Happy Endings & Reunifications

Whitewater, WI

Robbie was safely trapped on May 12th, after being outside for nearly a month and a half. He had slipped out the door on March 28th and proceeded to be difficult to catch in a normal trap. For a month he was desensitized to the drop trap and when he became more comfortable eating under it, he was caught!

JHAC assisted the owners and worked alongside someone from the rescue Robbie was adopted from to get him back home

Elkhorn, WI

Barbie was safely live trapped on April 10th, 2025. This was a wonderful team effort with Billy's Posse (based in Racine County) who did a majority of the work as we had our trap currently in use. The distance from where Barbie got out to where she was trapped was just a little under 3 miles.

JHAC responded to help lift the trap and get Barbie back into the owner's vehicle after being caught, but was otherwise just on stand-by if more assistance was needed.

Turtle, WI

Magnolia (rescue name) was safely live trapped on March 30th, 2025. She had been wandering around South Creek Road for several days, and after the neighbors started talking, they quickly realized she was a stray. With storms on the way, JHAC met up with neighboring houses and came up with a game plan to bring Magnolia to safety.  In just a few days, Magnolia was caught!

Eagle, WI

Teddy went missing on March 4th, 2025. With the help of observant community members and a drone operator, the owner was able to find Teddy in just a few days! Measuring the distance between all the sightings, and understanding that he likely retraced his steps/walked in circles trying to find his way back home, Teddy traveled anywhere between 5-10 miles. He stayed relatively close to where he got out, but that is still quite the distance for a 10lb Pomeranian!

*JHAC assisted with trail cameras, and having a trap ready to go if he stayed in one area long enough

Whitewater, WI

Nayla went missing in May of 2021. On February 4th, 2025 she was trapped at a feral cat caretaker's house and scanned for a microchip. She was chipped and it was discovered she had been missing for years! She was trapped less than half a mile away from where she got out and had never been trapped or taken in by anyone during that time.

*JHAC trapped her,  scanned for a chip, and helped reuniting her!

Fort Atkinson/Whitewater, WI

Burger went missing in November 2024 by someone who assumed she was abandoned. That person wasn't on social media and took her home. A few months later, at the end of January 2025, the needed to surrender Burger due to moving. The connection was made a week later and Burger went home! Burger was not microchipped at the time she went missing, but she's microchipped now to prevent issues like this again. 

*JHAC recognized and reunited her!

Rockdale to Cambridge to Lake Mills, WI

Romeo ran away from his home on 1/10 and sparked a community to join together and reunite him with his owner. After using 18 days of tracking sightings, using drones, knocking on doors, handing out fliers, etc, Romeo was safely captured by his owner and brought back home!

*JHAC assisted with setting up a trap and trail camera in areas he was spotted multiple times

Darien/Allen's Grove, WI

Baby was a new foster dog and she slipped away when going outside to the bathroom. From 1/6 to 1/11 there were no sightings and then all of a sudden she popped up nearly 5 miles away. The foster family rushed over and was able to convince her that it was okay, leading to a safe capture!

*JHAC assisted with trail cameras and was ready to go with a trap once there was a sighting

Whitewater, WI

Buffy got away from the pet sitter during a winter storm on 1/19/24. After no sightings for 5 days, Buffy appeared right down the road from where she went missing. Soaking wet from the rain, a lovely couple stopped their car and Buffy hopped right in!

*JHAC assisted with handing out fliers, talking to businesses, meeting up with the owner several times, and helping look her over for any potential injuries after she was finally found.
