Maxwell, a rescue from Hopeful Hearts Dog Rescue in Ottawa, Ontario escaped from his foster home on Jan. 24th. He was lost in the area of Upper Dwyer Hill Rd./ between March Rd. and Old Almonte Rd. and has been on the move.
He is a red fox lab, scar on the right side of his face, wearing collar with clip and recent neuter. He had just arrived on a transport from Kentucky so he does not know his new home. Maxwell does not have a winter coat nor is he used to the cold. He is very shy and although he has been seen coming out of the bush, on rural roads, he retreats back into it if approached. He must be very hungry and tired as he has been on the roads for a full week now.
It is important to find him as soon as possible and we are asking the public to please help bring this poor rescued dog back to a safe place. Reward is being offered, he needs to be found soon....Please keep your eyes open for this fellow and check your outbuildings as he may be hiding in there. He needs all the help he can get to be brought back to a safe place. As you can imagine the folks from Hopeful Hearts are devastated, overwhelmed and want this boy back safe and sound. He deserves the second chance they were giving him and your help is needed to make this a reality for Maxwell.
We are working closely with a tracker and once there is another sighting, he'll be out looking for him. If people would like to drive around to look for him that is fine, but no calling at all. No approaching either. Just let us know if you see him and which direction he is going in. We will contact the tracker immediately. We also still have the live trap set up with food and are checking it regularly.
So to reiterate: NO NOISE, NO CALLING, NO APPROACHING HIM.
If you see Max please contact Roz (613) 286-0009, Susan (613) 836-4729 or Glenn (613) 229-2422. Keep a copy of these phone numbers with you so you can call when you see him.
UPDATE: Last two seen areas:
Feb. 3 - Wm. Mooney Rd. at creekbed overpass (about halfway between McGee Side Rd. and Richardson Side Rd.);
Feb. 9 – McGee Side Rd. at 417 overpass. Our boy appears to be wandering in the general area (South of March Rd.) between McGee Side Rd. and Richardson Side Rd., but working his way Eastward. He could double back on his trail so don't disregard any tips in the general vicinity.

ReplyDeleteGood luck finding Maxwell!
Just a suggestion...when Max is spotted, it should be posted right away, that way anyone who's in that area can go Immediately to where he was seen, better chance of getting him than posting something the next day from the previous days sighting because by that time he could be miles away!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThis particular blog post is being updated when new information comes up. When Max was spotted it was posted right away on Facebook. Please check Hopeful Hearts Dog Rescue on Facebook if you are interested in following his search.
Thanks.
Oh no, I understand, I'm just trying to spread word to people who DO actually spot him, that THEY should be posting it right away so that if there's anyone else in the area, they could go immediately to the area he was seen as opposed to getting the post a day later because he'll be long gone away from the area he was seen in by the time (we) see the posting...
ReplyDeleteSorry, but the description of a fox red Lab might rule people out who do see him, because honestly, he could pass as a Rhodesian Ridgeback cross, a Vizla cross, or a Lab cross but clearly does not possess strong Labrador looks and a fearful temperament fits more with the other breeds than Labs as well. I can't get a sense of his height from the photo, hence the Ridgeback or Vizla suggestions. I do wish you the very best of luck with finding this boy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding him! But you might want to correct either the poster or the blurb you have typed above --- the poster says to put out food to keep him around your home if you see him (& then obviously call the phone numbers) but the blurb below says not to feed so that he goes to the live trap for the food.
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching that, OwnedBySummer!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding him, safe & sound!
