service was started because of a need in the community to help owners of lost pets.

Tracey Morgan-Chopick:

Tracey is also coordinator for our Luzerne County Animal Response Team, which assists animals during natural or man-made emergencies/disasters with training on Large Animal Rescue (Horses, Pigs, Cows and Sheep), Emergency Animal Sheltering and various required FEMA courses. Tracey is also a Humane Police Officer for a local animal shelter and recently has been given the Local Heroes Award for Animal Rescue by the American Red Cross Northeastern Pennsylvania Chapter.

Jeff Chopick:

Jeff began assisting his wife a few years ago in finding lost pets and earlier this year (2016) decided to take the MAR course. He is also a volunteer for the Luzerne County Animal Response Team with training on Large Animal Rescue (Horses, Pigs, Cows and Sheep), Emergency Animal Sheltering and various required FEMA courses.

We both share a wonderful passion together as husband and wife to save animal lives. No pet deserves to feel like they have been abandoned. We take great pride in volunteering our time for all the amazing lost pets we can help. We continually stay in-touch with all of our success stories and lost pet families. Some even decide to help and volunteer their time to help others who have lost their furry family members.

Description

I am willing to answer requests for help as quickly as possible. I can advise on strategy development; poster creation and lost/found pet campaigns. I am willing to assist in a variety of activities, fliers, posters, locally.
I will assist in an advisory capacity for those cases that are a distance from my home base.

My own lost dog Rudy, dragged me into the lost pet world. I wanted every piece of information that I could obtain in order to help to bring him home. I found that the more I advocated for him, the more people surfaced requesting information and resources that have not been available in our state.

I am Rudy's voice; he and I advocate for the rights and efforts necessary to recover all lost pets. As a participant in the Delaware Animal Welfare Task Force. I submitted a written proposal as well as a personal presentation to establish a statewide lost and found pet registry. I have collaborated in the development of that registry. While the registry is still in the infancy stage, it did go live in January 2016. It is my hope that other states will follow. Then all states can connect the dots and form one nationwide lost and found pet registry!

Lost Dogs Illinois (LID) is a nonprofit corporation organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes of reuniting families with their lost dogs which will in turn decrease the number of homeless animals coming to shelters and/or animal control facilities.
In 2010 we saw the need to help Illinois residents in the recovery of their lost dogs. Many people give up, do not have the resources to help them, or the money to pay for a professional “pet detective”. By providing a service, we will provide resources and education to assist people in their search of lost dogs.

I rescued these brothers in October of 2016. Both these cats are Curious/ Clowns, however Pi is a little more shy and reserved. They both settled in to farm life beautifully. I did often worry about them because they like to get into vehicles if a door or window is open…….. then on October 23… Read more “The Adventures of Pi and Loki”

2 Lost Cats

A week my 2 indoor only cats got out through a broken window screen. You advised in an article that I should thoroughly search close by neighbors properties and I found them within an hour hiding in a delapetated shed at the back of my neighbor’s property just two houses away. They were completely quiet… Read more “2 Lost Cats”

Susan to the Rescue

Susan Long quite simply saved the day. There is so much emotional baggage tied up in that dumb, lovable, exasperating dog (and now he’s even more expensive). From the moment Susan answered the phone, she was all in on our behalf, arriving a few hours later to galvanize us into action. Oliver was found within… Read more “Susan to the Rescue”

TRANSPORT ESCAPE

On June 30th, 2018 I was devastated to find out that Tashi, my 1-and-a-half-year-old Lhasa Apso, got loose at the Granville North Carolina rest stop, from a dog transporter who was supposed to drive him from our old home in Northern VA to our new home in Tampa, FL. The County Humane Society, Animal Control,… Read more “TRANSPORT ESCAPE”

It Takes A Village

I met Tracey Dreibelbis on day seven trying to catch Fred whom had escaped from my neighbor’s boarding facility. She was very professional and informed me of Fred’s patterns over the past few days.

Every Shelter or Animal Rescue Group Should Take This Training Course

I had already been helping my wife Tracey with MAR work and she had won the MAR course during one of Kat’s training seminars. So I decided to take the course and fill in the gaps of what I had already learned and what I was missing.

I Couldn’t Wait Until the Next Week’s Lesson Arrived – Susan L.

I took the class expecting it to be superficial information that I already knew. I couldn’t have been more wrong! This class is in depth, research based, and very professional. I couldn’t wait until the next week’s lesson arrived. I highly recommend it for anyone that is helping to recover lost pets.
