Chase has been found

Chase was safely found and returned home- thanks to all concerned.

Please help find Chase, a brown 30 lb. beagle mix, with a black saddle who went missing from Van Dusen Blvd. in the Bloor/Islington area on Saturday Dec. 12th. He’s travelling & could be in this area.

He is wearing a red harness with Ohio Rabies tag. Chase is fully vaccinated, including rabies and microchipped.

Please help us to find this dog and bring him to safety. It would be a tradegy for him to be saved from death row in Ohio, only to die alone, cold, and afraid.

Chase is normally a friendly, timid, gentle dog but now he is frightened, alone, feels abandoned and scared. Should you encounter Chase do NOT attempt to grab him or his collar as that will frighten him. Dogs will sometimes bite in fear & we do not want anyone to put themselves at risk.

Off-Leash Park Approved

For those of you who couldn't make it out to the meeting the final outcome is essentially good news.

We had made application citing several sites in the Colonel Sam Smith area.
The city assessed all, most were deemed unacceptable, and finally they gained access to the area to the east of the RL Clark Water Treatment Plant between south Kipling and a little east of 23rd Street. The area is directly south of the Father Redmond running track and north of the treatment plant south parking/delivery area. It is smaller than hoped coming in at over 1 1/2 acres but hopefully it will be sufficient for our purposes. The city has agreed to fence but that will not happen till the spring due to installation issues.

I don't know about you but this is a great day! I can hardly wait till Frida can run loose without fear of canine capture!
