Serving Brooklyn's Off-Leash Community

Lost Pets & Instant Adoption...   Primarily Brooklyn's Prospect Park & Vicinity Only Lassie got home by herself.... Aug 14 - September 4th: there may be a delay in posting lost/found dogs on this site though e-mail notification to our membership should be more or less normal. Sorry for the anxiety... 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 will be able to e-mail 600+ 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. Tips for getting back your lost dog. Go Directly to our Lost Dog/Found Dog/Adoption Postings 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. Adoption Check our "Found Dog" listings as well because if they prove to be abandoned animals, they may need fostering or adoption. 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 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...   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: even UPS and FedEx trucks 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 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.

This precious boy is 10 months old. Please contact Lawrence at 917.805.4506 8/15/10 Cat Found Park Slope Grey face, back; striped tail; white chest I found her in my back yard which is between 12th and 13th Streets and 5th and 6th Avenues. Very friendly.

He is very friendly, in good health (not quite housebroken), and probably close to a year or maybe a little less. (posters did the trick - he's home) . 8/06/10 Pit Bull For Adoption... Malik, a 2-yr old male, unaltered male pitbull was left tied to a street sign on a hot sunny June day in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, very malnourished and thin. I placed him in the NYC shelter system, but after 2 weeks he was still not adopted so I took him in. Since then, he has been neutered, gained a healthy amount of weight, house trained, and learned to walk on a leash (though he still gets very excited at seeing other dogs). He is friendly with other dogs (he is walked with a shy little beagle when I'm away at work), does not suffer separation anxiety, and is very quiet (he rarely, ever barks). He still needs to learn to focus on the leash holder on walks, but he generally has matured away from pulling and is a good dog to jog with. He needs some additional training, but he is an eager learner and has shown that he finds trainings fun. An ideal owner would be someone interested in an energetic dog, can take him jogging/running once in a while, and can absorb his boundless outdoor energy! There is an adoption fee of $175 which will be a donation to a local shelter.

I'm fostering Clifford – good tempered, playful, athletic, well-behaved, listens well, friendly to new people, other dogs and even good around children. He walks well and would make a good running buddy, enjoying the company of others in the park, but not distracted by them (well, he is Very Interested in squirrels). Clifford is sweet and affectionate, with slightly crossed eyes that make him look a little goofy and innocent. He hangs out in his crate quietly while I’m working on the computer and comes out to say hello when I take a break—quiet and calm in the home, mature but also playful when you want to be. He’ll play ball with you and loves pets, kisses and hugs. He sleeps quietly at night without budging, but sometimes snores... He would make a great family dog with older children? Clifford was found as a stray and is about 3 years old. He’s currently underweight at 47 lbs and I estimate will ultimately be about 55 lbs when he fills out. He’s got a big head and long legs, a handsome guy with white chest and white boots. Soon he’ll be neutered and is up to date with his shots. He’s already housebroken and, thankfully, is not a big-time marker (easy to walk)!

It was the contractor's dog) 5/18/10 Rottie Found in Crown Heights Found a youngish male Rottweiler (who we are calling Murph for now) wandering Classon Ave in Crown Heights this morning at around 6:30am. He was wearing only a choke chain collar - no tags of any kind. Murph appears to have been fairly well taken care of - healthy coat and eyes; solid, meaty physique. We doubt that he's been out of anyone's care for more than a day or two. (He's back home with his owners - a chip was the key, though it led to convoluted path that ended in East New York!) By and large, he is very docile, mellow and affectionate, but he does show some signs of aggression around adults, children and other dogs who exhibit fear, anxiety or hyper-activity (squealing and such), but is otherwise very friendly and quick to warm up. 5/13/10 Found Dog - Long Meadow Terrier found around 9:30 am Thursday morning in Long Meadow near Picnic House.

Marks Ave and Flatbush in Brooklyn on the evening of May 15th 2010. (She was boarding with a great family who contacted the owners when they saw the posting) 05/08/10 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. (He's found a home in Manhattan!) 5/1/10 Husky Lost In The Long Meadow... Gone missing Sat Morning- brown, 8 yr old female Huskey named Mia. If anyone finds her (Someone walked her over to a nearby Veterinarian's office of Prospect Park West and they traced her through a microchip.) . 4/14/10 Dog Missing - Boerum Hill... Our beloved Cocker Spaniel (Thompy) was taken from outside our local deli on State St and 3rd Avenue. He’s 4 years old, about 20lbs, has our phone number on his collar and is microchipped. 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.

