Reggie's story is such a beautiful story.

My neighborhood has a residential feral dog that has been living between 4 residential yards and the apartment complex for over a year now.

Animal contol tried for months to catch her and we feel it is a mixed blessing that they can't. We are all afraid that she would be put to sleep.

Her names are: Honey & Puppy she looks to be a female Beauceron shepherd type dog.

She does not bother anyone or other animals, we are only concerned for her safety. If we (homeowners and apartment residents) could coax her to an area where we could use Cesar's way to catch her, we would. But our fear is that the traffic in this particular area is very heavy, and drivers don't pay attention, that we could send her into a panic and that she or one of us could get hit by a car. Amazingly she has managed for over 1 year to maneuver this street and not get hit.

I live in the apartment complex and have some training as a Vet. Tech. and I have learned via text book and personal hands on experience in handling dogs that have been hit by cars. So I am the one to be called in the unforunate event she was hit. I pray I never get that call. Oddly I know instinctly what to do with an animal that has been HBC, so that eases the homeowners some what, because they don't know what to do or how to avoid injury to themselves from an HBC. But I am unsure about how to corral this girl into submission

For now, we all provide food, water and prayer for her safety everyday and affection from a distance. But it sure would be nice if she could live life like Reggie on a ranch, where she can be her feral self and in a safer environment.

Reggie's story is my favorite of all, it makes me cry happy tears to picture her smiling face when she is reunited with her mares and babies. Reggie's story is a beautiful story, very touching to see her smiling from ear to ear.

So unless,or until we can figure out a safer beginning for the Beauceron I call Honey and the homeowners call Puppy, when anyone reads this blog, say a special prayer for Honey/Puppy to just be safe, because despite all our concerns she does seem to be content between her yards.

I work with a rescue group in Phoenix. I recently had the "pleasure" of joining three other rescue groups in catching approx. 40 feral (and I do mean feral) rat terrier, jack russell, chihuahua interbred dogs who were living under a trailer in northeast AZ. I would guess there are at least three generations and possibly four represented. Their only human contact is that they live near or under a trailer.

Our group took 8 of these wild little beasts and they are terrified of people. Any suggestions on rehabbing? Is it possible? These dogs on day four are huddled in pairs in our kennel runs. They have access to the outdoors grassy areas thru dog doors which they use. Oddly, they will not "mess" indoors. But they huddle together in the back of the crate placed in the kennel or under their beds. They show no interest in humans...even for food. I've sat in th runs with high value treats and they will not take the treat, even when tossed in their direction. They refuse to make eye contact and will bite if approached. Only two are vaguely interested in people and are curious.

Any ideas out there? Any time line? Any hope? How about a game plan? Any and all help is appreciated.
