Found dog: St. Bernard on Canon Thursday

Reader Wynne says that they found a St. Bernard on Canon Ave. about 2 PM Thursday, and they can't hold it forever.  Apparently he's limping because he'd had more doggie adventure than he could handle.  If it's yours, call 626-744-0647.

Found cat at Rubio Canon Road and Rubio Crest Drive

Reader Sharon has found a cat:

I was wondering whether you could post a picture of this kitty we found.  The cat had been hanging around our driveway for several
evenings, meowing loudly.  We took the cat to the vet, hoping it had a chip implanted, but no luck.  This kitty is exceptionally
affectionate, and although thin, looks well-groomed and knows how to use a litter box.  The area is Rubio Canyon Rd and Rubio Crest Dr.

We've brought the cat indoors (to avoid the ever-present coyotes) and are feeding it, but this sweet cat definitely seems like someone's pet and we'd like to reunite it with its owner.

Contact her at weregrrl@gmail.com

Found: Calico kitten, near country club Fri.

Lost: brand-new dog [UPDATED]

Jim writes:

I am hoping that you could post a notice on the Altadenablog for my lost puppy.  He is a border collie/cattle dog puppy, 5 months, black and white.  Lost between 2:00 and 5:30 on Sunday, May 22 near Loma Alta and Lincoln. No tag or microchip, as I just got her last night.  My contact number is (818) 298-9014.

This is sad -- our daughter once brought a freshly-adopted dog home from the Humane Society when it slipped out of its collar and ran away before she could get it to the front door.   Fortunately, they found her a couple of days later and today they're best friends.  Let's hope there will be good news here, too.

UPDATE 5/25:  Good news -- puppy is home!  Let's hope it stays there this time!

Found dog, Allen between Washington & New York

Let's get this puppy home:

Found .... female, small, black and white. Maybe a Lapso Apso or Shih Tsu mix. Long hair that is curly at tail. She has cataracts. She has a new collar but no ID tag or microchip. She is thin. She doesn't bark. Friendly and sweet.

I found her on Allen between Washington and New York on 5/11/11 at 11:30 AM. My contact number is 626-797-4523

Found dog, pound dog

One of our readers found this dog (yes, picture is at an odd angle) on their property near Lake and Morada.  They called animal control to come get her, so if she's yours, that's where she is.

Found dog: pinscher/chihuahua mix in the Meadows Sun. [UPDATED]

Day writes us about a dog, found Sunday afternoon in the Meadows:

 

This dog is VERY sweet yet VERY frightened. It's a young female dark and light brown mini pinscher/chihuahua mix with beautiful light yellow eyes. Unsure of her age however, her teeth are very very white. She doesn't appear to be emaciated and I honestly believe that she belonged to someone. Other than her coat/skin having a little redness (maybe due to allergies), she seems healthy. 

 

UNFORTUNATELY, she has taken refuge under my jeep and views that as her "den". I placed a plastic bin with towels and a sheet for her to lay on, she has water as well as I have put food down. She is extremely sweet yet skittish and WILL NOT allow me to touch her OR try to pick her up...every attempt that I have made she has darted off.

 

I am on Day 2 of taking care of her and this morning she came close enough to eat kibble out of my hand. I tried to put a towel over her to scoop her up and again she bolted. What's odd is that she actually likes to play "tag you're it" yet wants to be the one to be chased.

 

I am hoping that this adorable pooch belongs to someone in the Altadena area and she just accidentally espcaped the house or yard and can't find her way back home. If this is ANYONE'S dog I can be reached ANYTIME @ 626.398.1313. I am holding out before calling Animal Control because I don't want her shoved in a cage at the shelter. I also DO NOT want to leave her outside especially since there have been a pair of coyotes who have designated the vacant lot next door as their territory.

You can also email Day at ahotsunnyday@yahoo.com

 

UPDATE 3/30: Day tells us that the dog finally wanted some affection and broke down to be captured.  She was taken to the Pasadena Humane Society (shh!), which is where she is now ...

