CUPCAKE, the
stray dog who stole the hearts of the Arroyo Vista residents in the
Superstition Foothills community in Gold Canyon has been adopted by
a wonderful lady who "as soon as he met her, CUPCAKE was
already giving her whisker 'lickins' and wanted to ride in her car".
CUPCAKE was found by Janet Armstrong and
Sandi, residents on Jalapa Lane. Everyone in the community
rallied behind CUPCAKE. Several neighbors had been leaving
her water and food by a bush that she used as her safe haven. CUPCAKE
wouldn’t let anyone get too close to her. Finally, after a week,
she followed Janet home and laid by her front porch. Janet
took her in, gave her a bath and took her to the vet. The vet gave
her a clean bill of health, they vaccinated, micro chipped and spayed
her. Neighbors Judy and Larry Laing fostered CUPCAKE
for three weeks. She was named CUPCAKE because she had
cupcakes on her pink collar, it fits her perfectly, she is so sweet.
All the costs were paid by Janet, Judy and Larry. A front
page story by reporter Jill Jones in the Apache Junction
Gold Canyon News immediately resulted in six phone calls.
There are so many people to thank in this story, Janet Armstrong,
Judy and Larry Laing and Sandi, for their dedication
and perseverance; Pat Prince, President of the Superstition
Foothills Homeowners Association who sent many emails trying to find
the owner; Jill Jones and Editor Ed Barker for the
article, and to all the neighbors who didn’t give up and took
care of her.
We hope to give you a follow up story on CUPCAKE soon, I
am sure Janet, Judy, Larry and Sandi will get “visitation
rights”.

she'll give them shelter, food and love (the word is out in the canine
world about Cathy's love for dogs!). OTIS stayed with Cathy
all night, but unfortunately, early morning he decided to be on the
run again. OTIS had Mesa del Oro and Hermosa Hills Posse looking
for him (OTIS doesn't like monsoon season). OTIS'
parents found him around Sleepy Hollow Tr and Lazy Lane, about 3 miles
from his home on the afternoon of September 1st, in the middle of the

We are so thankful to all the emails sent with an APB (Alls Points Bulletin)

him and to Velma who had an ID Tag made for sweet OTIS.

Rachel. BECK was rescued from the Maricopa County Animal
Shelter on June 12, 2007. Rachel, who is a Tempe resident sent
this quote in an email to PAW Alert: "He was a bit jumpy at
first and he is very very skinny. Nevertheless it was love at first
sight! Not even 4 hours later he escaped from me, and I drove around
looking for him and asking neighbors for leads to no avail. He must
have been out in the Gold Canyon desert for two nights when Sherri crossed
his path and he jumped into her car. It was hard taking him away from
Sherri. She was the first mommy he ever knew since adoption. I am very
grateful to Sherri and her loving nature and not leaving our baby in
the shelter. I'm sure he will be the happiest dog alive if he never
steps foot in one of those again! :) Thanks again to Sherri and her
efforts to reunite BECK with me :) Rachel

This is one our most wonderful successful stories! KITA, a
female Shiba Inu, was found in the very early morning hours of April
13, 2006. She had been missing for 14 days between Goldfield Rd / Idaho
Rd and Baseline area in Apache Junction. Her "parents" Ange
and Tom never gave up, they scouted the neighborhood asking
everyone, posted dozens of flyers (even some in Spanish). They also
went to all the businesses in the area. There had been reported sightings
of KITA for the past couple of weeks in the vicinity, however,
repeated checks continually ended in frustration as the shy, elusive
KITA remained Number 1 on our “Most Wanted List”.
FINALLY, success! KITA had been seen again around 11:30 p.m.
in the same areas as previously reported. A stake out was established,
this time People Vs Animal – would result in Victory! This wonderful
story finally culminated to conclusion at the unlikely hour of 2 in
the morning. KITA was spotted by "Dad",
and convinced that her wandering ways were at an end. Skinny and scared,
but home safe and sound, KITA finally was back where she belonged
– with her loving family Ange, Tom and children
– who want to "Thank everyone that helped bring her home.
We can't possibly express our gratitude to you all. This is truly an
answer to our many prayers!"
