Please HELP! He is a very very sweet and loving boy!

He was spotted near the wooded area at Rt 30 and Rt 27.

I was part of the team that originally rescued Billy 6 years ago. He has been in our care for the past 6 years. I am planning on flying into Boston on friday to help find him. If anyone is willing to escort me to the loction and house me while Im there, please contact me directly or our adoption coordinator for details. Everyone pray for the safe return of our precious Billy. 3376540038.

He was in my fenced-in back yard with my dogs this morning about 7:15. When I went out to investigate, he got scared and escaped. The then took off up the street. I live on Blossom Circle near Wilson and Ben Hem schools.

I live on Rt 27 near the Rt30/27 intersection and work on Rt. 27 near Wilson School, I will keep my eye out for this poor guy. Hope he's finding some kind of shelter at night :(

Billy was just spotted on ferrance st. Near Ben hem

Since Billy seems to be in my neighborhood, is there someone I can contact more directly if I see him
Again? However can call or text me at 6174355499

We adopted a 1 year old lab/greyhound mix last year and she escaped when we pulled over on the road to see if we had a flat tire. After a day or so of chasing her around the woods, we got a trap crate and put it near where a neighbor saw her running in and out of a hiding place. We put a huge bowl of food in it and she was so hungry, she ran in and the door shut and we were able to get her back. I hope you get Billy back! It's so scary when you can't find them.

I have time after 1pm today to drive around and try to see if I can spot him? What's the best area to search in? Backroads around Ben/Hem Wethersfield rd area?

Again, who should we contact if we see him? Can we get a cell number?

thank you all

If you see Billy, please put food out to establish an eating area for him. He is afraid and will run. We have a trap but just don't know where to set it up. Seems like the only want to get him is trap him with enticing food inside. It would be great if someone could get him into an enclosed area. Thank you for helping! Linda

At this very moment, Billy is cornered in someone's fenced in backyard. His owner, Agnes is about to enter the house with a bacon double cheeseburger. I think he's as good as home. Keep your paws crossed. Will update momentarily. Linda :-)

Billy is still out there. Please do not attempt to catch him, or even approach him. This is a fragile situation- and the best you can do for Billy is to report a sighting immediately to his owner Agnes 508 728 1997

Try bacon pieces - they have a strong smell and I have coaxed many dogs with it. It is very hard to catch a timid or wary dog - they will take off at the slightest wrong move. If you are near a fenced in area (chain link or one that does not have gaps at ground level and is not so low the dog can jump it), you can "lead" the dog in by walking and dropping bits of bacon into the fenced in area, but you need someone to be to shut the door. It is important to wait until the bait person is well inside the enclosure before making a move to shut the gate.

Another trick, if the dog is used to cars and likes going for rides, is to open the car door and let the dog jump in. You would be surprised how effective it is for any dog that likes going for rides or thinks you will be bringing him back to his home.

Any updates or plans we can help with?

Lynne, Melissa and I up and about before 6am in your neighborhood. No sign of Billy.Hoping for another sighting around Blossom. Will probably try trap. He's still out there.

Sighting on Perry Rd. This is directly across 27 from Duncan Donuts. Apparently seen on Saturday. Trying to get more info. Perry is a short Rd. Checked it last eve. No luck.

I have reposted under lost and found with any updates. Thank you everyone for all the suggestions and help.Will continue looking until he is found.Lynne if you see this placed food dish outside fence.

Plese dut not food out for Billy. We have had several feedings stations and one in particular we are going to set up a field camera. If this is Billy we want to know and possible set up a have a heart trap.

has he been caught and returned home?

No, unfortunately not yet. There was a sighting a few days ago but some kids chased after him and he ran away. :-(

Billy was seen last eve on Westlake and Leighton. Gentlemen walking his dog.

That's great news Agnes! Did you go out there to check it out?

Isn't he getting closer to your home Agnes? Westlake is only 3 minutes from where you live? Hopefully he's making his way back home.

Gordon (cul de sac) sighting little over an hour ago. All of us out looking.

Would a piece of prime rib with a big bone make him stay in one place? I wish he would just stop running. Do you have his former owner's voice on your phone so he could hear her? Just a thought!

Looked for Billy early this morning and again this evening. Still nothing. :(

There was one sighting early this morning. Agnes knows where. A gentleman saw Billy sitting in the middle of the road and they when he approached him he limped away. Several people searched today and came up empty. His fostermom of six years from Louisiana is coming here for a week starting Thursday. We hope and pray that Billy will hear her voice and come running.

Can someone tell me the name of the local newspaper in Natick?

Natick Bulletin

Billy seen again last night woods behind C store. My kids determined to bring him home today and I hope they will.

Finally, he's seen in the same spot twice. This is a good sign. I'll send Billy prayers up. No better way to start the new year, than with Billy back home. Please keep us posted!!!

BILLY IS FINALLY HOME EVERYONE!!!! This morning at 5am, Agnes got a call that he was on her street. She went outside and played the recorded voice of his fostermom of six years from Louisiana calling out his name and he came running. He is a little thinner than when he left but is fine and relaxing on the couch where it's nice and warm. Thank you everyone who helped with the sightings and trying to bring Billy home. The town of Natick rocks!!!! The best part is that Billy gets to see his fostermom today. What a perfect ending to this story!

So excited for you Agnes! I look forward to seeing Billy around the neighborhood (on leash) once the weather gets warmer.
