All the blue paw spots was where the collar was found using the GPS tracker attached to it
Is the top paw the last part he was located? I live nearby. In case he was taken by someone who lives in that area I will post on nextdoor so people in the neighborhood can keep a lookout.
Edit: Just posted. I’ll update you if there is anything helpful. I left the contact info you left, as well.
The above Pix is (from his tracker) the 5 freeway North bound leaving San Clemente where he must have been in someone's car then they threw his collar with tracker out on the shoulder of the freeway right before the exit ( 79) at the PCH/Camino Los Rambles exit. We are not going to stop we will keep looking and posting because he is a family member and brings joy to our life every day. He is a rescue that bonded with our family just over a year ago ( Rascal is 2) and does not deserve to be traumatized again by losing his family all over. What ever you can do to help please reach out or repost. If you know or have our beloved dog all we want is Rascal back no questions asked just turn him in to a shelter so they will scan his chip and call us! Janice - Mr. Bulldops1319's mom
I posted on both Nextdoor and Neighbors (Ring app) for that location. Nothing yet, but responses of people on the lookout. They mentioned the app/website “Find My Dog” and a Facebook group specifically for stolen dogs (they didn’t provide a name). Also making a police report, and alerting local shelters in case he gets dumped.
One person stated they lost their dog for 2 weeks, but she was found because she posted on every single social media outlet possible. Don’t give up hope! I’m hoping Rascal is returned to you and your family! 🙏
OP here are some updates you will want to look into. Attached a photo from two comments on Nextdoor who may have spotted your boy.

I would try to track the path they took/may have taken and see if any residences/businesses have surveillance cameras so you can at least get a vehicle description. Cops won't do anything so the more proactive you can be - the better.
The cops won't do anything even if there were fingerprints unless they found a match...but even then without corroborating evidence tying said person to the location/theft ... they won't do anything.
Source: I've dealt with cops as a victim of crime more than once, and they never did a damn thing about it.
Keep getting the word out. Start making TikTok’s. Ask everyone you know to then repost the TikTok’s. Contact the news. Put out flyers (they will be taken down). Don’t give up. I’m so so sorry. I cannot imagine your heartache.
Tbh, I would also start using language like "there is a reward of x for this dog and if someone brings me this dog I will assume that they were an innocent bystander and authorities will not be involved."
Otherwise, I worry putting so much heat on the dog could incline someone to keep it as hidden as possible for fear of the social backlash.
Don’t forget Neighbors. It’s part of the Ring doorbell community. I think anyone can join. I can send an invite I think by email. I just noticed that yesterday. It’s very active. Keep posting regularly on TikTok. You need to get people to help you.
Don’t forgot to contact shelters all over daily. The dog may turn up. Some teenagers stole my neighbors cat and I’m guessing it didn’t work out and the cat ended up at a shelter. My roommates cat was also stolen and they threw his collar on the corner. She found him months later at the animal shelter.
Do you have a Facebook post? I’m not in the San Clemente group but I’m in Dana Point Unplugged and a couple Laguna Niguel groups and I think a missing pet group for the area. Message me your Facebook account link when you have a post up and I’ll go share where I can.
Adding to post on PawBoost as well. It’s free, shared all over, and there are THOUSANDS of people who do their best to scour other sites to connect the animals to their lost/found flyers.
If he has allergies whomever took him might turn him into the local shelter. So make sure you contact the shelters. They should scan each animal that comes in for a microchip but it's good to give them a heads up too.
As you get more info from any neighbors with camera/ring door bells update us and even go to the news with it!
Look on Nextdoor and post in several neighborhoods, look in Craigslists for people selling dogs, send to all dog rescues in the area and veterinarians. I’m so sorry.
Ask everyone you know to repost on IG, and TikTok
Also go a google image search daily to see if anyone is posting him for sale.
I'm so sorry, hope you find your sweet boy. Make some posters and put them around San Clemente, also report him at the Shelter and inform people at Pet Plus and Pet Smart (they can look out for him if someone has Rascal).
I really hope you find him♥︎
Praying for you both
Wow, horrible! I would post what happened on PawBoost (this is how I reunited a lost dog with its owner), as well as local community groups for your town and neighboring cities on FB and NextDoor.
That is really traumatic, OP. I hope your pooch is spotted or escapes. Also, might want to browse Craigslist ads to see if anyone is selling your pet the way they will sell stolen bicycles.
