lost pet dog on Pelican Course

[Boudicca]

I was very sad to see a little brown and white dog (Malteese, Shizhu (sp) type breed, wearing a harness, running loose at the 2nd hole at Pelican golf course. I attempted to entice/capture the poor thing, but it was very frightened and ran away. I told the ambassador, and was told the pet has been there for about a week.
I was very upset and could not forget the pet's frightened little face.
The ambassador had a bag of peanut crackers in an attempt to entice the dog and capture it. Does anyone have an update, or know if an owner has posted "lost dog" notice?

That's very sad. Has there been anything on the Villages' radio station about this?

[duffysmom]

The fact that the dog has remained in the same area for a week would indicate he's close to home. It's unfortunate we haven't heard about a lost dog. Is it possible his owner is nearby and lets him run loose? :confused:

[John_W]

Once up north I've saw a loose dog on a golf course so now I keep a dog leash in my golf bag and in my car in case that happens again. I never told anyone before but maybe that is something everyone should consider.

John I have been doing that for years and is a great suggestions. I have captured plenty of dogs this way and was able to locate owner 90% of the time.

OP perhaps you should make up some signs with your number and post them in the area where you saw the dog. Maybe the owner is looking for the dog and will see your signs. Most likely the dog will stay in that area, seeing as its been there for a week.

Last week I found a Pomeranian dog wandering down the street headed towards a busy intersection and was able to get the dog to come with me. I immediately made up signs and posted in local stores, gas stations, etc. The next day someone called and came and picked up their dog. It was a happy ending. I pray this small dog will be reunited with its owner soon.

[kittygilchrist]

what if he/she was dropped off there...?

[tippyclubb]

what if he/she was dropped off there...?

Well that is a possibility, but lets hope its not.

Shrandell maybe you can take some water and some dog food down to the area and leave it there?

No signs.

[Boudicca]

I did not have a leash, but I did have a belt, but the poor dog was so traumatized, it "slunk" low with its tail down, and it looked terrified (the belt was rolled up). No matter that I have dogs, and used "come to me" commands in a kind but firm voice, it simply took off. The Ambassador told me that its been there for a week - not simply let out by a resident, and they are trying to capture it. So sad. I played a horrible game, just thinking of the poor lost pet.

Sumter Animal Control Officer, Stacie, is sending an agent. If you see the little guy, please call Stacie at 352-569-1960. She suggests we call right away for situations like this.
Please if you don't know what to do about a stray or distressed animal, post and ask for help.

Kitty how awesome of you to contact animal control and having an agent go to the area. Good job!

Now lets hope this little dog will be reunited with its owner.

[surfergirlov]

My husband went to Pelican with our dog to try to rescue the stray dog. He saw the dog past the first green before the 2nd black tee by the wood line. He took our dog out of the golf cart and walked near the area where the dog was. The dog saw them, seemed curious, but as they got nearer to the dog the lost dog bounded back into the brush and they didn't see the dog anymore. The ambassador was told where my husband saw the dog and he will inform Animal Control when they come later this evening. Hopefully, the stray dog will be found before any harm comes to him.

[Boudicca]

surfergirlov. You saw the little dog precisely where I did, and I am so glad I posted on TOTV as I hoped someone would find a happy solution. Despite calling softly to the little fella, he/she san off with its tail down when I got too close. Hopefully Kitty's contact with Animal Control can effect a happy ending.

[kittygilchrist]

Villagers, please keep trying to catch the pup and calling in. The Co. officer has equal magic with YOU for a catch. The purpose of the post is not to tell anyone the job is done, but rather to say Everybody STEP UP!
Post here and let us know your outcomes. Anybody can contact the country club to ask for a try at catching the puppy, or so I was told by CC staff.

I'm really, really hoping to read that this poor frightened little doggie has been found, and is enjoying some food and a warm bed. Fingers crossed!

John W .. That's a great suggestion.

[tippyclubb]

If I were in TV I'd take some water and food and place it in the area the dog has been seen. Maybe someone could do that tomorrow?

