Mandy Lost in Kirkland

Mandy's Facebook page. 

Update 1/25:  Mandy is home!  We got a call at 7:30 this morning that Mandy was seen a couple of blocks from the crash site.  Volunteers went to the area as fast as they could.  After a couple of hours of searching carefully, Mandy was spotted again.  She ended up in someone's fenced back yard, exhausted and defeated.  The volunteers stayed back.  Mandy's owner, Earl, and her sister, Lady, came to that back yard, and Mandy came out to them.  Mandy lost 12 pounds in two weeks and was a little dehydrated.  She will make a full recovery.  Dozens of volunteers searched the area, and hundreds of others helped spread the word about Mandy through social media.  The fact that everyone in the area knew about Mandy greatly facilitated her recovery.  

Update 1/21:  We have a reported sighting of Mandy on Sunday afternoon, 1/20, at 90th and 138th Place.  She ran through a yard to the street behind, 91st Place.   This is not far from the sighting at 84th and 136th a few days ago. 

Mandy has been missing since January 11th when the car she was in crashed into a gas station and caught fire at 141st and Juanita Drive at the Kirkland/Kenmore border.  At that time, she was seen running toward St. Edwards State Park and Bastyr University.  On Saturday, she may have been seen where 143rd meets 145th, just a few blocks from the gas station.  On Tuesday, the 15th, she may have been seen at 141st and 83rd, just a few blocks east of the crash site.

One of Mandy's owners died of a sudden illness at Christmas, and the other owner is elderly and recovering from the crash.  Mandy's surviving owner is relying on the community to help locate her.  If you see Mandy, it is very important that you NOT try to catch her, or call her name.  Once Mandy is located, her owner can come to that location with Mandy's sister, and they can patiently coax Mandy to them.  If anyone tries to capture Mandy, it could drive her out of the area and make her harder to locate again.

Please share a link to this web page, and share the flier below.  If you are able to assist with searching in Kirkland and Kenmore, please contact me at 206-552-0304.  Missing Pet Partnership is also helping with this search, and you can contact them at 253-529-3999.

Bentley Lost near Thornton Creek

Update 12/21:  Bentley went into the humane trap this morning and he is now safe at home.  He was reluctant to go in, and it took at least 12 hours before he went in. The trap was baited with his favorite foods, his toys, and his owner's clothing.

Update 12/20: We saw Bentley about a dozen times today, see map below.  A humane trap is set, and we hope he goes in it soon.

Bentley has been missing since 12/8, from near 25th Ave NE and NE 55th.  He was seen 12/15 near Roosevelt and 108th, near Thornton Creek.  He may be using the creek to travel in search of food.  If you see him, please don't chase him or try to catch him.  Please call Bentley's owner at 310-924-0978 or call Three Retrievers Lost Pet Rescue at 206-552-0304.  He weighs about 25 pounds, and escaped without a collar.  
Janet of SPDR is organizing a search party for Wednesday morning:
SEARCHERS INVITED: A search party for Bentley (the lost Sheltie) is planned for Wednesday, Dec. 19, at 8:00 a.m. near Northgate Shopping Mall/Thornton Creek area.   Meeting place will be at Costume Supply parking lot at 11201 Roosevelt Way Northeast Seattle, WA -- at 8 a.m.  We will then begin looking for Bentley near where he was sighted, posting flyers to post & pillar, handing out flyers to anyone we see, handing out flyers at neighborhood homes and businesses, in general getting the word out that Bentley has been sighted in Thornton Creek. Wear warm waterproof clothing and rubber booths (it gets wet & muddy in Thornton Creek area). Bring a tacking stapler or staple gun if you have one available. Questions? Call 425-xxx-xxxx.

[Note:  Oscar has been found.  He was not far away.]

Oscar escaped on 12/12 from Ferncroft Road in the middle of the east side of the island.  He was just adopted and doesn't know the area.  He may have been frightened off by the handle of his retractable leash bouncing along behind him.  If you see him, please don't chase him, don't call his name, and don't try to catch him.  Please just call us as soon as possible at 206-552-0304.  Please share this web page, and the flier below.
