UPDATE! Mable is HOME! She was recovered at Metcalf park this afternoon. We were notified by a kind woman who had been helping out and it all came together. Mable looks well and healthy but mum will be booking a vet appt for this upcoming week along with a grooming. From our family to all of those who prayed, lended a hand or leash, support, and sent us Ring footage. We couldn’t feel more blessed by this community. You all are amazing! Thank you!

UPDATE: Mable was spotted this morning on the property of a home in Link, directly across from Little Ranches housing. The owner contacted us saying she was on the property. By the time we arrived (15-20 mins), she had trotted off. I then spotted her on Ermel, inside a fence walking the tree line. When I slowly stopped my vehicle, Mable trotted between the tree line and further on to the property of a yellow’ish colored home on the corner of Ermel and area. This was all between 0900-0930, July 11th. Mabel appears to be hanging out in this area since Thursday night. Surrounding property owners have given us contact, placed out water and have helped a lot, but Mabel is still not home.

Mable was spotted on a property in the corner of Rea and Ohio, this morning at 0800. We have been circling the area and nearby neighborhoods often. She is still not home. We appreciate everyone’s support, thank you.

Owners - Go back to the location where the dog went missing as the dog will usually circle back to the location where they first went missing eventually. Stay there - in one localized area and set up a scent station using a scent that the dog is familiar with - worn clothing or shoes from the owner. Hang that scent out high so that it can travel and guide the dog back to that area. Post fliers with your contact information and dogs picture in the location that the dog went missing --especially for those not on social media. If the dog is spotted the information can help provide what direction it was traveling. Check with local animal shelters in case he was picked up. Prayers your dog is found safely.

⭐ LOST PET — CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR OWNERS When a pet goes missing, especially in Colorado Springs, there are two urgent steps: go to the shelter in person and lock down the microchip. Here’s what people need to know. LOST Pets at the Pound (HSPPR) Please do not rely on the website — HSPPR has a long, documented history of pets being in the building but never appearing online. This is how families lose their animals there. Here’s what actually happens: • Pets on stray hold often never get photographed or uploaded. They sit in the back for days and never appear online. • Scared, stressed, or shut down pets are moved to the back and hidden. HSPPR labels them “behavioral,” and those pets are never posted online. • Pets who fail the behavior test are kept out of public view. Many are simply frightened or overwhelmed. They are not listed, and families have lost pets this way. • Mislabeling is extremely common. Wrong breed, wrong , wrong color — and if your pet is mislabeled, you will never find them by searching the website. • Injured or sick pets are kept in medical and not listed. You won’t see them online, and staff will not tell you over the phone. This is why you MUST go in person. Walk the stray hold kennels. Ask to see the pets in the back. Ask about medical and quarantine. Ask about pets who failed behavior. The website is not complete, and it never has been. Going in person is the only way to make sure your pet isn’t sitting there unlisted. ⭐ If Your Pet Is Microchipped Call your microchip company right now and ask them to put a “lost pet flag” or “alert” on the microchip. This does two things: 1. Locks the chip so no one can transfer ownership. 2. Notifies you immediately if the chip is scanned anywhere. Then ask the microchip company for these four things: 1. Confirm the chip is still registered to you If it’s not, ask them to reverse any unauthorized changes immediately. 2. Add a “lost pet” alert / hold / flag Every microchip company has a version of this. It prevents shelters, vets, rescues, or individuals from transferring ownership while the pet is missing. 3. Add ALL your contact numbers Ask them to add: • your main phone • backup phone • email • emergency contact This increases the chance someone reaches you the moment the pet is scanned. 4. Ask them to notify you immediately if the chip is scanned They can send: • text alerts • email alerts • phone calls This is how owners get reunited fast. ⭐ Extra Tip (Very Helpful) Ask the microchip company if they can send a broadcast alert to local shelters and vet clinics. Some companies do this automatically when a pet is marked as lost. ⭐ Why This Matters When a pet goes missing, the microchip company becomes the first line of defense. If someone finds the pet and tries to: • claim ownership • rehome it • surrender it • adopt it out • transfer the chip …the lost pet flag stops the transfer and forces the shelter/vet/rescue to contact the original owner. This is one of the strongest protections a pet owner has during a missing pet situation. ⭐ COPY AND PASTE MESSAGE TO SEND TO THE MICROCHIP COMPANY “Hello, I need to report my pet as missing and place a lost pet flag on the microchip. Please lock the chip so ownership cannot be transferred. Please confirm the chip is still registered to me, and reverse any unauthorized changes. Add all my contact numbers (phone, backup phone, email, emergency contact). Please notify me immediately if the chip is scanned anywhere. If possible, please send a broadcast alert to local shelters and vet clinics.”
