Stray Keeshond~Case 482

We deployed a video-monitored feeding station in a fairly secluded area to begin drawing her away from the roadway. This is a critical first step in conditioning her to a consistent food source and establishing a safe location in preparation for our corral deployment and capture.

She quickly located the new feeding station. She didn’t eat all of the food, which isn’t surprising, as so many people have been feeding her that she likely isn’t very hungry. We anticipate she will return later tonight to finish what’s left.

The feeding station will be replenished first thing tomorrow morning.

At this point, the plan is to continue feeding tomorrow and then deploy the corral trap on Friday, securing it in the open position. If she enters the corral on Friday, we plan to move forward with capture during her feeding window on Saturday morning.

She cleaned her bowl this time!!!  😃

We deployed the corral today and secured the door in the open position.

Due to team obligations this afternoon, there is not enough time to safely move forward with capture and allow her proper decompression time inside the corral before we would need to leave the site. It is in her best interest to wait until tomorrow.

We will use today to allow her to build confidence around the corral and begin entering on her own so that no extended conditioning period will be needed.

Today, we baited the trap with nutritious wet dog food and plain chicken, topped with delicious beef brisket that she cannot resist.

Just two hours after corral deployment, she walked right in without hesitation and began eating.

That is exactly the kind of immediate, confident behavior we look for and it puts us in a strong position. We are planning her capture tomorrow.

After more than three months of surviving the dangerous conditions of a landfill, this sweet Keeshond/Shepherd is finally safe. No more uncertainty.

She was successfully captured on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 06:27 without incident. No microchip.

She is being transported to Collin County Animal Services for a legal stray hold. We are already working with our partner rescues to secure placement for her once her stray hold has expired.
