Serving Brooklyn's Off-Leash Community

Lost Pets & Instant Adoption...   Primarily Brooklyn's Prospect Park & Vicinity Only Lassie got home by herself.... Found/Lose A Dog? E-mail me your information: bipcar@gmail.com. I will be able to e-mail 500+ dog owners, the majority of whom live in the vicinity of downtown Brooklyn. While FIDO is not a rescue organization, per se, we will do all that we can to help by posting notices for a reasonable length of time. Note - there is no way to post your information directly Go Directly to our Lost Dog/Found Dog/Adoption Postings Rescue, Adoption and Local Shelters... what you should know! You can see by the "adopted" comments below in the "Resolved Section" that, with persistence, these animals do finds loving homes. But you have to do the work! See our link: Adoption/Rescue/ Rescue Organizations/ Local Shelters/Spay-Neuter Before you lose your dog... If you lose your tags – replace them immediately! Don't leave them on your "to do" list. Microchips are not infallible. Double check for sloppy paperwork. 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.

Important Stuff First ...   Finding/Posting a Lost/Found/Stolen Dog! 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 Craig's List - Petfinders Local forum: brooklynian.com Lost Dog Resources Annex Stop a police car/sanitation vehicle and give them your phone number in case someone finds your dog Visit Animal Care & Control Don't rely on a phone call! 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 Big reward? Police seem not interested in helping you with this problem? 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 the caller poses a threat to you, you will be assigned help. If all else fails, pull out all the stops: go to the press! Nothing like the glare of publicity to make someone release a seized dog.   ADOPTION One more word to the wise... 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. 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. 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 ... Pets reunited or Adopted. 03/10/10 Loose Dog Spotted in Sunset Park Person saw a loose dog on 55th street and 6th ave. The dog was white, shaggy and looked like a chow and Eskimo mix. He or she was large, with long hair and seemed to be lost. It was about 8:40 this morning. He or she looked relatively clean and well fed, but hungry. If you have anyone who live in that area who can look out for the dog, and could grab him or her to bring him or her to a vet to get scanned. 03/10/10 Lost Yorkie - I lost my dog Monday afternoon around Washington ave/Atlantic ave.. He's a male yorkie black and brown..goes by the name of Choco..I've tried calling everywhere and I'm running out of options..I feel helpless..I would greatly appreciate any help or additional suggestions Any information please call: 347 8938925. 03/08/10 Meet Gregory... (Greg for short) a sweet 6 month old Shepherd/Cattle dog mix. He was rescued by a kind Mighty Mutts volunteer the day he was supposed to get put to sleep at the local shelter. How anyone could put a dog this sweet to sleep is a shock. Why anyone gave him up is another. Gregory gets along great with other dogs (he loves to play with his two doggy buddies in his foster home) and seems to find every person he meets an excuse to jump for joy. After only two days he already knows how to sit and shake hands (boy he's smart!). Gregory now weighs 35 pounds or so and will get up to 55 when he is full grown. Won't you give this wonderful, friendly, and happy dog his forever home? contact: rherskovitz@yahoo.com 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 Want a Rescue Spinone? Once unheard of on rescue pages, there are two presently available, originally from a Louisiana shelter. While not in the best of shape, they are a hardy breed and once recovered, make for a mellow companion. For information on these two, email Patti Johnson in Indiana (Spinone breeder & rescue) at: indiana.spinone@gmail.com 3/03/10 Lost Toy Pomeranian - Bay Ridge... Elderly owner with alzheimers.

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. They are currently on a hold at the Manhattan ACC until Fran releases them. We really want to see them go to a home, even if it's not together. I am not (yet) a New Hope parter and cannot pull these dogs. Ironically this client gave all of us his money to humane groups like the ASPCA, but the ACC wants to put down the pit mix (of course-they say it's b/c of his age... but they will have "no trouble" finding a home for the poodle... If one of you can pull these dogs, please call Fran right away at w. 718-238-6500. If you don't reach her there, try her on her cell 347-866-4945. She does not check email often, but her email address is fvellamarrone@aol.com. If you need more info on them call Pamela Victor at the ACC 212-722-7473. I do not have photos. Snowball 3yo Female, unaltered, poodle mix, medium sized, NO CONCERN. A849579 Pricella 9yo female? (ACC referred to dog as "he" but look at name...), pit bull mix, 9yo, unaltered, MILD A849580 03/01/10 Adopt Java... Am looking for a permanent home for my wonderful dog, Java. Java is a three-year-old, forty pound, brindle Pitbull mix. She is crate trained, house broken, and is good walking on her leash. She eats twice a day, and does well with a solid routine and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. While she does have some spurts of energy throughout the day, she is generally calm and loves to snuggle up on the couch and sleep in the bed at night (though she is crated during the day, if no one is home, so she doesn’t get into trouble). She does not do so well with other dogs, so it would be important for her to be the only pet in your household. You can reach me by email pkbradsh@gmail.com or telephone (401) 808 9332 with any questions or with general interest. 02/25/10 LOST CAT – ORANGE TABBY.... Lost on Monday, February 22nd, around 11:30 am on 21st st. between 6th and 7th ave in Brooklyn. His name is Mowgli but he was not wearing a collar. He has a slightly bald patch on the right side of his abdomen. He is skittish and has a slight tremor, so he is likely hiding.   Contact: celia.laskey@gmail.com (203) 414-0504 or (412) 913-5275 01/18/10 Found Dog at Grand Army Plaza Gizmo 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. He LOVES other dogs and all people and is quite the outdoors man for such a little guy! He is very well behaved but not yet housebroken so anyone who would like to adopt Gizmo has to take the time to teach him proper bathroom habits. If you would like to adopt Gizmo, please e-mail Eva at info@evasplaypups.com. 2/15/10 Standard Poodle For Adoption... A friend of mine is looking for a home for his 1 year old, 50 lb., black standard poodle named R.J. R.J. is as sweet a dog as you can imagine - full of love for all - very well trained and super cute. What happened is this - his owner bought an apartment a few months ago in a building with an unenforced rule disallowing dogs over 20 lbs. This week, a large dog in the building (not R.J.) bit a small dog in the building - and the building has decided to strictly enforce the rule and has informed R.J.'s owner that R.J. needs to be out basically immediately. This is a GREAT dog. He actually is the nephew of my dog and they are just really sweet fun calm adoreable pets. If you are interested in adopting him - or of fostering him til a new home can be found - please let me know and I will put you in touch with his owner directly. Contact: Nicole Barnum, Esq. Barnum & Reyes, P.C. 30 Vesey Street, 2nd Floor New York, NY 10007 T: (212) 966-3761 02/07/10 Found Pomeranian: Bed Stuy / Clinton hill.., We found a pomeranian Bed Stuy / Clinton hill area.

