They felt horrible and frantic, and so did we. We were so worried about our pup who we've cared for for weeks leading up to his adoption. Our hearts were absolutely broken to know he was alone again, on the streets. Luckily, he had a tracker on his collar, so we knew the general area where he was,…

So, we went back to the shelter and scooped up our biggest trap to ensure he had anough space to walk in without tripping…
