Reader Claudia has lost her dogs:
We live on Santa Rosa Avenue and Athens. Our two Russell Terriers have gone missing. The female, "Punky" is an escape artist and her best friend "Banshee", the boy, will do anything to be beside her. They are both white in color. Punky has a brown patch over her left eye and ear. Banshee has black and brown patches over both of his eyes and ears. They both have solid black noses. They're very playful dogs and are very friendly with people. Neither are wearing their collar. They were last seen going crossing Lake headed towards Rubio Canyon on Thursday 6/14/12 @ 5:30 PM. If you've seen them please call Robert @ (626) 230-8624 or Claudia @ (626) 676-5087.
UPDATE 6/17: Claudia says they're home now:
Good News! Punky and Bashee are safely home! Thanks to all the Altadena helpful sleuths that took time out of their busy lives in effort to track down this mischievous pair. We are very grateful to the Loma Vista family that took them in during their weekend getaway. Most of all, thank you Altadena Blog, we couldn't have gotten the word out fast enough without you.

Reader Corby has found a cat:
On June 1 I encountered a small orange cat with big eyes (see pics) in the front parking lot of the Chase Bank (next to Bank of America) in Altadena. It seems healthy but was desperate for me not to leave. So I brought it food and water and he ate and drank ravenously.
The next night I checked and it was not there.
June 3 the cat was there and again I fed it. It was ravenous again. But it didn't touch the water.
I took these pics and left it there. I called Chase and asked them if they knew anything the cat. An employee went outside and looked but couldn't see it. He said they have no knowledge of the cat.
It appears healthy but is very needy. I do not have the cat in my possession because I don't want to mistakenly take home someone's cat.
It's a possibly found cat. I hope you can list it. It needs to be reunited with it's owner, in my opinion.

Reader Jed has found a dog:
I picked up this dog today, Sunday, around 11:15 AM wandering near Altadena and Tanoble. Very sweet, Has a license in Monrovia, but the number to call is just the police, who say that the phone they have for the license number (Monrovia # 2759 exp 6/30/12) is incorrect. The dog is well cared for and very friendly. We are on Northaven in Altadena, and our phone is 626-797-4764.

Ketty says there are some dogs on the loose in the Palm/Santa Rosa/St. James neighborhood:
They have been around that block for three days. A female, light brown, that looks like she just gave birth, and a brown male with muscles and very big ears.
I will try to get pictures, but they hide in a backyard when someone approaches them.
No number to call -- they're just at large, if you know who they belong to.
Meanwhile, the handsome specimen in the picture was found a few days ago -- if you know him, call (626) 398-8557.

In a press release from the county Department of Animal Care and Control, officers ill be in Altadena and environs checking your pet's licenses.
The release says that the officers "will be in the unincorporated areas in the vicinity of Altadena checking for current rabies vaccinations, ensuring residents are in compliance with licensing requirements as well as the mandatory spay/neuter and microchip ordinance. California State law requires that all dogs and cats over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies and be licensed. Securing a dog or cat license is an important part of identification and can assist animal control agencies if your pet becomes lost."
Noncompliance with county ordinances means license fees, delinquency charges, and a $40 field enforcement fee. You can secure a new animal license by printing the application online at http://animalcare.lacounty.gov. If your license is not delinquent, you can also renew it through the Internet.
The release says that animal control "offers low cost vaccination clinics and low cost assistance (for individuals who qualify) for spay and neuter surgeries. Please visit our website http://animalcare.lacounty.gov or stop by your local County animal care center for more information about these services."
You can also visit them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CountyofLosAngelesAnimalCare.

