Serving Brooklyn's Off-Leash Community

Lost Pets & Instant Adoption... Primarily Brooklyn's Prospect Park & Vicinity Only Lassie got home by herself....   Holiday Note: From December 24th thru December 28th, we will be slow to post lost/found pets on this page. HOWEVER, we'll have no problem e-mailing your notices to over 700 FIDO Members who live near Prospect Park Fido Lost Dog at G-mail.com Found/Lose a Dog? E-mail your information including a cell phone number to fidolostdog@gmail.com or bipcar@gmail.com (both one and the same). We often pick up and post these messages while in the park via smartphone and resolve the situation quickly. How it works... We e-mail 700+ dog owners, the majority of whom live within a few miles of Prospect Park & Downtown Brooklyn. That's a lot of eyes and ears when it comes to lost/found dog posters. While FIDO is not a rescue organization, per se, we will do all that we can to help by posting notices on this page for a reasonable length of time. Note - there is no way to post your information directly. Go Directly to FIDO's Lost Dog/Found Dog/Adoption Postings Follow Up Tips Getting back your missing dog Additional ways to post a lost/found/stolen dogs... Stolen dog - extortion over phone... Brief word about lost cats... Before you lose your dog... Always have ID on your pet's collar at all times... Almost ALL the pets listed below had no ID! If you lose your tags – replace them immediately! Don't leave them on your "to do" list. Microchips are not infallible. Believe it or not the chip in your dog's body may not match the chip number on the paperwork so neither Home Again or AC&C will have the correct registration number. Local Adoption/Rescue Organizations Check their "Found Dog" listings as well because if these prove to be abandoned animals, they may need fostering or adoption as well. With persistence, these animals do finds loving homes. But you have to do the work! See our link: Local Adoption/Rescue/ Rescue Organizations/ Local Shelters/Spay-Neuter RESCUE/ADOPTION A warning.... While reputable shelters and adoption organizations attempt to pre-screen their animals, rescue/fostering/adoption requires additional diligence because some dogs may have serious behavioral problems that aren't evident at first glance; in particular AGGRESSION. Even an abandoned, emaciated dog, once it begins to feel fit, might display a behavior that puts all household members at risk. Good intentions on your part, may not count for anything.... If this proves to be the case, be prepared to do the work necessary to make the dog manageable; consult with a trainer before coming out to the park. See our rescue section for more tips on rescue.

Important Lost Dog Tips... Additional ways to post a lost/found/stolen dogs... Stolen dog - extortion over phone... Brief word about lost cats...     Posters... 80% of the time, a dog lost in Prospect Park attempts to head home. Post fliers along your route with HUGE letters that people can see from a car; BIG phone Numbers... Posters should be neon colored poster boards that really get peoples' attention. Include a description... When/Where the dog was lost Where you enter the park - dogs often head home Include a digital picture if you have one All Contact information Date your poster! You should also... Definitely post to FaceBook - Craig's List - Petfinders Local forum: brooklynian.com Lost Dog Resources Annex Stop a police car/sanitation vehicle: even UPS and FedEx trucks and give them your phone number in case someone finds your dog. They see posters on their routes. Visit Animal Care & Control Don't rely on a phone call! Due to cutbacks, they are now refusing to answer their phones even for adoption! Drive over to Animal Care & Control and look for your dog no matter what they say on the phone. In one case a neutered male was in their paperwork as a female. Know that you'll need proof of ownership; have to pay for mandatory chipping and also pay for a rabies shot unless you have your records. Stolen Dogs/Extortion... Often a posted reward does help get your dog back. Dogs stolen from parking meters here in Park Slope have been held until a reward is posted - it's a sad fact. Someone supposedly "finds your dog" and is extorting you for a bigger reward? Call the police. If you can make a case that you feel threatened then they should help you right away - assign a detective to the case. If the police seem not interested in helping you call 311 with the date of the call, the police station called and the name of the officer who refused to act. They will give you a complaint number and someone WILL get back to you. If your dog is stolen and no one approaches you for a reward, then in all likelihood the dog has been sold - possibly just a few neighborhoods over from where you live. Now is the time to pull out all the stops: go to the press! Nothing like the glare of publicity to make someone put pressure on someone to do the right thing/or rat on them Brief Word About Lost Cats Unlike dogs, cats who leave by the front door, generally don't go very far from home but they may remain reclusive nonetheless: hanging out in basement entrances; nearby construction sites or storage areas - any place where the hunting is good For the cat that escapes into the back yards, posters all the way around the block really helps! Hounds Needing Homes or Just Plain Lost... Dogs below are submitted by FIDO members or people visiting our site who have recently lost or found dogs.

