Ghost's Rescue: 11/30/25-12/8/25

Thank you Pueblo!

On Monday, December 8th, a kind woman who knew of our search for Ghost, saw a dog matching his description. If you can believe it, she got the dog in her car and brought him to SoCO!
We asked everyone who saw Ghost on the nature trail to come to SoCO to see if this was the same dog. We weren't quite sure Ghost would have willingly jumped into someone's car! Every person said,"yes, this was the dog I saw".

We left our post up to see if there were any other sightings, and there have been none. With all of this being said, we are happy to say that Ghost is safe at SoCO! Dr. Ballotti examined him and he had some cuts and "road rash" but, he is ultimately in great shape!
A huge thank you to the caring people of Pueblo for your dedication to Ghost.
Another huge thank you to the whole Paw Responders team for the hours you dedicated to helping him. If only he knew how many people were working for him to get to safety!

One of our Paw Responders researched multiple local pet pages, and it was determined that our "Ghost" has been sighted multiple times since the middle of November, a couple of weeks before he was seen being struck by a car.

He has had quite an adventure on his own, but now that he finally "gave up", he has a bright future ahead of him! His "stray hold" has expired and he has been accepted into the Pawsitive Pathways program where he will receive in-home training and then he will be available for adoption!

Here's to a wonderful life ahead sweet Ghost! 🩷🐾🩷

PAW RESPONSE IN PROGRESS

11/30/25 A large dog was witnessed being hit by a car and it fled quickly! SoCO Paw Responders Lisa and Brenda walked for miles searching with no luck.

12/2/25
Dog was FINALLY spotted and SoCO Paw Responders Lilli and Alexis ran to assess his behavior to see if they could catch him. It was determined we would need to use one of our traps to secure him. Trap was set at 5 pm, monitored by Alex and Lilli, but he never came by.

12/3/25

Area was scouted by SoCO Paw Responders Erin and Lisa. A place for the trap was determined and the trap was set! Within 30 minutes our boy, who the team named Ghost due to his ability to appear and disappear so quickly, showed up.....then disappeared...... We are now patiently waiting for him to catch the scent of the delicious food we placed in the trap.

12/4/25

No sightings but there was A LOT of action in the area with snow shoveling and plows. Maybe he was just hiding in the bushes nearby?
Trail camera is set on a food station where he was seen 3x yesterday. Maybe during the dark and quiet of the night, he will feel safe enough to come out and eat.

12/5/25

Our boy has moved. He was spotted in a different area today. Paw Responders were on scene to set down fragrant food in an effort to keep him in this area. He was spotted curled up under a tree, but when he saw us (from far away), he ran....we will continue to safely and quietly monitor the area so we can establish a place to set up the trap.

12/9/25.....we think we have Ghost, safe and warm and fed at SoCO......please be patient while we update.......

Stay tuned....

SIGHTING NEEDED

Around 11 am, one of our team members witnessed a dog get hit on Pueblo Blvd on the bridge over the Arkansas. The dog was knocked down, but then hopped up and ran west across traffic and down to the river trail. Our team member immediately parked and ran down the trail. Another team member (who was nearby) joined the search.

A FB post was made by another citizen who saw the dog at the nature center. Our team members were unable to locate the dog.

PAWS for Life was informed of the situation and their staff is also on the lookout.

What we need from you are sightings.

Description is vague: medium, grey colored pit bull.

Any sighting can be reported to Lisa at 719-250-0262 via text. Please note the location, time of day, and direction of travel. If you can safely take a picture, please do.
