We've had several people comment on a wandering greyhound-like dog (pictured) who was seen Saturday on Sonoma Drive between Mar Vista and Holliston and environs. Looks healthy but acts skittish and will not come to anybody. If he's yours, here's a good place to start looking.
Also: found an adult grey cat in the Braeburn/La Solana/Carroll Drive area, appears to be female, no identifable markings, but friendly.
UPDATE: One down: the kitty is home, no word on the dog!

First: remember that tonight is the Altadena Town & Country Club's annual fireworks display. The fireworks start at about 9:30 -- please keep your dogs and cats well-secured INDOORS tonight. Judging by experience, this usually primes the pump for boneheads who have their own illegal fireworks, so expect explosions to be going on in town well through the night. If he's an outdoor dog, make him an indoor dog this week.
Having said that, we've got a couple of dogs we're trying to get home:
UPDATE: The Shih Tzu -- whose name is Lady -- went home July 3. Had a two mile walk.

Leslie is missing her cat:
Female calico cat (Black, tan & white) missing since June 5th.
Last seen in her home in East Altadena - on La Paz Road, between Allen Ave & Sinaloa.
Indoor cat - so she obviously got outside.
She is skittish - and will most likely run and hide from people - but is most easily spotted by her markings and a long, very fluffy tail. Her tail is black on one side and white on the other side.

Sweet temperament, wearing a faded greenish gray canvas collar. Very dehydrated and hungry when we finally brought him in.He seems to love other dogs and enjoyed belly rubs. Poor guy. We very much want his owner to find him.
5 year old male, impound # A4580331.

Five years we've gone without a missing turtle, and this year two.
Jamie Bissner writes that he's (or rather, his dog) found a 4 1/2 in. in diameter red-eared slider on the 2200 block of Maiden Lane midway to Norwic Place. As these are non-native (in fact invasive) and riparian (i.e. river-dwelling), and fast-moving for a turtle, this is probably somebody's errant pet.
UPDATE: It was -- he's gone home now.

We have made a decision to close our missing/found pet form after several months. There were several problems with it: it had become unreliable (some reports didn' t make it to us for days) and some people could never figure out how it worked. There was also no capability for sending pictures thru the form -- they had to be sent separately, and that lost some convenience points.
Not that we're not going to report missing and found pets -- this is one of our main jobs! What we ARE asking is that, if you have found or lost a pet, you include some basic information:
WHO: You are, so we can resolve this successfully
WHAT: Description of pet, including identifying marks, collar, microchipping, etc.
WHEN: When did you find it/ lose it
WHERE: Location where you found it/lost it/last seen
HOW: Tell us some of the circumstance of how the pet was lost or found -- maybe it will spark somebody.
We love our animals, and they should all go back to the homes of people who love them! Just write to: altadenablog@gmail.com, and include a picture if you can.

How can you not love this story?:
Hi! Can you help us or know of someone who can? We are looking for a family or two to call our own.
We were found running the streets together. They told us the streets are pretty dangerous for a couple of little guys like us. Neither of us is micro-chipped.
I am the poodle– the cute guy on the left. You’d never believe it now, but I started out looking like a mop! I don’t think I ever had a haircut because I had long dreadlocks – that hurt whenever I moved. But look at me now! My rescue person gave me the smartest “do” I ever had. Don’t I look great? I feel terrific! I am not sure how old I am but, likely between 6-12 months old. I must have lived outside all my life, because I am not house trained – yet! People tell me I am very smart and a real sweetie!
I am the Chihuahua – the small one on the right who loves belly rubs! I don’t really know how old I am but somewhere between 6 and 12 months old. I must have been living outside all my life too, because I am not house trained either – yet! I am very smart and well behaved otherwise, so please don’t hold that against me. I am not neutered, but my rescue person can help with that.
We both love lots of attention, playing, being petted, good food and napping. Well, come to think of it….who doesn’t, right?
Can you help us find good homes, either together or separately?
And that’s our story…
Can you offer a wonderful home to us?
If you are interested, please call Lucy at 310-709-3744

Daniela writes:
This little guy showed up in our driveway on Rubio Vista and Pleasantridge last night (4/29) and - according to neighbors - had been wandering around the neighborhood earlier that afternoon.
We got his attention with treats, gave him food and water and took him to an emergency vet to see if he was microchipped. Unfortunately, he is not. Even though he is wearing a collar, there are no tags or any other information to identify him or his home.
Since we can't keep him, we will take him to the animal shelter in Baldwin Park later today if we can't find his owner by then.He looks like a small, young Chihuahua Minipinscher mix with a mostly black coat with some beige and white on his face and chest. The tip of his tail is also white. He is very playful, still 'intact', and seems to be a very sweet boy. He is wearing a collar with blue, green, and white stripes.

Her tail has slightly lighter rings. Lovely amber eyes. Might be an American short-hair cat (she was abandoned so I don't know that much about her). Approximately 9 years old. Sweet but skittish around strangers.
No color or tags.

We didn't want to hear this one: Paco the crimefighting chihuahua is Altadena's latest missing dog.
Owner Duane Dier writes:
Paco the crimefighting dog is missing. Last seen on April 4 in front of his building at 3 PM. Please if anyone has seen or picked up my chihuahua please call me. He never leaves the vicinity.
Paco became a celebrity in 2011 when a security video of him fighting off two armed robbers at Ace's Smoke Shop went viral over the internet. Paco was a guest on several talk shows, and had his own website, Facebook page, and Twitter account at one point. If you know anything about his whereabouts, please call Dier at 626-590-6862.
UPDATE: Between the time the report came in and the time we published it, Paco was found. Drier said that a homeless man had befriended Paco, and Paco just decided to follow him up to the hills where the man lived. Drier said he got on his mountain bike to the cave where the man was living, and Paco is safe and sound.

Diane has found a pitbull about 1:30 PM, first seen at New York and Coolidge, and now it's in her backyard where it's confined.
Black, young, and recently neutered judging by the shaved areas on his body. No collar or other identifying marks. He can't stay there much longer, because the two dogs who lives there can't go out while he's in the back yard. He will be going to a shelter soon.
UPDATE: He's home now.

Small, male terrior mix, mostly white with a few tan markings. Dirty, matted fur, no tags or collar.

A cat has taken up residence on a front porch not its own. Mary says:
This cat showed up in the neighborhood near Holliston and Mendocino in Altadena weeks ago and we thought it was a new cat in town. It could be that it is someone's pet, but it lives on my front porch during the day and disappears at night. We are feeding it since it does not look well cared for. It is fairly tame, and a bit shy. If it has a home, please call and advise. It has a very distinct physical trait that will identify it.
Petite long haired cat with white chin and throat. It has a grey and orange coat, and could be considered a diluted tortoise shell coat with spots and some stripes.

Reader Elizabeth writes:
[Sunday] morning a dead chihuahua (golden-tan, male ) was in my front yard. There was barking on the street from a neighbor's dog around 5:30 AM Sunday, and at 6:15 AM. someone rang my front door bell. When I went to pick up the paper at 7:30 AM, I discovered the dog.
Dead by misadventure (perhaps a coyote), but not severe (yes, there is damage to the body). I would guess the family is concerned, and I can give them consolation. Found in the Calaveras/Almadea area. My neighbor and I wrapped in up in several layers of bags and it is presently in the neighbor's trash, which will be picked up on Wednesday.

There are a lot of lost critters in the past few days, and here they are:
----
Found rabbit: Zia writes: "We found a brown baby rabbit, about 4 weeks old in our backyard at Loma Alta and Olive. Its been living in our backyard since Jan 19. It could possibly be wild but it is very tame and the neighborhood cat has been hunting it so we took it in." 818-414-9254 call or text.
-----
Found chihuahua: Last Thursday (1/24) morning, I found tiny female chihuahua on Ventura, about a block west of the school, toward JPL. She's tan, friendly, multicolored collar but no tag or chip. She was dodging cars, and came right to me when I called her. If she's yours, please pick her up at Pasadena Humane Society.

