Jelly Bean
Thanks to the efforts of our amazing community, volunteers and staff – Jelly Bean has been found!
When we received the call that Jelly Bean had escaped her Foster families back yard, we immediately implemented our Lost Pet Protocol;
- HPAC staff hit the road to connect with the foster family and scope out the area where she went missing and begin the search
- The appropriate animal control organization was contacted to report the details of our lost Jelly Bean
- The Microchip company was contacted to report that her missing
- Flyers were created and distributed in the area – with bright orange background to help them be seen by passing traffic – which led to helpful tips where she had been spotted
- We posted to our Facebook page the details of Jelly Bean and the area she was last seen
- An ad was placed on Craigslist with her photo and details of where she went missing – in the event someone was able to catch her
- A large dog trap was set up with food and a blanket with her scent near where she went missing
Jelly Bean’s previous staff foster and her dog followed a recommendation to tie her dog to a tree near where Jelly Bean had last been seen – step away and allow her dog to bark. Within 5 minutes, Jelly Bean came out of the bushes to greet her canine friend and allowed the staff person to leash her up. She was one happy girl!
All your efforts paid off! Thank you!
