Amherst 3 Musketeers: Stray Dog Recovery are you the one attending to coordinate his rescue? Maybe you could update this post and explain it more if so. People are not understanding.

URGENT! THERE IS A GROUP trying to get him. From a recent post…IF YOU CARE THEN READ: There is a VERY organized team of people who are doing EVERYTHING possible to help this dog. If you want to help then you can reach out regarding how to join the team or donate money via go fund me. OTHERWISE BACK OFF. This baby is in BAD shape and he is TERRIFIED. ANY EFFORTS TO CHASE HIM DOWN WILL ONLY CAUSE HARM. PLEASE 🛑 There is simply too much to post but the team is LITERALLY working 24hours a day to get Champ help. Thus far we have: Used SKYWALKER DRONE SERVICE to locate and track Champ. Contacted local property owners to obtain permission to be on their property. CONSTANT monitoring of all trail cameras in the vicinity. Purchased and installed more trail cameras and placed them in the areas where he has been spotted. Contacted animal control to keep them in the loop. Put a Missy Trap in place. Purchased SPECIAL food and set up feeding stations that are CONSTANTLY monitored. Posted flyers Set up a go fund me. And even secured possible foster for when he’s ready. PLEASE DO AS WE ASK. YOU CANNOT CHASE THIS DOG. HE WILL LEAVE THE AREA AND IF HE DOES HE WILL DIE. I AM A PLEASANT PERSON BUT I ALSO MEAN BUSINESS. A DOGS LIFE IS AT RISK. I love and thank everyone concerned. Your hearts are big but help the right way. Much love

I think you need to rewrite the explanation on this post to clarify you are trying to find him to get him safe as he’s a stray that was spotted…. You will receive much more positive feedback because your post is totally unclear. As to what this situation is. Thanks for trying to help this guy, he looks very sad.
