Lost Dog: Lili, a Shiba Inu

By Claude Scales on February 8, 2012 9:42 am in Pets

Reader Ramen Cromwell sends this plea:

Last night, February 7th, at about 9 pm my dog Lili slipped out of her collar while being walked by her walker on Court street and Livingston. She was last seen moving toward Smith street. Once I was informed of the situation l joined the search and walked the streets until 8 am this morning. I am exhausted but hopeful that Lili will turn up. Lili does have a chip but she isn’t wearing a collar so I would greatly appreciate any help spreading the word that there is a lost dog out there and two parents who miss her very much. Lili is a year and a half year old Shiba Inu who is about 23 lbs. with a golden brown coat and white face. Any help in finding her will be greatly appreciated and there is a reward for her safe return.

The photo is not Lili but a representative photo of the Shiba Inu breed. Ramen Cromwell can be reached at blackwaterfilms@gmail.com

Daily News Reports on Search for BeeBop

By weegee on January 5, 2012 9:11 pm in Brooklyn Heights, News, Pets

The Daily News picks up on the search for BeeBop the Cat today:

NY Daily News:“Losing your cat is a new level of pain,” Sheehan said sobbing. “I want him back. I won’t give up.”

Sheehan last saw 2-year-old BeeBop on June 28 when she was moving out of her old apartment at 38 Columbia Place. BeeBop jumped out of a back window before she could stop him.

“Everyone was looking for him,” said Sheehan, who now lives in Maine caring for her ailing 88-year-old dad.

By Homer Fink on December 3, 2011 10:07 am in Pets

As reported yesterday, BHB reader “Paul” found a Yorkie at Garden Place and State Street. The pooch had no ID tags or microchip. While a few readers have volunteered to adopt the pup (we call him “Thom Yorkie“… ahem) it would be super awesome if he were to be reunited with is owner.

Note: The Yorkie has been placed with a new family. Read Paul’s update here.

We’ve created a flyer to get the word out. We’re asking our readers to responsibly (and legally) post around the area. Download it after the jump. Continue Reading →

Is This Your Yorkie?

By Homer Fink on December 2, 2011 10:15 am in Brooklyn Heights, Pets

BHB reader Paul sends us the dispatch:

found this Yorkie this morning on the corner of Garden Place and State Street wearing a collar but no ID tags. Any help locating the owner would be greatly appreciated.

Update from Paul this afternoon:

As of this moment, no one has stepped forward as the actual owner. The Yorkie was taken to a vet and it is not micro-chipped.

Update: Paul comments:

I’m the guy who found the lost Yorkie and to everyone who has responded, thank you very much. As of Sunday morn, the owner has not come forward. My suspicion is that this beautiful Yorkie is a throwaway as unspeakable as that thought may be to animal lovers. The dog does not respond to the names of Thriller or Coco. I found a loving foster family for our Yorkie in Cobble Hill and that home could be permanent if necessary. Thanks again to everyone at Brooklyn Heights Blog for your help.
