Tuesday Evening Update

Sue searched during daylight. Went around the lake, left of Hope Pkwy and up through the hills at the end. We looked in the back of homes on each side, and down basement stairwells. Went back across Hope Pkwy to the field just up from Sycolin, and then drove through the houses on each side of the lake. Saw the hot dog bits but no Toby.

Victor came out checked the feeding stations walked and drove the neighborhood, and checked again before he left and found the hot dogs gone from the Hope/Baish feeding station. This could be good news....
He put down some dog biscuits. I'll be back in the morning to check.

Thanks to everyone who keeps looking for him.

Still Looking & Hoping

It is 1:30 pm and I just got home from looking for Toby. I checked the feeding station at 6am and drove around and walked around with my beagle and didn't see him either. I put flyers on all the condo doors too, so every home within that area bounded by the 4 major roads has received their own copy of the flier. I think he just must be too scared to come out, as he was supposedly still wearing a collar with his A Forever Home Rescue phone number but no calls.

This morning there were no hits at the feeding stations. The maintenance crews were tending the shrubs, and cleaned up the kibble from Baish Dr. I picked up the can and replaced in with hot dog pieces. The can of food down the hill still seemed pretty fresh so I took it out of the can and placed in on the kibble and added pieces from 1/2 a hot dog. If they are still there for the evening they should ok until the morning. I left a plastic bag from the newspaper which has some of the door flyers to carry with you as you walk around and talk to people.

Our intent is to get him feeding regularly so we can use a trap (if needed). I thought as it got toward noon and the sun was out and the neighborhood quite I might spot him but no joy.

All of our signs were removed from Sycolin Rd and Battlefield Blvd between noon yesterday and this morning but they still remain along Hope Pwk.

Here's a little about Toby from his time as an AFH foster:
