Lost Pet Testimonials

Pam Rouda was a tremendous help in the recovery of Sammy, my Siamese cat who had gone exploring and was lost for over two weeks last year. He had been on chemotherapy for a cancerous tumor and I was frantic.

Pam had seen a poster I had placed in my neighborhood and close vicinity and had called me, offering her services. She honestly cares for the welfare of many of our furry "family members" and knows how much they mean to us. Not only did Pam walk the neighborhoods with us as we used a search dog, but she arranged for a newspaper reporter to do an interview on the search and even went in front of TV cameras on an early morning talk show. As a result, we began getting more phone calls from neighbors who thought they had seen him. When Sammy was finally located, Pam celebrated with us, just as if she was part of the family. You're terrific, Pam!
Thank you!!

In late fall of 2006 we were walking our dogs in the Owyhees and had brought our shy foster dog Dolly with us. Something scared Dolly into a panic and the leash snapped when she bolted the other way. In that dry, rocky country covered with sagebrush it was easy for her to vanish like a ghost once she had decided to put as much distance between her and the thing that scared her. In spite of searching and calling for hours that day and the next she was gone. I called Pam who took time out of her busy schedule to pack up Petey and her equipment and head back out into the mountains. When we got out there Pam started readying Petey and we were surveying the last point where we had seen Dolly when I spotted her cautiously moving towards us far up the dirt road. Petey never did get a chance to follow her trail but his presence enticed Dolly to come all the way down to us where she was exceedingly relieved to find safety and companionship. We are grateful to Pam for being willing to go to such length to help us in a difficult and heart-wrenching situation.

On the evening of November 18, 2006, I came home to find my two dogs had escaped from the yard. I saw Pam and Petey walking down the street and stopped her to ask if she had seen two loose dogs. She explained that Petey had just been training as a search dog and she was willing to "test his skills". He got the scent from my dogs' bed and within ten minutes he was barking and had found my two "escapees". Thanks to the skills of Pam and Petey, my Hayley and Noelle were home safe.

Earlier this month (April 2007) I contacted Pam to help find my friend's cat, Samantha. My friend was in the hospital and Samantha subsequently had been missing for three weeks. We met on a Thursday night, and in one-half to three-quarters of an hour, she caught Samantha in the safe trap she set behind my friend's home! That was incredible! Pam is a top-notch professional pet finder and very knowledgeable about pets and their habits. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has lost their pet!
