Lost dog: Pitufo the cockapoo

OK, our record of pet recovery is pretty good these days -- let's see if we can send another puppy home -- this time a cockapoo named Pitufo:

Rita Ramirez emails us:

Our puppy is about 6 or 7 months. He was lost between Lake and El Molino on Sacramento St. He is light brown /cream color, about the size of a 8 size shoe of an adult,  very playful, will go with anyone as long as you rub his belly. We lost him on Mon., July 5, 2010 about 5 PM, as we were having a barbecue, accidentally the door was left open as we were bringing the stuff in the house.

 Call (626) 644-9976.

Found dog, near Coffee Gallery [Updated]

Donna Barnes-Roberts writes:

This is a picture of a dog that was seen ejected from a car in the vicinity of Morada and Lake Ave. in Aladena.  She is a real sweetie, not large, not neurotic.  We are not sure where she will be tomorrow, but if you are missing her, or want a sweet dog, check at The Coffee Gallery 398-7917, and the Barrista should know what has transpired regarding her. 

Update 7/9:  Derby is her name, and she's back home! Check out the comments.

Lost dog: whatever happened to Baby Jane?

Baby Jane was last seen at Mariposa and Santa Anita on Monday morning -- red collar, no tag -- if you find her, call Molly on her cellphone, 763-300-9653

Found dog on Sacramento/El Molino, now in shelter

Chris Hughes writes us:

Found sheep/collie mix dog picked up 7/3/2010 on Sacramento and El Molino by Baldwin Park animal control (626) 962-3577.  Dog is on their website #A4152928.  This is a kill facility and they will put this dog down next week on the 9th.  We all need to have active chips to avoid this happening to our dogs and cats.

Found dog July 4

Received an email from a reader that this dog wandered into a yard on Calavaras just west of Marengo last night: "very old and frightened, but friendly. Please let us know if you know who he lives with."

Contact Susan at 626 345 0575 or sforrest@bhs-inc.org

We've had several stories of frightened dogs being found this weekend, usually not far from home and quickly returned to their owners, but still -- your pets don't like Independence Day, keep 'em inside if you can next year!

Found cat near Farnsworth Park

Reader Deirdre found a cat today ... or the cat found her ..

Very sweet, vocal and affectionate young female cat. So affectionate, she must have been a dog in a previous life.

Found her meowing (loudly!) in my yard on Athens today (between Mt. Curve and Lake)

She dined on tuna and is now in my house. Help me! Help her!

Someone must be looking for her …. 626.794.9074

Found dog at Millard Canyon Campground

This one has been going around the newsgroups today -- this doggie obviously has a home, and needs to get back to it:

A female, tan, clipped Lhasa Apso-type small dog was found wandering up Chaney Trail alone yesterday afternoon (Wed. 16 June around 1:15pm). She has a pink collar and pink leash on, but no tags. 

We hope the owner of this friendly, well-mannered little dog is OK and looking for her. If you recognize this dog and/or know its owner, please contact Lonnie Fehr, the Millard Canyon Campground caretaker:

626 398-0674

cell 626 808-8204 (though reception in the canyon is poor)

lcalarea47@dslextreme.com

Lonnie is keeping the little dog safe for the time being, but we hope her owner(s) will step forward and claim her soon!

Found pet: pop goes the weasel

UPDATE 6/15: In light of the comments below, this headline has become very unfortunate!

Reader Leonor Mullis writes Sunday night:

We found this little fellow outside our front yard tonight. If you can post it on the blog... maybe somebody is looking for it. I am going to drop it off at the Pasadena Humane Society tomorrow as we have a dog and birds and I can't [have] him around the house. We are located near Loma Alta and Glenrose in Altadena.

The "little fellow" (whose picture didn't come through, unfortunately) (came through on a second attempt) is a ferret.  Hope she or she finds their home!

UPDATE 6/15: Re-sending the picture, Leonor writes back:

I feel so bad.. I did not know they may put him down in the shelter. I read the comments in the blog… I hope the Animal control people don’t kill him.

Found dogs

Some found dogs:

Mama cat needs her kittens!

Liesel writes us:

We took in a starving white cat yesterday and today the vet told us she has recently had kittens. We have searched our yard and can't find the nest. Not sure if this is up your alley at AltadenaBlog, but we'd love homeowners in the area within a few blocks of the Pine St/Santa Rosa Ave intersection to look around their garages and back yards for some abandoned kittens. Call 626-296-8371 to reunite with their improving mother.

Found dogs at Windsor

More dogs found!:

My husband and I found two beautiful and friendly dogs running loose up Windsor, several blocks south of Mountain View, today at around 4:00pm.  They were running in the middle of street and could have easily been hit.  They were chasing a bicyclist who seemed pretty nervous when we asked if these were his dogs (they were not), so we pulled over and corralled them. 

The mama dog had a chain collar with a broken black strap attached, but the male puppy had nothing.  They clearly were together, and both were extremely friendly and sweet. 

We couldn't take them home (we have cats), and not knowing what else to do, we dropped them off at the Sheriff's station on Altadena.  They station was kind enough to hold onto them until animal control could come pick them up.  I will post this information elsewhere as well, but as an avid reader of your wonderful blog, I have seen happy endings in Critterdena and am hopeful your readers may know where they belong.  These are the best pics we could take with my husband's phone. 

 

I hope they come from a good home.  I still shudder when I recall what another reader said about dog fighting rings in the area.  For what it's worth, they seemed pretty loved and I hope they get back to their (good) home safe and sound.

 

Thank you!

Found: friendly kitten @ Braeburn and Porter

Reader Diane says she found a kitten Wednesday night at the 1500 block of Braeburn near Porter, which she describes as an "adorably sweet kitty," a gray tabby with light calico markings and white belly, who gets along with her dog.  If it sounds like anyone you know, please give her a call at 791-4702.

More found animals [UPDATE]

UPDATE:  Tiny is home, thanks to our compadre Karin the Altadenahiker!  Check the comments for the full dish!

Two more before we call it a day:

From Joell:

A dog was found on Sacramento St close to El Molino Ave today with a black collar and no home.  A neighbor brought him to me to see if I could find the owner of this incredibly cute and friendly little dog.  I have attached 2 photos of him.  He looks very well loved and taken care of.  Can you help?
My number is 310-850-2029.

And: our first rabbit!:

This bunny has been spotted around the Altadena Dr. / Olive Avenue area, specifically at the corner of Olive and Palm this past week. 
The bunny is black and white, it looks like a Dutch breed.  I am sure this is someone's pet.

Email: gmills78@gmail.com  if you know who's pet this is.