I'm a local dog owner who found a cat mewing for a long time in the yard of our building on 7th ave and Berkeley last night in Park SLope, February 3. She is a young, slender, white female with some markings. She is very friendly, seems socialized and is very comfortable with my dog. Contact: reganwood1@gmail.com 02/02/10 Adopt Tiger... Tiger, a sweet Akita mix, age 3, needs a new loving home because his guardian is very ill and can no longer care for him. He needs a suburban or rural home with a fenced yard where he can exercise/play, and live in the house with his family. His guardian didn’t leash train him, and being large, he isn’t skilled in leash walking, so he will be happy getting his exercise in the yard. He can learn to walk better once in this type of home. Tiger loves petting and being cuddled, knows "sit" like an expert, takes treats gently from your hand, and is smart enough to learn more commands and tricks. He will do best as the only pet in the family, and kids should be 12 and over due to his size. He becomes very loyal to his family and will make a great dog for people who like big, cuddly and active dogs. Please contact Joyce at JoyceLFriedman@hotmail.comor 917-468-0487 of the PETS FOR LIFE NYC program 02/02/10 Adopt Kody.... Kody is adorable Pit Bull, black and white, totally housetrained, and goes right into his crate when asked. He is being neutered. Kody would do extremely well in a home with a woman - he loves women. He warms right up to them, and is a huge snugglebug. He likes to cuddle and lie down under the covers, and belly rubs are his favorite pastime. He is also quite protective of the person he loves, and would make a great companion for a woman who lives alone. We have not done a thorough dog-test with him, but he played with a dog on the street today quite nicely. We believe that he will be ok with dogs, but should meet the dog in the home where he is going, on neutral territory, before moving in. Please contact Amy (sonicalc727@aol.com) The New York City Pit Bull Rescue Group 01/25/10 Shiatsu Found in BedStuy... A friend found this cute little fellow in Bedstuy on about 3am Sunday morning on Madison and Stuyvesant. He appears to be 6-8 months old and in good health. We've taken him to the groomer for a flea bath and the vet for parvo and bordatella. He has a healing wound on his tail and right under his lip. He may have been in a skirmish. He's otherwise quite adorable, well-behaved and housebroken (he used wee wee pad provided). We already have friends inquiring to adopt but we would like to give the owner's an opportunity to step forward. Owner needs to be able to identify leash and harness he was found wearing.

Submitted to FIDO Family has to make a difficult decision that it is time to surrender thier boxer. They have a busy home with four children. She’s having issues w/ her toddler son and her boxer, who both love to play with the same toys. She doesn’t trust Mocha, because she did snap at her father’s hand when he tried to take one of the items away, and the same situation happened two years ago. Mocha is a good dog and, as you can see, a beautiful boxer. However, I don’t think she would be a good dog for small children. She is turning 5 this month. Please pass this along to anyone you know (without small children) who might consider taking in Mocha.

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)   01/27/10 Adopt Beta and/or Cheddar Beta and Cheddar need a new home.

He was scheduled to be euthanized at the local shelter, but was rescued and resided at a local veterinary hospital for a few weeks. Now I'm having him privately boarded as a temporary measure.

They then went over the bridge on the path towards the Nethermead and stopped there got out of their police car, trying to coax it to them. Sean Casey Animal Rescue has the dog and they are going to restore her to health and find her a new home. He says she was obviously abandoned and neglected medically. 11/07/09 Lost Cat - Park Slope...

Stand by your dog - while someone else does the shopping 6/29/09 Abandoned Dog? We found this adorable dog leashed in front of an unused storefront next to Animal Kind Vet Hospital on 7th Avenue & 11th St. in Brooklyn. The vets checked her for a microchip, found none.

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.