Lost/Found Pets + Adoption... Most lost dogs had no ID on their collars for whatever reason - really this is a must! Pets for Adoption highlighted in Blue Follow-ups: Pets Reunited or Adopted. FIDO Note: Our Most Frequently Reported Abandoned Dog 02/13/11 Homeless Dog Living in Prospect Park This sizeable "Mastiff type boy" once belonged to a someone who named him Brooklyn; who left town and abandoned him under unfortunate circumstance over two years ago. He appears fit and seems to do nicely in all manner of weather. He melts away when approached but so far has appeared to pose no threat to dogs or owners. While he's even been known to play with an occasional off-leash dog it's definately not a good idea to try to put a leash on him yourself. Leave that to the professionals.somewhere in Leffert's Gardens when things get bad. So far, no one including Sean has been able to bring him in. It's fortunate that he's survived this long.... December 2011 note - Just of late, someone in the park swore that Brooklyn has an owner who lives on Prospect Park South West. Or is that he has home visiting priveleges.... -------------------- 02/01/12 Female German Shepherd spotted this morning Spotted 6:00 am this morning: - Female German Shepherd w/ collar, wandering park-side along Prospect Park Southwest, entered Prospect Park @ Vanderbilt St playground entrance, then exited again to Prospect Park SW. - Appeared thin but healthy, approx. 70 lb., tan & black - Had my dog w/ me, couldn't get close enough to other dog to see what was on her collar.

In June 2010 my family and I were stationed in Germany. I lefted Xena behind with a cousin just temporary til we got our housing on post. After getting housing I tried numerous times to contact my cousin and all he did was ignore my emails and calls. I come to find out from his daughter that sometime this year he lost my dog. He lives in richmond hill queens so I will assume xena was found out there if anyone picked her up. she does have a microchip through Avid number 135451320A. Xena is a older poodle and I rescue her in 2005 and shes been with me since. I’m so hoping a miracle comes around. she is all white with a full tail not crop. When she walks she limps sometime due to her knees locking in on her. She has some whitish in her eyes due to her losing some of her vision. she gets along with cats and dogs and great with anyone. if you have any poodles that look mine please scan her. I’m still in germany but my mother still resides in Newyork so she will always be able to go see a dog that u find that might match my description. Xena will recognize my mother. jamnina@hotmail.com 12/23/11 Found Cat-Sunset Park "I found a young black and white cat who only has half a tail in sunset park, brooklyn - vicinity of 43rd Street.

Red Hook Dog Rescue now has her. We feel that she has an owner somewhere. If anyone knows anything, has heard anything please let us know. thanks Harriet Red Hook Dog Rescue, harithspi@gmail.com 12/04/11 Lost Siamese Cat Seen- Red Hook My family and I spotted a possibly lost cat tonight at the corner of Van Brunt and Verona (near the Red Hook Lobster Pound). It was a young Siamese with dark face, ears, and tail (photo attached, the best we could do). It was hiding under a trailer in a parking lot, seemed very afraid of the traffic, and was meowing very loudly. Eventually it came out and let us pet it, and tried to follow us home for three blocks, meowing very insistently. I picked it up (it was very light) with the idea of taking it home until we could get it to a vet or a rescue group, but after initially settling in, it got scared and wriggled away and ran off. It might just be a stray or a neighborhood cat, but it didn't seem comfortable with the traffic and seemed to be seeking out human help. Anyway, I'd just like to pass this info along in case anyone is in a better position to help. Thanks, Jason Baluyut Passed to fidolostdog@gmail by Andrea Red Hook COmmunity Blog andiattack@gmail.com 12/03/11 Found Kitten - Park Slope A black and white kitten sporting a rhinestone studded red collar wandered into our hallway.

