After 84 days on the run, Rogue finally found her way back to safety: captured using a cage trap on October 31, this 4-year-old dog defied all odds by remaining in good health despite nearly 3 months spent outside. However, his most moving reunion was still waiting for him: his sister Anna was there to welcome him, in a scene as unexpected as it was moving.
The story of Snaperelayed by Whitefish Pilotstarted at Flathead County Animal Shelterthe Flathead County Animal Shelter in Kalispell in the state of Montana (United States). On August 8, this 4-year-old collie cross was adopted there, but, frightened, she escaped from the car that same afternoon and then escaped the people who were trying to catch her.
Volunteers on foot and drones deployed
For 84 days, the search continued. Several reports directed the volunteers, who walked the affected areas and flew drones in the area in the hope of precisely locating the runaway.
Among the many people mobilized on the ground was Casey Corbettwhich hosts Annathe sister of Snapeas a host family. She spent hours walking and scanning the surroundings, as part of a team that did not give up.
A cage trap on Braig Road
On Saturday October 31, Snape was finally captured in a cage trap, installed on Braig Road. Anna was present that morning when the survivor was taken out of the capture device. The collie cross was then taken to the veterinary clinic Flathead Pet Emergency to be examined.
According to the report of this examination, the dog was in relatively good condition, considering what she had just experienced: no injuries or broken teeth were noted, and her weight corresponded to that of a healthy animal, even though she had just spent almost 3 months on the run.
A particularly moving photo transmitted to the Whitefish Pilot watch Anna sniffing his sister, barely found, through the mesh of the cage trap. Here it is:
