update from Chapel's trainer

update from Trainer - Karlene
Karlene and her assistant were able to handle Chapel this morning... she was wide eyed but calmed down fairly soon. They are not going to do anything pressing for about a week. They want her to merge into the life at Karlene's. She will be resting in her crate and going out to exercise with a group of dogs that match her personality.
Karlene also mentioned that she has seen this before. There was a truck driver that was never home and had huskies. He allowed them to populate and when he gave them the boot, most were un-socialized and had never been touched. She was able to bring the Husky's around and have a happy ending. She said Chapel of course is not wild but apparently has not been handled by humans too much. This is not shocking news to the girls in Baltimore I am sure.
She still has not gone to the bathroom but they are going to work on that this morning.
She will call in a few days but the weekend is pointed to relaxing and getting to know her safe contained environment.

Chapel is at the trainers


Chapel made it to upstate NY and is now with the trainer. She slept through the whole trip. Here's one more picture of her that shows her beautiful eyes:

pictures of Chapel's last day in Baltimore






Pictures of Chapel's last day in the Baltimore area (newest on top, not sure why it puts them that way when downloading them!). Complete with a bath. Her temporary foster home absolutely adores her already, and is sad to let her go. Someone will get a very special family member when they adopt Chapel. Her foster home reports that she has an awesome personality and her eyes are so very alive! She's such a great girl!

More pics of our girl




Here's some more pics of Miss Chapel in her temporary foster home. Her temporary foster mom reports that Miss Chapel has become spoiled with all the yummy food the wonderful people on Pepperdine Court fed her (we had some amazing people helping us out, feeding her and bringing their dogs around the traps in order to get her more comfortable). Chapel's foster mom also reports that Chapel has come out more and more, but won't go outside. She decided under the card table (which you will see in some pictures) was enough cover to take a nap. Look at our beautiful girl:

Chapel still looking for a home--the rest of her journey

Chapel's journey is not complete yet. She will finish her trip to upstate NY to rescue! From there, she will spend some time with a trainer to work on her socialization (for her shyness and fear!) After that, she will go into a foster home. Chapel is still looking for her forever home, and her journey won't be totally complete until she finds herself as a pampered princess with a loving family!

Have a safe journey, Chapel!!!

P.S. the date for her travel to upstate NY is Thursday, May 27!

pictures of Chapel's capture (newest to oldest)






Here are pics of Chapel's capture. She was caught in a pen that was rigged to spring. She wouldn't go into a humane trap or an enclosure trap. She was pretty scared during the whole process, but her healing can now begin!

She is safe and sound

She is safe and sound at a volunteer's house! She is scared, but safe. More to come, including pictures when I get them!

We got her!!

Just received word that we were able to trap Chapel. One of our tireless volunteers is on the way to pick her up. When I have more information, I will post! Cross your fingers that she's safely retrieved and comfortable in a home soon!!

What a playful girl

We have been receiving numerous reports of our girl stealing items and taking them to her "special place" to play with them and chew on them. She also solicits local dogs to play. She is surely a playful one, let's get her into a home where she can have all the toys she wants!

Chapel seems to enjoy Pepperdine Circle, she has spent most of the day there, with numerous sightings reported throughout the day from the area.

Some callers have mentioned that she's dirty, wet, and looking tired, so we NEED to bring our girl home to a nice, dry bed!

Chapel weathered the storms

We were a bit worried about our girl last night with the storms, but she was out and about on Pepperdine Circle again at 7 AM! So glad she made it through the storms and is now hungry!!