Reader Valerie found a cat:
A young male cat who is very sweet and friendly and in good shape showed up at our doorstep at 5 AM Sunday March 18th - VERY hungry and clearly lost. He wanted in our house in the worst way, so we let him in - a couple of coyotes frequent the neighborhood and we lost our dog last year. Our lights were on, and my impression is that he's an indoor cat who somehow got out and is lost. He wondered into our yard just north of New York Drive on Mar Vista (corner of Mar Vista and Morada). Contact me at 626-794-4698

Anne is looking for some help with a dog:
I need someone to take this wonderfully sweet dog while we try to find his owners ... He’s best in a home with no other animals. The vet has bandaged all four of his paws, which were terribly worn down from all the running he’s been doing. The vet thinks he’s been on the run for 3-4 days. I’m happy to supply kibble, bowls, a leash and collar while someone fosters him for us. If we cannot find his family then perhaps they would like to adopt him. He will need neutering.
He’s an absolute sweetheart and loves getting belly rubs. He needs his bandages on for 3 days straight and then they should be removed by a vet. I’m happy to cover the vet cost of that if it is a hardship for anyone. Please contact me ASAP. Photo attached.
Thanks so much!

This pair, who apparently know each other, were found by reader Donna and her family, and they're lucky they were. She writes:
The dogs were found in the vicinity of Glen Canyon and Pepper Drive on Saturday night, February 4. The male is a black lab and the female is a chocolate lab (I think). They had no collars or tags. The female does not have a chip....not sure about the male yet. We had no leashes/ collars, etc. My husband took the female in today to check for a chip, will probably take the male tomorrow.
They do not appear to have been out on the street for any length of time and appear to be in good shape. You can contact me at:
donna.pett@caltech.edu
UPDATE 2/11: The dogs have been adopted!

Jenel sent us a message Friday:
I was out walking my dog this afternoon and came across 2 dogs that were out running around. They were last seen at Mariposa St and Glenrose at 3:30 PM. One dog was colored like a German Shepherd black on top and red around, with a white chest medium size, very friendly. He/She came to us and we called the number on the tag but it was the wrong number. The other dog was a small chihuahua mix dog, male, light brown color not as friendly.

More lost dogs in Eaton Canyon -- just received this missive from Jane Brackman (aka "Dr. Barkman") who found two unhappy families today:
I was hiking in Eaton Canyon this morning from the nature center north to the bridge and came across two different families, both looking for dogs they'd lost yesterday or the day before in the canyon. I don't have photos but I did get phone numbers and dog descriptions. Hope you can post:
One is a golden brown, 90 pound, young Rhodesian ridgeback named Rosco. Lost yesterday, December 22 on the Mt. Wilson road just north of Henniger Flats. If seen call 626-755-5601
The other was lost on the lower trail between the nature center and the bridge. This one is named Truman and is a 7 or 8 month old large dog, I believe gray color and I am not sure what type of dog. If seen, please call 323-258-7257 or 310-704-6803.
UPDATE: As of Christmas Eve morning, there's some good news: Rocoe's home. Details here.

Reader Kim Alvarez called us to say that "Fox," a neighborhood Maine Coon cat, has been about 30 feet up in a tree at Santa Rosa Ave. and Deodara for about the past three days. Fox is yowling, but apparently has no desire to come down. Alvarez tells us the fire department has been called, but it's out of their baliwick. So the neighborhood is wondering what to do. Anyone with a long ladder or a cherrypicker want to help out? Call Kim at 589-7854.

We really need help finding our puppy. He is a 6 month old Rottweiler, he has a reddish/orange/brown collar and he has a scar on his right ear. He is the bigger one of the two in the picture (and of course, he would be much bigger now than in the picture because he was about 3 months in the picture.) He answers to "Bucks". If anyone has found him or knows anything please contact Brittney or Bridgette at (626) 798- 8156, email: brittp12@gmail.com

Reader Rachael found a dog:
I really hope that you can help find this sweet fellow's family. This morning, at Christ the Shepherd Church (Altadena and Glenrose) he approached me and my son after dodging cars in the intersection there. He has no collar and no tags and a quick walk around to the nearest neighbors found no one who could identify him, so I took him home to my backyard. He's very docile and wonderful with children, so I'll keep him with me at least a few days, if necessary.
Please contact Rachael--
818 468 5603
r_doudrick@yahoo.com
Rachael also emails us to say he isn't microchipped.
UPDATE 10/30: James Romero has taken in the husky (he has a bigger yard) and you can contact him as well at 626-806-2649.
