WagginTails Search & Rescue

🌟 May Recovery Highlight 🌟

May kept our team moving with a wide variety of cases, from lost family pets to strays, newly adopted dogs, and dogs displaced while away from home. 🐾

Throughout the month, 29 dogs were safely recovered through a combination of strategic recovery efforts, community involvement, and dedicated volunteers. Each case presented its own unique circumstances, but every dog was ultimately brought to safety.

In addition to hands-on recoveries, we continued assisting families by providing individualized guidance, recovery planning, and access to our toolbox of proven lost dog recovery resources. Our goal remains the same with every case: helping families make informed decisions that give their dog the best opportunity to return home safely.

🌎 Communities We Assisted This Month:
• Troutdale • St. John’s • Colton • Tigard • Clatskanie • Happy Valley • N/NE/SE/NW/SW Portland
• Beaverton • Gales Creek • Aumsville • Newberg • Sandy • Wilsonville • Milwaukie • Sherwood • Banks

✨ Recovery Breakdown:
🐾 12 dogs lost from home
🐾 7 stray dogs brought to safety
🐾 3 dogs escaped while with a sitter
🐾 1 wilderness recovery
🐾 4 dogs lost after jumping from vehicles, during transport, or while away from home
🐾 2 newly adopted dogs became lost

💛 None of these recoveries happen alone. Thank you to the families who trusted the process, the community members who reported sightings, and our dedicated volunteers who spent countless hours helping bring these dogs to safety.

Together, we continue proving that every dog deserves a chance to make it home. 🐾✨

COLTON, OR

🔷5/30/26 safely trapped
https://maps.app.goo.gl/6f21eFZyrJrrT4C5A?g_st=ice

🔷Seen in area of S Elwood Rd for at least a week

🔺 Possible McNab mix
🔺 White with black markings
🔺 Male, unaltered
🔺 No microchip
🔺Found report filed Clackamas County
🔺Currently being fostered by Good Samaritan to decompress

Yesterday, May 29, we received a request from Katie to help with a reportedly dumped dog in Colton. She and several neighbors had been seeing this boy for at least a week along S. Elwood Rd.

Our team headed out and set a trap. They stayed until midnight, but he never made an appearance, so they secured the trap open with food inside and left it overnight in hopes he would return.

Just after 5:00 a.m., he was spotted back at the trap. Our team returned at 8:30 a.m. to set it, and by 9:40 a.m. he was safely contained. 🎉

A Good Samaritan has graciously offered to foster him while he decompresses and we work to determine his next steps.

A huge thank you to Katie and the entire Colton community for caring about this sweet boy and reaching out for help. Your compassion made all the difference.