Her name is Brie and she's two and a half, bred by Kimani in New Jersey - exceptionally beautiful, sweet... and much too smart! I am aging, and twice she has pulled me down and injured me. She's accustomed to an hour or so in Prospect Park every morning. She needs an owner who will give her the exercise she needs, and who is strongly alpha, to handle her.

When Ben was dropped off at a New York City vet clinic, he was covered with open cuts, raw wounds and was badly bruised. Ben was obviously a victim of terrible abuse. The vet clinic treated Ben and has kept him safe and healthy for one full year. They can no longer keep him. He is a gorgeous 4-year-old Bull Terrier mix who is a happy boy who loves people. He gives a million kisses to the staff. Ben is loved deeply by the clinic vet techs because of his incredibly sweet and unassuming nature. He has a way of just melting into a kind and loving touch. The clinic has kept him away from other dogs with no dog socialization--so they have no idea how good he is with other dogs. When they take him for walks, he barks at other dogs but this may just want to meet them, play and be a dog. Who knows--he may be terrific with other dogs. One of the vet techs brought her small dog in and Ben paid him no mind. No idea about how he is with cats. The vet techs love him so and will offer sponsorship funds to a reputable rescue who can take him. They are willing to transport Contact: Stori or Monica at the vet clinic-- (212) 924-3311 OR Email:Stori.Reitzel@vcahospitals.com 10/25/11 Found Dog...Carroll Gardens I found the dog on Court Street in the Carroll Gardens section.

Unfortunately we did not put any of his tag on his collar that night. HE IS MICROCHIPPED. He has a healing scar on his back right leg. (final update: they have him back after a month - the story about the women claiming he was theirs was apparently bogus as well. Persistant placing of posters produced honest people who were given the puppy by the police officer in question) former update So we have a really disheartening update. A girl found our dog and called Sean's shelter to report. She even took pictures. Along the way she ran into the police and gave him to them. The police promised to take Winston to the shelter the next day. We contacted the girl who was super helpful and sent her pics to us, showing that indeed she had found Winston trying to cross eastern parkway to make his way home. She remembered the officer's name and we contacted him today. Apparently during the night three women (african american or Caribbean American) pulled up in an old model 4 door car with Virginia plates. They convinced the officer that he was their dog and he gave him to them. Please, we appeal to the community to return our puppy. We love and miss him. If you could post this update to FIDO hopefully someone will see him and be suspicious enough to contact us or the police at the 77th precinct who are familiar with the story. 7/24/11 Lost Dog- Windsor Terrace I lost my Jindo, her name is Ginger and she is old and deaf.