Long story short, please let everyone know that she is safe now from under my car and from the potential of getting hunted by our newly neighborhood coyote couple. Also share with everyone that this dog is a gem and if I didn't have a beastly Akita I would have kept her...that's how sweet she is. 

Missing dog from the Meadows: "Smoke"

Meadows resident Joanna tells us that her dog got out of the yard on March 13 and hasn't returned.

UPDATE 10 PM: Andy was picked up by the Pasadena Humane Society along the 210 Freeway, and is now safely home.

 

Missing cat: Roo on Palm [UPDATE]

Mary writes:

We are quite heartbroken over here at [1200 block ]Palm Street because our beloved Roo, a female grey striped tabby, only 10 months old, got out and has been missing since yesterday (Saturday, March 12) morning.   She's a very curious cat and could have just found her way into someone's house.  She was last seen wearing an orange collar with a bell on it.  Our 9 year old daughter is very worried.  Please call at 626-798-2311 anytime if you have seen her.  Thank you so much!!!!  

UPDATE 3/15: Good news: 

Our little cat Roo has returned!  She found her way home and arrived at 4 am this morning.  Good thing she had a bell on her collar because that is how we heard her.  Thanks for posting about her being lost and thanks to everyone who helped in any way in getting her back.  -Mary

 

Found dog: pit bull mix [UPDATED: happy ending]

Pamela tells us they found a young female pit bull mix, mostly black with white marks around her chest and feet.  She followed Pamela and the dogs home, and Pasadena Humane Society says she has a microchip.  If she sounds familiar, check out her photo here:

http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=PSDN.A284655

She is at the Pasadena Humane Society (the story is that she was found on Washington/Hill -- don't ask, don't tell!)

UPDATE 2 PM: Pamela tells us the dog -- who had no collar, but did have a microchip -- has gone home to her rightful owners.

Pinning down Cholo

Cholo, the ten year old Australian shepherd, is still missing, but we've received some tantalizing clues -- a dog who resembles him was seen being walked by a couple in the neighborhood on two occasions.  If you see him, call his owner Gina on her cell, 626-733-3244. 

Lost dog: Looking for Cholo

Gina is looking for her elderly Australian shepherd:

Cholo left his Altadena backyard on Crawford between Calaveras and Alameda streets around 4:00 pm on Thursday, 2/17.  His absence was noted about 20 minutes later, but he could not be found anywhere. Have driven and walked the neigborhoods west of lake to the north and south, which was his usual walking area.

He is 10 years old, has never been out on his own before.  He is quite large for an Aussie, weighs about 75 lbs, is a "bue Merle" with distinctive black, gray white markings with some tan around his muzzle and forelegs, as the photos show. 

He has a black mask on one side of his face, with a checkerboard pattern on the top of his head. He was wearing a collar and tags. I have his license number for verification.

If anyone has any information, please call my home: 626-798-3208 or cell 626-683-3355

Black lab still looking for home

These folks are altogether too kind:  they found this black lab on Dec. 22, reported him to us the next day, and are STILL keeping him in hopes of locating his home: 

We still have the dog.  We've taken the dog to the vet for a chip check (he doesn't have one), made a found dog report at the Humane Society and have posted signs all along Lake Avenue.  We're hoping his owners find him soon.  Call 626.695.6162.

Missing dog: Jagger, last seen at top of Lake

Philip Coombs writes:

My son lost his puppy the afternoon of 12-23 and it has been very upsetting to the entire family.  Little Jagger was last seen the top of Lake, ten pounds, one year old, black curly hair.  He is a black poodle\schnauzer mix.  Any information, please call Mary at 626 399-3517 cell or 626 794-6437 home.

Philip says that his son removed the dog's collar because the dog appeared to be uncomfortable, just before the dog got out of the yard. Coombs lives in South Pasadena, and his son and the boy's mother live in Altadena, so Jagger could be ranging widely.

