Wednesday Update

If you've been checking for updates over the last few days and been disappointed that there have been none, this time it's not for lack of hustle bustle activity on the part of many volunteers! There's been so much activity that blog posts would need to be updated almost as soon as they are published. But here's the latest:

After establishing Leo's location first via a stray dog sighting called in to Arlington Animal Control, who were aware of Leo, then keeping him there via the set up and monitoring of a feeding station, we had a sighting by a volunteer. With 24 hours having passed since that sighting, we are bringing the lost pet tracker back to trail Leo's scent. (Leo's collar was found by volunteers, by the way, where it appeared to have gotten caught when he was trying to get water. The collar is now being used for a scent article.)

We are now seeking new contributions to cover the cost of the tracker, so please click on the icon at left for ARCBCR, Leo's rescue, organization, if you can be a part of a successful track by helping fund it.

Fingers crossed for a good report after tonight's track!

UPDATE WEDNESDAY EVENING: when our volunteer checked the camera this afternoon, it became more than clear that Leo had never left the area at all. Some of the MANY photos will be posted to the blog later.

This development resulted in cancellation of the track as it would no longer be necessary. So the trap is back in play tonight.

My last text message from the site volunteer had him hovering around the trap. I'm waiting for another update.

So, hopefully he goes in, and his time on the run ends. Cross your fingers, and gets your pets to cross their paws!