I'm thousands of miles away and I can't stop thinking about this lost dog. Poor thing must be thirsty and hungry.

A lost little dog, is like a lost little child, alone and hungry they don't know who to trust.

But, I have one horrible thought. This dog is wearing a harness so must be a house pet, the Animal Control don't seem to have had a report from the owner.

So I am concerned that something may have happened to the owner.
I hope the dog has a tag that can trace it to an owner and that the owner is ok.

[PJUCTH]

Suprised no one has mentioned the radio station. They will announce it. Hate to think of it going to the county. My husband & I Found some beautiful Golden pups on Rainey Trail a few years back. Tried to help but we know what became of them. I know there is not a choice for them so overloaded. This was 2007 and still bothers me when I hear of missing Pups

Surfergirlov,
My husband and I were on the first hole of Pelican when your husband came up with your cute little doggie. It was a great idea, to bad it did not work. We kept looking for the lost dog but he must have gone deep in the brush. We left the course after it closed, but I did not see any activity. I hope they can catch him with food and a trap.

[OCsun]

Don't worry, the ambassador's will see to that. They carry water and most carry dog treats. At least the ones on the golf course behind our house.

[graciegirl]

On those two courses; Pelican and Heron there is a lot of protected area where you aren't supposed to go.

I thank you Sandra for drawing attention to this and hope that SOMEONE will find the little guy and reunite him/her with the owner.

[ewstanley]

My husband and I went to Pelican this morning about 6:30 and asked the starters and nobody seemed to know anything about the dog. We walked the first two tee boxes and didn't see anything and talked to a man walking a dog and he had not seen the dog. We looked around and called out hoping that we would see him but saw nothing. I hope that someone finds this little dog.

[Taltarzac725]

Please keep us informed about this pooch. I tried to rescue a loose dog in our neighborhood a year ago and he almost took a bite out of me when I tried to pick him up. It turned out he was just a dog that likes to wander away and explore anytime he can get away from his owners. The dog on Pelican does not sound like that one though but appears to be a dog that is very afraid of people probably because something bad happened recently.

[kittygilchrist]

Wonder if anybody reading this lives on Pelican Path or knows someone who does? It would help to rally the community. The area where the dog has been hanging out is partly woods and lots of homes.

Bless your heart. That was very compassionate. :thumbup:

[CFrance]

I wonder if someone has a live trap they could put out there with some food. Might catch something else, but might catch the dog.

[BarryRX]

Sure hope he's found soon. I've personally seen bobcats on pelican. We need to get this little guy to a safe place.

[kittygilchrist]

I went to the course this morning and told a few golfers about the dog. Not very effective way to go about a solution. Talked to Sumter animal control in the afternoon. They are supposed call back with an update.

Shrandell, I didn't think at least this post was spiteful. I for one would rather take other measures than calling a kill facility to come get a dog. Plus the poster listed an alternative, no-kill facility.

The next poster, saying it's better than what a gator would do... well, that wasn't a very nice way to put it, and maybe that was spiteful. But I did not think the thread took a nasty turn, except for maybe the post about the gator.

I found Warren's post to be helpful and informative. JMO

What happened to the dog???

We adopted a dog last month that was found wandering The Villages in mid July. They had her from mid July until we adopted her. I think that you might be mistaken. My dog's intake form states that she was picked up mid July with a retractable leash in The Villages. The Humane Society made her Pet of the Week in the Daily Sun Newspaper and took her to several adoption events before we adopted her. I think that they really try to help adopt out all of their animals. I wish that I could have adopted all of the animals at the Sumter Humane Society.

Any new developments on the pooch? The Villages radio station seems to be taking the stance that they do not report on abandoned dogs. This could be an abandoned dog, unfortunately.

No one k owns this dog was abandoned . The radio station requires the dog be in someone's possession before they will announce anything so people aren't running around looking for the dog. Not my rules - theirs.

