New Paw Print & More Feeding Station Activity

We had new activity at the Randall Recreation Center feeding station today (7 of 10 milkbones were taken). We'll be checking the infrared camera soon; keep your fingers crossed that it's Olivia.

We also spotted a new, very large paw print today just to the North and East of her current known route. We'll be out tomorrow (Sunday) with Sam and Salsa for a brief track and fliering effort.

If you can participate tomorrow or any time this week, please call one of the numbers to the right or email allisonjhazen@gmail.com.

Thanks so much for all your help in bringing Olivia home!

New Paw Prints and An Urgent Request for Volunteers!

Great new, folks! Sam (our excellent tracker) and Laura (Livvie's foster Mom) just spotted new paw prints at Randall Rec Center (the site of one of our current feeding stations).

We have now set up an infrared camera at that feeding station so we can capture images of what ever has been eating the large Milk Bones at night; keep your finger's crossed at it's Olivia! We'll certainly keep you posted!

We need your help this week! We believe that Olivia has found shelter somewhere just North of the Randall Recreation Center. We plan to put up fliers in the area this week, but if you're available for an hour or two this weekend or next week and can either help by printing off fliers or putting some up, please email me at allisonjhazen@gmail.com.

We Still Need Your Help! We Have a New Flier and an Updated Search Strategy

We haven't had a sighting of Olivia since January 7th, but we're confident that she's still around based on recent paw prints. She's a very tough dog to have survived this long and we can really use your help in bringing her home!

Sam (our tracker) has taken over the search (which is great news since she's amazing!) and has recommended that we do the following:

• Make regular checks of our 2 existing feeding stations and their cameras (which we're already doing). We continue to have milk bones taken from both stations, mostly at night, and will soon set up infrared cameras to find out what's hitting the station(s) at night.


• Post new fliers to the East and to the North of her existing tracked route (note: a little slow to load, so give it a few minutes) in case she's moved locations (which would account for the lack of sightings lately). We posted about 70 new fliers south of M St SW, between Half St SW and up to (but not including) New Jersey Ave SE -- so, we got Nationals Stadium and the surrounding areas covered today.
  

We can REALLY use help in the fliering effort!!! If you can volunteer to help flier this week or anytime soon, please email allisonjhazen@gmail.com and I can put you in touch with the group right away so we can tell you the spots most in need of fliers. We can also help advise on how to put up the fliers so they're rain/snow resistant, and we can provide volunteers to accompany anyone who would rather not flier alone.

Here is the latest flier:

• Latest Flier

Supplies you'll need (or that we can provide to you):

• Clear roll of tape
• Plastic sheath to protect the flier
• Fliers

Here is a map of the areas already covered with the latest flier. We can still use fliers further east and north:

Thanks so much for all your help to date!

We Found Paw Prints!!!

Although the snow has wrecked havoc for we humans, it has certainly helped us track Olivia's paw prints! After having very little activity the past week, we're back in business!!

Paw prints were discovered around her usual feeding station haunts, so our volunteers are going out to track her, and likely will go into the weekend.

The greatest news of all is that Olivia has weathered the storm and out hunting for food!

Olivia Still Missing: New Strategies

We had a cookout last weekend to see if we were able to get Olivia out of hiding, to no avail. We had several sightings last week but have been unable to get ahead of her. We're in the process of developing a new strategy.

We have volunteers consistently checking the DC shelter, Craigslist, Pet Harbor among others, but if you happen to hear of a large (x-large), female Brindle dog being picked-up, we welcome any and all leads.

We do need some additional help checking feeding stations in the DC area. If you are available to help, please contact Yvonne at audicabrio2003@gmail.com.

Olivia has been Spotted!

Over the past several days, we've received quite a few calls regarding Olivia sightings. Our search team to deciding on strategy to determine whether we should setup an enclosure trap and entice her to enter with some very high value food (can anyone say chicken?).

Keep your fingers crossed we bring Olivia home this weekend!
