Jane Brackman tells us this morning:
We have someone's large green pet parrot in a tree in our yard. This is a large bird with red on the head and a large yellow beak. He is alone and seems lost.
I don't have a photo. I am trying to get the bird to come into my yard to eat.
If he sounds familiar, give her a call at 626-794-0700.
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
"Sophie"'s owners are looking for her: she's a sable sheltie sheepdog, last seen in the vicinity of Midwick and Allen on Jan. 31. A reward is offered -- call 798-3264.
UPDATE: Sophie's folks say she's back home, with "many thanks to the sheltie rescue team!"
A beagle mix puppy was found Sunday, Jan. 22, at the corner of Altadena Drive and Lincoln Avenue -- described as "The boy is supercute and supersweet."
Right now, he's at the Pasadena Humane Society: ID#A301028.
UPDATE 1/24: He's home now.
We've been scoring pretty good with getting pets to their homes lately, let's keep it up! Muriel is missing her kitty, TIgger, a short hair male tabby with a blue collar, lost hear Altadena Drive and Lake Avenue on Friday the 13th. Phone 626 319 0749.
Reader fjohn has been taking care of this dog for a couple of days, and if she doesn't go home, she'll have to go to a shelter soon. Call 626-797-9615.
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.
Maggie found a dog, which is now at the Baldwin Park shelter:
This is a photo of the sweet dog we found Monday night, Dec. 26 at 7 PM. She was running north on Maiden Lane near New York Ave. She was wearing a red collar with black trim and no tags. She has a very nice disposition. She is currently at the LA County Baldwin Park Shelter. They have her picture posted on the County website: animalcare.lacounty.gov/locationbycity.asp.
UPDATE 12/29: Natasha's home. Check the comments.
Bob Mann writes us:
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.
Cody's owner lives in South Pasadena now, but lived in Altadena for 14 years and says his dog loves Eaton Canyon and may be on his way there. If you see him, call 323-255-7911.
We received this message of a girl who's away from home:
The attached photo is of a female pit bull terrier who was found on E. Loma Alta Drive near Zane Grey Terrace in Altadena.
Reader Shannon says that this guy -- who acts pretty domestic -- is living under the house at 478 Wapello Street. He hasn't been caught so far, but he allows himself to be fed, and if anybody's looking for him, there he is ...
We have another lost one out there:
He got out yesterday around 11:30 when the gardener left the gate open. My neighbors are out looking for him and I offered to send a copy of their flyer to AltadenaBlog. In the meantime please call 791-8319 if you see him...
UPDATE: He's home now.
Lara lost a cat:
Rook is a brown shorthair cat with black stripes. He is an indoor cat who goes outside during the day sometimes. He always comes home at night. He has been missing since the afternoon of 12/8/2011. He is loved very much and we miss him!!!! He was last seen at our home near Raymond and Palm. If you have seen him, PLEASE contact me at (626) 283-9014 or lara.m.lund@gmail.com
UPDATE: Rook apparently wasn't lost, he was out -- did whatever he had to do overnight, and decided to come home. Probably ran out of money ...
The Shaffers are missing their kitty, who we hope will blow back home:
Our cat Alex is an orange American shorthair with white swirls on his side. He is a medium sized outdoor cat that sleeps inside at night. He is very sweet and loves people. The last we saw of him was on Wednesday Nov. 30th at around 6 pm. He lived on Anna Maria Street which is near the top of Lake Avenue. Please contact us at (626)-590-0945 or jennifer.sheffer@abbott.com if you have any information relating to the whereabouts.
Carissa writes that she's missing her kitty:
My cat, Dino, is a lean, short-haired, white kitty with black spots. He is very fast and very clever and has been missing from our home on Fair Oaks near Loma Alta since Friday, Nov, 11th. Dino is an indoor/outdoor cat who wanders during the day and always sleeps at home each night. Any news is greatly appreciated. 626-808-2483 or revcarissa@gmail.com.
The home of the husky that was found last week hasn't been identified, so he's available to adopt:
James Romero
UPDATE 6 PM: James says the dog has found a new home.
Two women living near Altadena Drive/Glenrose are missing their puppy:
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.
Reader Kim is missing her cat:
Reader Tonya found a black and grey tabby cat with a white chest hiding in a tree at the hairpin turn at Canyon Crest Road, near the Meadows. Please call 626.993.4383 if you can get Kitty home.
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.
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
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
Leslie
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.
Day writes us about a dog, found Sunday afternoon in the Meadows:
Meadows resident Joanna tells us that her dog got out of the yard on March 13 and hasn't returned.
He is a three year old black and white husky with blue eyes. He is friendly and will answer to the name "Smoke". She tells us that there are posters out and that he has been seen in the area north of Loma Alta St. and Glenrose.
Please call (626) 319-6609 if you can help her out.
Amanda emails:
My dog Andy broke out of the yard during a thunder clap 3/20/11 at around 8:30 am. He was sighted by Loma Alta Park. He weights 95 lbs and is blue merle in color. He has one blue eye and a tag with my phone number. He is friendly but may be hard to catch. My phone number is 213-700-3520
UPDATE 10 PM: Andy was picked up by the Pasadena Humane Society along the 210 Freeway, and is now safely home.
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
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.
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
Another missing dog, this time around Alzada. Susan writes:
MiniMe has still not returned. She is a miniature pincher but is unique and doesn’t fit the min-pin mold. She is old but tuff; has only one good eye and no tail. If you see her please give me a shout – 626.222.5072 or Trista at 626.419.7045. Here’s a picture of her on her boogie board.
We start off our Friday with a happy story: We're been working on this lost dog for almost a month -- and after such a long sojourn, he's back homel. Marcella writes us:
Hello
I would like to send out a thank you to the community. In helping us in trying to find our "LITTLE OLD MAN". We have been blessed someone called us today and wouldn't you know it was him. The persistence has paid off. I just wanted to say thank you and the bloggers. Our family has been blessed with our little doggy. And a newborn on Sunday -- I am an official grandma. Thank you again.
Oldman went missing Dec. 7 at the McDonald's at Lincoln and Woodbury, and we've featured him before. His family says they've gotten some leads on him, but he's not home yet. They hope whoever has him will get him home to the people who miss him. Call 626-428-9580.
We received this alert from a reader who's missing their tripod tabby:
Missing cat, S'mores- Female long haired calico tabby- brown, orange, black, only has 3 legs
S'mores was last seen at home, 100 block of Mountain View Street by Charles White Park, and has been missing since Wednesday morning, 1/5/2011. The formerly feral cat only has three (3) legs and is skittish and fearful of people and could possibly be hiding or trapped. She is extremely fluffy and was not wearing a collar. Please check your trees, garages, and streets. If anyone has seen or has any info regarding a cat matching this description, please contact me at 626-421-6148 at any time of day or email n.widick@yahoo.com. My dog and I miss her desperately.
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.
This guy's been missing for awhile: hope we can find him! Marcella writes:
[W]e lost our family dog on Dec. 7 @ McDonalds Woodbury/Lincoln. We have posted flyers around this area. And thanks to our pet friendly Pasadena/Altadena neighbors. We have gotten calls on our little dog. I have been so blessed with kind people telling us not to give up hope. His name is OLDMAN… long story to his name. He brings so much joy to our lives. Marcella & family: 626-428-9580.