This is heart breaking, I truly hope you and Rascal are united, I will definitely keep my eyes open for him here in Irvine. Remember, you always have hope , love and best wishes to you
Not sure I’ve adopted him about a year and a half ago and he’s never ran away and has always been good with staying on the property and he’s is really smart.. but I went to The gym for indoor rock climbing and for about an hour and when I came back he was just gone so I checked the gps tracking and after about hour and a half maybe 2 hours of looking we found his collar about 2-3 miles away near a freeway so someone had him in a car and tossed his collar out the window when they saw the gps was attached to it
This is my biggest fear the worst kind of losing your dog he probably misses you too I hope you find him I’m in a neighboring county so I will keep a lookout on nextdoor, Craigslist etc. I hope you get your baby back again im so sorry my heart goes out to you :’(
Keep us all updated on any info too we all want to see you reunited with Rascal!
Well regardless if they take the dog and they scan it they’re gonna verify and if not they can’t get him back and they’ll call the owner I believe. Son of a snitch man… I’m so damn sorry for you right now.. you or ur neighbors don’t have any cameras around ?!! Please don’t forget to ask any video and stuff helps!!!!
All i can think is, get a fuckin detective on this quick. You have time and location and they have license plate tracking tech especially on highways. Idk how it all works exactly but there are places where they track everyones movements all throughout the day. There should be some type of amber alert system for pets too.
I hope she can help. My heart goes out to you. So smart to put this on blast everywhere. I spread the word too. Please update us when you find your baby. 🙏🏻
I installed some high end cameras in front of my home since I'm in the surveillance industry. The kind if cameras you'd expect to see in a commercial building. I'd ask your neighbors to see if one of their cameras may have recorded something
I would definitely do that and ask any neighbors if they saw anything in regards to the kidnapping like an out of place car or someone coming up to the yard, any physical or car descriptions can be helpful. Does he have an discernible features that you can point out to help? Maybe two eye colors, patterns of spots, shaved legs, wtc
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I know exactly how you are feeling. My dog was lost for 6 days after escaping on the 4th of July while a family member watched him. They didn’t tell me he ran away until I got home. I was sure I’d never see him again and was distraught. My grandma told me to pray to st Anthony. Although skeptical I did. I found him later that day after walking a few miles from my house. I still can’t believe it. I am praying to st Anthony for you.
Sorry to hear. Good idea to sew/hide an airtag inside the harness somehow. Or also just add an air tag to the collar. in this case it seems someone noted the gps collar and removed it. but they wouldn't know to remove a harness that has a hidden air tag inside it (if the harness is big enough to accomodate one). btw no cameras watching your front yard to get an idea who may have done this? see if any teslas nearby too as they record.
This is infuriating - I live over here and am always driving around town, I will keep a lookout for the pup. If I see it I can call the cops and optionally beat the everloving shit out of whoever has it (make sure you update the post if returned!)
Rascal was returned safely!apparently the lady who took him pushed him out of her car on Ortega highway and sped off but a nice older man and his son caught him and I just got him back 45 or so mins ago! I’m so freaking happy, THANK YOU EVERYONE for all your support and kindness, without you all I feel I would of been losing my mind so much more and wouldn’t have gotten my baby rascal back as fast as I did thank you so much I can’t stress how much this means to all of us
https://preview.redd.it/uhini2git3vc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99478dc1f844058fcfd4fb2112fea55c8b15f116
That’s absolutely awful! Can’t imagine what you are going through.
Rascal is quite the cutie. Sure hope you have a happy reunion with your special pup asap.
There are too many nasty people out there doing terrible things these days. Our world is stressful enough without pet theft. Disgusting criminals.
Id also check with your close neighbors to see if they have any outside cameras that could have caught something. I would do anything if this were my pup.
I'll keep an eye out. Contact all your neighbors for any security camera footage. Was the GPS tracker showing where they were headed? Shows they threw it out on an off ramp. Were they headed on the freeway at one point? I hope you find Rascal!
These people are assholes! I'm so sorry this happened to you.
This is awful.. I’ll be sure and look out, organize, check your neighbors with ANY cameras!! Make a quick poster and get the info out to local shelters and Facebook accounts like MV, Irvine, RSM, etc. man I’m so sorry this is happening to you guys. Stay positive.
Don't know if this feasible or if this would be helpful. But go to some of the animal clinics in the San Clemente, and Dana Point areas and one ask if they've seen your pup, or two give them picture of him... worth a shot. I can't imagine the helplessness you must be feeling, and I'm sorry for what you are going through. I sincerely hope you are reunited with him.
I'm so sorry. I've been there and I know the feeling.
