Below is a little diary of our rescue of MInidoka Red and his eventual flight to medical care. Red is now in foster care and available for adoption and you can see and read more about him here. A big Thank You to all who generously donated for his medical care!
Sunday, May 10th Update
Red was able to hop a ride on a plane through Pilots N Paws and is now in Lolo, Montana getting wonderful medical care. He needs to gain some weight, but his tail seems to be healing well. They think he is highly adoptable and would do best to journey on to his new, forever home as soon as it is found. If you are interested in fostering or adopting this special courageous boy, please visit our Foster page for our online application, or our Adoption page for our online application. Thanks to pilot Gary and all who helped Red get out of the shelter, to medical care and on to a new life!
Wednesday, May 6th Update
We have been able to get Red out of the shelter and to some immediate vet care, thanks to many compassionate volunteers who have been working on his behalf. He will be going to a vet who is well versed in this kind of abuse for longer term care and then we will need a foster home for him until he can be adopted. Everyone who has seen him has said he is a great dog who just loves affection. We have already raised over $300 for his medical care thanks to generous donors. If you would like to consider fostering Red, please fill out our Foster Application, if you are not already approved.
Tuesday, May 5th
There is a very sweet Mal-a-nuff we are calling Minidoka Red, in a local shelter who is very thin and is the victim of abuse and maiming (his tail was cut off). We are arranging to get him to a wonderful vet in Montana, but his care will probably be costly and we still need a foster home for him to recover in. We do not have a lot of information on how he would do with kids or cats, but he seems to be okay with other dogs and despite the cruelty he has endured, is very loving with people. We have no more room. If you can possibly foster him, please contact us.
Thank you all who donated for Red's Medical Care!

NEO - MISSING SIBERIAN HUSKY - April 4, 2009! FOUND, April 16th!!!
|
|
UPDATE - THURSDAY, APRIL 16TH - NEO HAS BEEN CAUGHT - IS SAFE AND ON HIS WAY HOME!!! You can read about his recovery here.
The following is all information before Neo was finally found.
UPDATE - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15TH - The Utah Hwy Patrol has confirmed sightings of Neo between Snowville, UT and Stone, ID. (see map below), which is within five miles of the accident scene. Neo may be very afraid, confused, hungry, and lonely. He's friendly, but may be hard to catch. If you find him notify the Utah Hwy Patrol or the Idaho State Police, your local animal shelter, local law enforcement agency, or the contacts listed here: Email Deb - or phone: 360-636-1824 or email Lynn or phone: 208-578-1123.
UPDATE - MONDAY, APRIL 13TH - KTVB in Boise featured a story on Neo - you can read it hear and watch the video.
The following information has been sent out about Neo. He is a Siberian Husky about 8-9 years old with one blue eye and the other is "parti-colored" - mostly brown with a little blue coloring. He is altered, and was wearing a halter with tags.
"Neo was in a car accident on 4-4-09 where his beautiful person “Joyce Moore” was killed.
Neo stayed with Joyce until medical people arrived and then he took off. He has been sighted several times including today, Wednesday, 4-8-09. He appeared to be headed northwest which is the direction of his home. The accident was in Snowville, Utah and home is Kelso, Washington. So he could be in route anywhere from Utah.
If Neo comes to your organization, even if a few months down the line, he is very much wanted by Joyce’s sister Deb Moore who can be reached at 360-636-1824. If somehow he makes it the SF Bay Area, you can also call Barb Teasdale at 415-563-3641.
Neo may be hard to ‘get’. He was totally Joyce’s partner in life and is most assuredly confused and scared. He knows Joyce passed on and so far is refusing to respond to people attempting to help him.
The family would be most grateful if Neo comes to you, even if it’s months/years down the line and very much would appreciate any help in recovering and reuniting with him."

LOST MALAMUTE ALERT!
|
| Update April 2009 - Polar has not been found.
One of our adopted Mals, Polar, was swept away by strong currents in the Palisades Creek area of Southeast Idaho, near the Wyoming state line on July 11th, 2008. (See map below) Please call 208-523-8934, 208-526-7121 or 208-569-2776 if you see him. A reward is being offered.
July, 2008 - We were just notified, as the family was sure he would turn up, and have been blanketing the area he disappeared in.The husband tried to go after him when he went in, and was nearly pulled under. They saw him swimming toward a low bank on the opposite shore, and are certain he got out, but have not been able to locate him. They and friends have gone over and over the area, put up posters, continue to visit the area, called the county, the forest service, the humane societies and shelters in the area, talked to campers and hikers, anything they could think of. We have suggested they also go on the local news. He is so beautiful and people friendly that we are certain someone came across him and took him home. He was wearing a red collar with tags, a red walking harness, and is micro chipped, so if someone did take him, they aren't wanting him to be found. Since this area is frequented by people from all over the U.S. he could be anywhere. This is a large, high energy, high maintenance dog, so if someone has him, there is the possibility that they will get tired of him, or that he will get free of them, and end up in a shelter. Thus, we are asking all of you to be on the lookout. Below is a map of where Polar was lost.

Update - April 2009 - The owner reports that Lobo was never found.
August, 2008 - Lobo has been missing from 2862 Elberton Road, Elberton, Washington since the night of the big thunderstorm on August, 18, 2008. She is a 70 lb. older female malamute, gentle and shy - not aggressive. Please catch her if you see her and call Lynne Cooper at any hour at 509-635-1489 with any information, so that she might try to follow her trail. She is very loved. She did not have her collar on and she is not microchipped. The owner understands that especially from storm fright, lost dogs can turn up 100 or more miles from home and weeks later, so she is still hopeful.

Summer, 2008 - Roxie Found!
As reported from the HSUS office, Billings, MT.
If you recall in March 2008, Roxy, a spayed female Mastiff-Boxer mix was stolen in Billings. GOOD NEWS! As of today we learned she has been located in Fort Collins CO (found as a stray) and will be returned to her family in Billings thanks to the help of Kathy Hooper and the HSUS network. Roxy had an AVID microchip installed when she was adopted by her owners from the Billings Animal Shelter. The person who found Roxy wandering in his Fort Collins neighborhood had the dog scanned by a veterinarian….and YEA…she is coming home!

Another dog knapping incident was reported in the Spokane, Washington area. Please notify ALL your friends in these areas to be very cautious about leaving their dogs unattended in a car or yard. Idaho just passed a law making dog fighting in this state a federal offense. Wyoming also just recently passed a similar law.
