LOST PETS

Oscar went missing by the AMA institute in Saranac Lake on the evening of May 22nd. He was on leash, but was spooked by an off leash dog and took off. Oscar is about 10 years old, 40 lbs, and likes squeaky toys & treats. He is good with people, but not other dogs. He has a hurt hind leg. He has been spotted multiple times, but takes off when approached. He seems to be sticking around the Park Ave general area, but has also been seen by Stewart's and the Civic Center. If you have seen him or have any info, please contact his owner at 518-354-5089. Don't attempt to chase, as it only makes catching him more difficult. You can also call us at the shelter at 518-891-0017. Please share Oscar to help him get home! More photos and sightings can be found on our Facebook post or on the Saranac Lake Neighbor Helping Neighbor page.

Rhonda is a 2 year old female Bernese Mountain dog and was last seen by the Potsdam Morley Rd and Route 11, Thursday May 19th 2022 and was possibly in Canton on route 27 on 5/20. She could be anywhere! The search area has been expanded to include at the least a 1 1/2 hour drive radius around Potsdam, NY due to her traveling great distances in less than a day's time. If you spot her, please keep your distance and do not chase; she is in panic mode and it only pushes her farther away. Try to take a picture from a distance. Contact the owner at 315-705-8875 or the Animal Control Officer at 315-323-4550 with any sighting. If you reach voicemail, leave date, time and address/location of sighting. Please share her picture and information.

Rhonda was being transported from Ohio to her new owner in Massena, NY on May 11th, 2022 and when they arrived, she got scared and ran out of the van at 1am in the morning and has been on the run since. She has been spotted in several towns/villages miles away from the Massena area since 5/16. She has traveled double digit miles in less than a day several times and could easily be anywhere within our new search radius.

She is not familiar with this area and is friendly, but very scared and disoriented. She is desperately trying to find her old family from Ohio. Please share Rhonda with anyone in the area, especially those who might not have access to social media or the internet.

UPDATE: NOVA was reunited with his dad!

NOVA is missing from Saranac Lake and his dad desperately wants him back. They were both staying in Saranac Lake in the Franklin Ave area until their housing situation abruptly changed. Supposedly and without his dad's knowledge, NOVA was taken to a shelter/rescue/pound, but all attempts to locate NOVA by his dad have led nowhere. NOVA is a 3 year old, large, neutered, male black cat with large green eyes. He has only ever been an indoor cat, so he would be at a complete loss as to how to survive outside, especially in this frigid weather. NOVA is skittish and it is believed he would not venture far. If you have any information on NOVA or a cat matching his description, please call 401-443-7385. His dad is desperate to have him back and safe in his arms again.

Teddy managed to slip outside Sunday morning (5/2/21) and was last seen Sunday afternoon in the woods in Rainbow Lake on County Route 60 near Vosberg Rd. and Hull Rd (on the other side of the road). Teddy is an indoor cat, so he is not used to being outside. He is grey with white markings (a grey tuxedo), is microchipped, and neutered. He can be a little shy, but he loves to play. He is used to living with other cats, so he might be attracted to a place that has cats.

Teddy's mom has put up flyers, searching everywhere, and neighbors have been looking too. She has set up a live trap and has a recording of her other cat playing from speakers. Teddy is deeply missed! 

If you have any info, please call Teddy's mom at 518-354-5106.

If you have seen him or have any information, please call his mom at 518-637-2455.

Tamale was last seen on Mace Chasm road in Keeseville. She is about 3 years old, but she’s a fairly small cat, so might be mistaken as younger. She is a calico with tabby markings. Tamale went missing shortly before her appointment to get spayed, so she may be pregnant or could have had kittens. Tamale was a strictly indoor cat, so this is her first time being outside. There have been recent possible sightings of Tamale, so her mom is keeping hope alive that she'll see her again.