Moco is described as "black and white. with black eye patch and one black front leg that looks like a sock. He has a black back with a spot on his left shoulder and a white chest. He is small approx 12 inches+ long with a black tail that has a white tip. He has long legs that look long for his body."
Update 1/30: Moco's an adventurous dog! Owner Bernard writes:
We received a call this morning 1/30/2013 that he was sighted on Allen in Altadena. We headed there right away. It took a few rounds, but we found him! He climbed down all the way from Henninger Flats back up through the back of Eaton Canyon and to the street, on his way back home. We found him, and thank you for all your help with the blog. Special thanks to the people of Altadena who were really empathetic and actually physically helped us search. Thank you very very much!

So sad, this one, from reader Will:
Sky is our beautiful German Shepherd who we just adopted today [Jan. 19]. She jumped the fence in our yard when we went to buy her food and supplies to welcome her to her new home. We're told her former name was "Gretch." Even though we haven't had her very long, she's already a special member of our family, and my wife and I miss her very much. We are really anxious to get her back as soon as possible.
Sky is a pure breed German Shepherd, around 70 pounds. She's mostly black with some brown markings. She's wearing a brand new red collar and has a dog tag that asks anyone who finds her to call the Pasadena Humane Society.
Apparently she got out around noon and was last seen around Eaton Canyon on Altadena Drive at around 4pm Saturday.
UPDATE 1/22: Will writes back to say that Sky was killed by a car sometime Sunday. Our sympathies go out to them.

This dog was found wandering around Loma Alta Park today: Bonnie gives us the details:
Red Siberian Husky - blue eyes. Young unaltered male. No tag, flea collar and harness. Was found wandering below gym next to Loma Alta Park. He was then tied up next to the office (with water) to keep him from wandering. Someone called Humane Society who said they would be picking him up today. I was notified of it by a resident who sent an email/photo of the dog to our neighborhood mailing list.
Since the Pasadena Humane Society doesn't cover Altadena, you may want to check the Baldwin Park animal shelter as well. Hope he gets home.
UPDATE: Puppy's home now.

Mighty La Canada Flintridge Blogger Kathy Christie Hernandez (who has just moved to Borderdena and is taking a break from online life) asked us to spread the word -- her doggie Ricky needs a new home:
When I adopted my dog four years ago, I was working at home and had backup afternoon care for this sweet little guy. But then life threw me a curveball this year, and I'm now single in a new (albeit awesome!) city. Unfortunately, that means my dog is home alone for 11+ hours at a time, and he is so sad. He needs a level of attention I can no longer give, so I'm looking for a new home for him.
I've posted some photos and more information about him at http://www.kchblog.com/?p=6275. Please let me know if you're interested, and please forward this to anyone you know who might be.
Thanks.

The unquotable Steve Bass sends this:
We were out in the Arroyo this morning for a long walk and just happened to met a nice couple who had rescued a 6-9 month old dog. He looks the spitting image of our very own Scully - only this cutie is white. The rescuer bought him from a homeless man in a park in South Pasadena, because she thought it was getting too cold for him and he was hungry. They really like him but this guy is a cat chaser (sound familiar??) and they have cats and a dog.
He is a very energetic and smart little guy. He loves to snuggle and likes to curl up with you in bed for nap time! He would do best in a home with folks who are at home and have another dog or two. He gets along with most other dogs. He has been checked by the vet and has a clean bill of health! He just needs a loving warm home with plenty to do and lots to eat. if you are interested, or know of someone who can provide this little guy a home, please contact Kerry John or Dan Patten at cell323-839-3341 or email kerry at kerrylee43@aol.com Kerry says that she will deliver the dog to you in person. What more could you ask for?

Delie's cat Darwin took off, and maybe we can help get him home:

He is a male cat medium size about 5-6 lbs. White and black in color, and is called a tuxedo cat. He is a rescue cat originally and is very terrified of the outdoors. No tags.