Hi GG: While I protest anyone's mistreatment of an animal I am of the opinion that a dog is just a dog. My use of schadenfreude would be reserved for entanglements among human beings (ie glad to see my neighbor is suffering.......because I never liked the guy)

[CFrance]

I agree that is a very strange policy. And from what I have heard on the Villages radio station in the past they must have changed their policy because they have announced a lost dog in some area before.

So actually what it amounts to is that they are only announcing "found" dogs. If you lost a dog, would they announce that? As opposed to "there is a loose dog running around."

[gomoho]

Don't shoot the messenger - call them and see if you get a better explanation. I agree - if someone is missing their dog they would want a clue where to go look.:doggie:

I had heard lost dogs before being announced on the Villages' radio station. Maybe the lawyers got involved and they are afraid someone might go into some weeds with a rattlesnake or water moccasin in them.

Can you imagine the warnings that might come after such a message? "The Villages absolves itself of any liability due to misfortunes which might occur to searchers for lost canines. This is not limited to those foreseeable misfortunes by a reasonable person and may include falling into culverts, wrestling with alligators, falling into gopher tortoise holes, twisting your ankle, pygmy rattlesnake bites, infections through contaminated water, and blah, blah, blah...."

I thought maybe they could say a lost dog wearing a harness has been seen loose in the area of such-and-such for x amount of days. If you see or catch this dog please call (the person who made the report to the radio station) at the following number... or the radio station for the person's number, or however they handle that.

Gracie, I think rubicon is addressing a prior post concerning who(m?) you should call to come out and try to catch the stray dog. I think he is saying that there is a possibility that this particular org. could possibly euthanize the dog under certain circumstances, whereas Sumter would not.

Or that was my take on his post. I could be wrong. About the two orgs, too. (Have I covered my a** enough here?)

I just want the dog to be found and reunited with it's owner, and another thing that worries me is that the dog's owner hasn't put out an alarm. The owner could be sick or something. I don't want the dog euthanized. I will book Heron to play next week with Sweetie and take some dog treats if we don't hear anything.

People care so much about pets here. I think that is beautiful.

And C. There isn't ANYTHING you could do to need to cover any part of you in my book.

The dog would be in Sumter so the Sumter Humane Society, that would be their district? So the Marion Humane Society couldn't be called?

Thanks for posting. Does it look like it is getting food from somewhere? I would think that a pooch that has been out on its own for a long time would be getting quite weak from loss of its usually source of food. My dog hunts moles, gophers and voles but only gets one every year or so. And one of these had been poisoned probably as it was just on the edge of a golf course and only about 1/2 and inch underground.

Or perhaps some kind strangers took him into their home. And right now he is enjoying being brushed and petted after eating a large dinner followed by a dog treat or two.

I agree with Barefoot. I so hope someone took him in, or he found his way home! We just lost our little dog after 15 years and can't convince my husband we need a new one just yet. It still hurts too much.

You have my sympathy.
We lost our dog this past summer, he would have been 16 years old this month. We thought that we would never get another dog. My husband and I took Henry's things to the Humane Society and donated everything. My husband said we should at least look at the dogs and we filled out an application for a two year old dog that was found wandering The Villages. She is so loyal and it was meant to be that she found a home with us. I still miss our Henry but having Sadie here has really helped. I think that Henry would be happy that we rescued another just like we rescued him.

We have looked several times for this little dog and have not seen him. I hope that he is safe. We drove around Westchester Way and talked to people out walking dogs and nobody that we talked with has seen the dog.

People should definitely keep any eye out for it in case it survived over this probably very rough week for the pooch.

Something good has happened to that pup. Not everyone reads this forum. It has all happened without our knowledge, but that little guy is snuggled up close to someone who loves him right this minute.

Even if it is across a rainbow bridge.

Amen.

I keep thinking of those poor girls in Cleveland who were locked in that madman's house for all those years. Many had given up hope on those girls. Well, they were found alive! Please don't fantasize about this dog's whereabouts. This is real and that little dog may still be in need of our help. Continue to keep a watchful eye.