(His name is now Reggie and he's livig 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) . 01/27/10 Adopt Beta and/or Cheddar Beta and Cheddar need a new home. They'd love to find one together, but they can be separated if necessary. Both are rescues and. Cheddar is a neutered orange tabby, also between 4 and 5 years old. He's a bit overweight...... (Adopted as a pair) 2/11/10 Adopt Sam? Sam is a sweet and smart, 7.5-year-old German Shepherd mix.  Sam has separation anxiety.  We believe that Sam can recover from this problem in the right home. The trainer who brought Sam to us when he lost his home has agreed to be part of Sam’s adoption package on a volunteer basis. He is an affectionate, walks nicely on leash, he is house trained, loves to play in Prospect Park (rolling in the grass and swimming at the dog beach).  He has good dog skills and seems to get along  with most dogs and is gentle with children.  He is a medium size dog (under 40 lbs.), and athletic dog who will enjoy exercise and play and looks younger than his years. (He was adopted to a farm upstate) 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 know as the Vale of Cashmere. She is home and her family is very, very happy) . 2/10/10 Where's Chunky? Am missing my cat as of I guess last night, probably someone took him in because of snow. His name is Chunky (Charlie) He hangs (short trips out in backyards of Carroll-President St closer to 6th Ave. He's microchiped. Got him back - owner found him trapped in a construction shack at a condo site 01/31/10 Lost Dog - Ditmas Park...

Toy Yorkie found 1/27/09 night on 9th St. between 5th and 6th Aves in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Black/brown/tan, male, approximately 2.5 pounds. He's definitely been out on the street for a while because he was starving and very boney, but doing much better now. His defining characteristic is that he is completely BLIND. No collar or microchip. (Posters did the trick. He's back home with his owners) 01/17/10 Adopt Remby...a.k.a Mr Cutie... Remby is a male, 6 year old, 17 pound Apricot Miniature Poodle, neutered, up to date with his shots, and in excellent health. Remby is a very smart and sweet guy who loves to play ball with you and cuddle up at other times. He's an excellent walker and is friendly to other dogs on the street. Remby has been living with 2 large dogs in his foster home and, although he doesn't directly interact with the.... (Adopted!) 01/10 Found Dog - Ditmas Park We found a dog yesterday in our neighborhood Ditmas Park. The dog is a female Borzoi, has a halter on, and seems well taken care of. (A Borzoi rescue in Michigan, based on finder's description of the dog, called a breeder in Texas, who called the owner in Brooklyn who came for the dog. ) 01/01/10 Adopt "Fulton".... 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. If someone could foster him until adoption that would be a big help. (found a home within a week) 09/16/09 Rosie The Cat Misssing... We just lost our beloved cat, Rosie. Can you please help us find her? Last seen at the TOREN Construction Site on Flatbush Avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Lost on Tuesday September 15, 2009 at 9:30PM.

Major is a 2 year old 35 pound German Shepherd mix (probably part Saluki & has the tongue of a Chow & a King Charles-type of tail). Found sleeping it off outside a 20th Street apartment house. 2/11/09 While in the park tonite with my lab, (on leash of course) i saw NYC's finest trying to 'catch' a little white poodle-ish looking dog walking rather briskly in Long Meadow ... they were on their loudspeaker to me thinking it was mine. 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... Her name is Baby, she is a spayed 16-month old female and has white legs with golden brown stripes on the back. She has a white spot on her back also that makes her stand out. She also has a black rim around her nostrils. (They found her. Neighborhood posters did the trick) 10/13/09 Lost Dog - Fort Greene Hi, my dog Ray, slipped out of the house last night in Fort Greene. Someone found him and took him to the police precinct at 6th avenue & carlton area. They wouldn't take him so they chained him to a fence and left. Someone then let him off as he was yelping. He is black, medium size, fairly thin. (They got him back after a couple of days - he had worked his way to Park Slope) . 10/9/09 Lost Dog - Park Slope Sam, chihuahua mix, longish body, wearing blue collar, microchiped OA11262E33 at 24 Hour Pet Watch.

He is wearing a brown and green collar with paw print pattern, but is apparently missing his tags. He is micro chipped. (Found at the Animal Care & Control. Note- microchip registration was inaccurate) . 07/26/09 Dognapping - Ft Geene... Laika, our much loved Husky, was taken from outside The Greene Grape Provisions on Friday 24th July at 8.50pm. She was taken by a man in a wheelchair, and the woman pushing him. He has dark hair, mid-forties, tanned or Hispanic....... They got her back - involving the media; contact through Brooklyn Paper's blog. The thinking by those who took her was that the dog was old and abandoned... Moral of the story? 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. The vet assumes she was abandoned but she’s so very sweet, that’s hard to imagine. Before we get too attached, I want to check that someone isn’t missing her. (They will be keeping her) 6/25/09 Lost Dog - Park Slope... Sierra is a labrador/whippet mix. She has a blonde coat that is slightly lighter around the shoulders, a white patch on her chest and stomach, a straight tail, and nails that are too long. She is 44 lbs. and 4 years old.

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
