Life for Temperance started in Georgia in a dumpster with her mom & seven siblings. She was brought up to NJ and on the 16th of July, my nephew & I took Temperance to her new dad in Columbia, Maryland. She traveled without any problems. The next morning I got a text that the door was left open by some workers at her new home, and she escaped. Temperance completely disappeared, and I was heartbroken. On Wednesday, August 11th, I got a response from Dara at the MD SPCA about Dogs Finding Dogs. I called & e-mailed Anne immediately – she called me right back.  Then I called Animal Control, who had been trying to catch Temperance & the hunt was on for this slick, fast and sassy dog!  Officer Rachel searched & spotted her in a residential neighborhood, set in a ravine.  She called Anne at Dogs Finding Dogs, who brought Heidi and Janel with Lee.  For 2 1/2 hours they ran up and down the yards. brush, trees, pricker bushes.  They’d never seen a dog so quick even with a limp!  As they were tired & exhausted, they decided to wrap  it up for the night.  Just then, to their right, laying on the grass  and paws crossed was Temperance with the expression of ‘good try, next’ !  At that point, they threw food out for her, hahaha!   On Saturday, the 14th, around 5 pm, Anne, Janel & Heidi set up the large pen trap and baited it with fresh roasted chicken all around the cage & inside, and then set the press plate.  Around 6 pm, Temperance came strolling along, looking for food!  She ate all the fresh hot roast chicken that was around the trap and then stretched inside the trap to get more.  She figured it was safe so she went in to get more chicken in the back and WHAM — door slammed shut — YEAH!!!! I was so ecstatic I just started to cry. I do not know how to thank Anne, Janel, Rachel & the dogs for all their endless effort to find & catch Temperance.  What warms my heart is that these ladies went out of their way to help someone from another state and they genuinely cared so much about my dear Temperance.  It just goes to show that there are people out there who are willing to look beyond themselves and help others. Anne took the time to talk to me, listen to what I knew about this special dog, and reassure me that they would get her back. These people are so special and we are blessed to have them as advocates for our beloved animals. Thank you so much! God Bless!
