NIKKO HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN THE AREA WHERE HE SLIPPED HIS COLLAR IN MAUMEE, OH. Volunteers that have been searching for Nikko the eskie have spotted him several times but he's so scared he hasn't been caught. We're hoping he'll stay in the area until someone can get close enough to get him. We have a volunteer who will hold on to him once he's been picked up and will keep him until we can get him to his forever home in Michigan.

IF YOU CATCH HIM- NOTIFY ERU IMMEDIATELY!!! PLEASE CALL WANDA AT 301-617-2747

The local shelters, humane societies, police departments and rescue groups have all been notified and have received info on Nikko as well as pictures. PLEASE, HELP US GET NIKKO TO HIS FOREVER HOME!!!

Great minds think alike! I posted this in the General section!!

No news yet....I'm about ready to drive up there myself and help...this waiting sucks!

[Cessa's Mom]

LOL. I was going to post there, too. I can't believe no one has been able to get ahold of him, yet. There have been several sitings. I sure wish I were closer, I'd be out there in a hearbeat! I hope they bring him in soon. Poor guy.

Here's the latest update as of evening of 8/18......

PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST

I know a lot of folks have been wondering about Nikko, the american eskimo who bolted during his transport to his forever home on Saturday. The bad news is- he still hasn't been caught. But the good news is- people are still seeing him. The area is flooded with flyers, announcements have been made on the radio, and there are at least 4 humane traps set. We have a local volunteer who's offered to be the contact in the area to arrange search efforts.

If you live in the area or will be visiting it over the weekend, please contact Vi to help in our search & rescue efforts ([email protected]). Nikko's forever family is anxiously waiting for word on his capture!!!

Wanda is ERU's contact who lives in Maryland, if you happen to catch him- contact her immediately!!!
301-617-2747 We have volunteers who have offered to short-term foster him until he can get to his forever home.

Once again, he will be tired & probably dirty, but here's a description of Nikko. And remember, he will not approach strangers, so please carry something yummy and DO NOT call him by name, folks who have done that have said he takes off right away:

American Eskimos are also commonly known as a white spitz!

I cannot believe they cannot catch Nikko! He must be very tired and hungry by now. Poor boy. Hopefully, someone can entice him with food and bring him in soon. Maybe try contacting Jacki Hadra with IMOM. She may be able to offer additional suggestions no one has thought of. I know she lured a stray Dalmatian (Luv Bug) in once.

WOOHOO!!! Nikko has been caught and is going home in the next 24 hours!!

PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST

I was just about to hit send on our latest update on Nikko, the eskie who escaped during transport to his forever home in Maumee, OH, when we received an email & call that he had been safely caught!!!

During the day, a wonderful lady and her dog tracked Nikko to the area where he had been sleeping. A humane trap was placed at that location. At the same time, a call came in to our local contact that a family had found Nikko and had him at their home.

Because of the area volunteers and their diligence, the family remembered seeing the flyers around the neighborhood. They saw this white (or maybe not so white anymore) dog come up onto their porch and let their two little girls pet him. They called for their mother who then immediately attached a collar & leash and called the number on the flyer.

The tracker picked him up and took him to her home and promptly gave me a well-needed bath. He is now awaiting his new mom who will be travelling to Maumee in the next 24 hours.

WE OWE A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped w/ crossposting, calling, emailing- and especially to the folks who actually searched, printed & posted flyers, placed traps, bait and kept an eye for Nikko. Without you, who knows what would have happened. Such a great effort went in to find him that none of us will ever forget your willingness to help strangers in a common cause.