Two gorgeous and expensive dogs wandered into my yard today on Tola Avenue.  I don't want to say the breed as anyone claiming them must describe them to me first.  They are a matched pair and the female is very pregnant.  Waiting for animal control to come scan them for a chip.  They have collars and no tags, are well fed and groomed.  Can you write something: anyone missing dogs matching that much of the description should phone me.  Thanks.  Lots of lost dogs out there due to the thunder and lightning.  I'll keep these two 'til Monday or so, then take them to the shelter. 626-398-3470.

Dog hit, injured on E. Loma Alta

Reader P Goeders sent us this email tonight:

I live on E Loma Alta Dr between Lake and Fair Oaks.  A small tan male dog (chihuahua mix???) around 15 lbs. wearing a -tshirt or sweater with some kind of picture/cartoon on it just got hit by a car out in front of my house.  Dog dig not appear to have a collar on of any kind.  After he got hit, the driver stopped and she, my neighbor and I tried all tried to get him, but the dog took off running fast eastbound on Loma Alta and we lost track of him around Loma Alta Elementary.  Based on the hit, we can only guess that he *must* have internal injuries/head injuries of some kind but was just running out of adrenaline/shock.  We're also hoping he was running in the direction of home.

So, if anyone sees/knows of a critter matching this description, please know that he should get checked out by a vet ASAP to make sure that he's ok.

Brazen bunny theft: pet rabbit stolen

Reader Maureen has been rabbit-napped, she tells us.  On Sept 24, 8:30 PM, between Altadena Dr. and Palm:

A woman with short black hair walked on my property and stole my Cream and Gray bunny (Thumper).  The next door neighboor's daughters told her that he belonged to me and told the woman that you cannot just steal someone's rabbit!  The woman ignored the girls, got into her car and drove off.  Since the girls were in their back yard they could not get out front in time to see what kind of car it was. 

Problem 1 - he is in LOVE (bonded) too my other bunny and may stop eating.  For those that do not know that means death in rabbits, it is an emergency situation. 

Problem 2 - he bites.  I have been working with him and he has gotten much better.  But if he bites this person (yeah!) they may turn him loose or take him to the pound!  I work crazy hours and cannot get to the Baldwin Park shelter until Thursday.  And they will not give you info over the phone!  I am currently looking for a pic but he is cream/white body with gray ears, NEUTERED, 5 years old, about 4.5 lbs.  If anyone has any info please contact Maureen at eacc.mm@gmail.com.

Kitty -- BIG kitty -- looking for a home

Reader Suzanne has a big cat problem:

Unfortunately I need to find a new home for one of my kitties.  He is a 6 year old altered male and a Maine Coon cat (non-pedigreed).  That means he is a BIG BOY (about 18lbs.) Like all Maine Coon cats, he is very affectionate and loves people.  He will even go up to strangers after initial reluctance. so he is not a shy boy.  His name is Tiger and he will come when you call his name. 

Found dog

Another stray dog found:

He is white with black spots, possible mix of Chihuahua & Boston Terrier.  Scared, skinny (ribs showing), but wags his tail.  I offered him food & he ate a little bit.

 

Does anybody know who this dog belongs to?    

 

Please call me with any info.  I have him here at my house right now.
Thanks!

Found pet: parakeet!

Here's a new one, from reader Suzanne:

Here is another lost/found animal.  A bird this time.  A fluffy looking parakeet.  No picture yet as found just before dark.  Not afraid of people - got close enough to me to allow me to slip a small bird cage over it to capture.  Was not very happy in the small cage and twisted into contortions trying to get out.  So, I put him/her in an enclosed patio for the night.  Will try to get a picture if I can.  As I said, bird is more "fluffy" looking that the parakeets I am used to (maybe young?).  Also much more yellow than green.  Found on Crescent Drive in Altadena.  Call (626) 797-2831.