We’ve contacted the police, put posters up and will call the ACC, shelters and local vets. Any information would be appreciated. . (They got him back! Extreme media attention, perhaps FIDO membership mailings all did the trick. A phone tip led them to Red Hook where they found their dog being walked. Whether the person had purchased the dog in good faith or worse will never be known for sure. The microchip can't be argued with.) 4/24/10 Dog Found - Park Slope Large, yellowish Chow type. Finder is trying to trace the rabies tag but no other ID. Persistence pays off! They continued to walk the streets, hoping someone would stop them - and they did! "That's my sister's dog. She's visiting us!" 4/23/10 Found Female Pekinese brown/black face/white tummy Found at 4th St. and 6th Ave. Park Slope Noon on Friday 4/23 (finder's posters did the trick - owners weren't too far away!) . 5/01/10 Found In Cobble Hill Would like to post an abandoned puppy to your site that we would like to find a good parent for. We found her tied to a fence in Cobble hill, Brooklyn. She is a sweet as a button (about 4.5 month old) pitbull mix. She will go to the vet tomorrow to get a check up and get her necessary shots. We would like to find someone who can give her a good home so we don't have to bring her to a shelter. (Didn't take long- someone took her in!)   4/18/10 Maggie is missing... Maggie was last seen in Prospect Heights, vicinity of Vanderbilt & St Marks. She is a Nova Scotia Tolling Retriever, a small retriever-like dog, brown with white paws and chest. She has small ears and a bushy curly tail. She was wearing a rainbow colored scarf around her neck. (The people who found her, contacted the owners immediately upon receiving the FIDO Membership posting- Everyone is very happy) 03/30/10 Adopt John... A black & white puppy (perhaps a pit cross?) was found in a black garbage bag on the sidewalk in Bed Stuy. He was extremely malnourished & fearful, but with the proper care, he's alredy coming around. We named hm "John"! (His name is now Reggie and he's living happily in Bay Ridge) . . 03/21/10 Older Dog Found In Prospect Park this am Parks People found an older dog this morning and is being cared for by the Park Supervisor at the Skating Rink. (all better - they collected their dogggie from the skating rink) 03/04/10 Lost Dog Prospect Park This afternoon, our friend who is a neighborhood dog walker had one of his charges slip her collar in reaction to something that startled her. She is an ADOLESCENT BRINDLE (BROWN/BLACK STRIPED) PIT BULL NAMED MAGGIE. She is shy but very sweet – not mean or aggressive. This occurred about 2:30PM near the Lincoln Road side of the park, but she was spotted by a park patron near the Bandshell about a half hour later, and Josephine Pittari thought she might have spotted her near the ballfields a little later after that. Our worry is that she’s a pit without tags and someone will think she’s abandoned. (Sean Casey found her in Green-Wood cemetery) 03/03/10 Pit and a Poddle For Adoption From Jennifer DeFrank - City Pitties... My good friend Fran Vella-Marrone works for a small law firm in Bay Ridge called Connors and Sullivan. They specialize in Trusts and Estates, including companion animal trusts. Tragically, one of their clients, an older sick gentleman, passed away this week. He had not set up one of these trusts but left his 2 dogs in a will to an individual who cannot take them.(This is a complicated story - one of the dogs found a new home through a rescue group - the other died in rescue care, seemingly of stress) 01/18/10 Found Dog at Grand Army Plaza Papillon - young Meet Gizmo - a sweet papillon boy who was found wandering Prospect Park on a cold January morning. He was indeed quite skinny and dirty when first brought to Eva's Play Pups but after some TLC this little sweetheart has put on some weight and cleaned up really well. He is neutered and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. (Has a new home thanks to Eva's Play Pups) 02/22/10 Found Puppy on Prospect Park South West I found a puppy today, shepard, rott mix it looks like. 30 - 40 pounds. Very sweet. Neutered. Found in the vicinity of Uncle Louie G's/Cheese Steak Factory. There was no collar, hopefully a micro chip. If this sweet doggy is yours - he's safe and with Sean Casey. Hope he's reunited with those that love him. (Sean Casey - nyanimalrescue@yahoo.com - reports that the puppy was microchipped - he's back home with his owners) 2/14/10 Found Dog for adoption... I found Opal on February 2, on Cambridge Place, a few blocks from my apartment in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.  While she had clearly been outside for a few days and was out of sorts, she was instantly affectionate and quickly made herself at home.  I would love to keep her but she is a higher energy dog than my beagle Olive and it’s difficult to keep them both happy, especially on walks, since they move at different speeds. (She found a new home) 02/10/10 Lost Dog in Prospect Park... French Bulldog mix. This morning at 9:30 am we lost our dog in Prospect Park during the snow storm. Her name is Sugar, she is very friendly with people. Went missing near North Long Meadow near Grand Army Plaza. We tracked her as far as the Carousal where we then lost her. ID & Chipped. (After an extortion attempt; a major media blitz and almost a week after she went missing, Sugar was found by a good Samaritan tied to a branch in the section of the park known as the Vale of Cashmere. She is home and her family is very, very happy) . 2/17/09 Two For The Price Of One...FREE We are moving in just 2 weeks and have still not been able to find a good home for our Labs, Cookie and Coco. We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They were raised together and pine without each other. . See snopes.com (urban legends) for the whole story. Once a true appeal it has since morphed into a hoax. Looks like it started out as a true appeal - maybe from Maine; then Massachusetts; now Long Island. To quote someone on the internet: Looks like Cookie & Coco will enjoy an endless-loop of a life on the Internet.

What you should know about Adoption/Rescue/Rescue Organizations I am so happy to let you know that the Hamilton Dog House shelter received our knitted and crocheted crate liners for cats today. Everyone seems to be very appreciative, including Sean and the cats! The ladies from our Park Slope Knitting Circle worked inspiringly 2 Saturday afternoons, and all together we have made 10 crate liners ( all machine washable!). It was a pure joy working on this project, for everyone involved in it is an animal lover and a cat or a dog (or both!) owner! Olga