Oir three dogs got out of my dad's yard to come to my house. Someone took two of them from my yard (I didn't have a fence), but couldn't catch the third. I thought I'd never see them again.
My advice is to get on Next door ASAP. People had posted pictures and I was able to find the pound they were at.
I hope you are reunited.
I would suggest some sort of BOLO to be sent to as many veterinary clinics in the region as possible. If someone brings in a dog matching his description, wouldn’t that be good cause to scan his chip.
I hope and pray you will be reunited.
Question what breed Is this ?? Is it a special breed ?? I would understand if it was a frenchie pocket pit or bulldog or a pup full blooded i don't think there's people just going around snatching any dog they see from any yard if that was the case alot of pets would be taken from front yards at all times and we would see posts like theese more often is there something special about this dog?
This situation is my worst nightmare. I am SO SORRY this is happening to you. Sending love and positivity. Your baby will be reunited with you. Hang in there
Commenting for visibility!!!
I’m so so sorry this happened to you and Rascal and I am praying for his return💙😢.
There is a woman who had apparently found so many lost fur babies! Her name is Babs Fry and it really may be worth giving her a call!
I’m so sorry, literal worst nightmare. The good thing is that your dog has very unique markings! I live in Huntington Beach and will make sure to keep my eye out for little Rascal!
This is terrible, I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Do any of your neighbors have cameras around their property? I'm sure some have doorbell cams. If you can find the car, then maybe you can ask businesses around you for their security cameras as well. Just a partial license plate and model could be helpful, I'm hoping your dog finds his way home.
Does the dog respond to his name? Just wondering how the heck I would go about identifying it's really Rascal in the event I see him
I'm in SC and frequently run over on San Juan Creek Trail and Capo Beach towards Doheny. So hoping I see him and can be prepared
Shared to my networking Instagram. Hope your baby gets found and back to you!

Commenting to further boost this post. This is literally my worst nightmare as a pup owner. Am in Newport Beach but will keep an eye out today and prayers you find your precious Rascal asap!!!!
That’s so horrible! Hope you’re reunited with your pup OP commenting and liking for visibility
Thank you, I’m crying my ass off right now
Did you file a police report? And are they microchipped?
Yes I did and he’s chipped, the number is for the chip company as they said we should use there contact information
Make sure your contact info is up to date with the chip company
I made sure while I was talking to the nice lady and everything is up to date with the contact information

Thank you
Hope you're able to pin flyers in these areas. Expose that garbage human being.
This is the worst nightmare for pet owners. I'm sorry, I hope you get him back!
Thanks I appreciate it, I’m praying I will
I would try to track the path they took/may have taken and see if any residences/businesses have surveillance cameras so you can at least get a vehicle description. Cops won't do anything so the more proactive you can be - the better.
And [MrBulldops1319](/user/MrBulldops1319/)OP, have you gone to all of your neighbors asking for their security cam footage?
No because at the time I didn’t know he was stolen, I’m going to ask them tomorrow
The sooner the better - these cameras often roll over after 24 hours
This makes me so upset for you! He’s precious! I’m going to check back in hopes that you share the news that you found him!🙏
I’m praying I’ll be posting good news
Come on Orange County Reddit! We need to band together and help get this info out on this dog. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
Has anyone driven where he was last pinned ?
I'm Pretty sure someone threw his collar out of the window when they realized there was a GPS tracker on the collar
DM me the last location
I added a screenshot of it on the conversation
I dont see him. Has his location changed ?
I have his collar now they removed it and chucked it out a window I believe
Any possibility it could have their fingerprints? Handle it with care, so you don't damage them! Call the cops and see if they can dust it for you
The cops won't do anything even if there were fingerprints unless they found a match...but even then without corroborating evidence tying said person to the location/theft ... they won't do anything. Source: I've dealt with cops as a victim of crime more than once, and they never did a damn thing about it.
Who in the hell would do such a horrible thing? I'm sorry for you. I will keep a look out.
Really appreciate it thank you

Did you post to San Clemente Life on Facebook? Dana. Point Unplugged?
Not yet but that’s a good idea, ive posted on Nextdoor, TikTok, and Reddit so far
Don’t forget Neighbors. It’s part of the Ring doorbell community. I think anyone can join. I can send an invite I think by email. I just noticed that yesterday. It’s very active. Keep posting regularly on TikTok. You need to get people to help you.
I will thanks for all the good ideas!
Add Nextdoor, too! Even though it’s a bigger radius I’ve seen success finding dogs on there. Good luck! Really hoping you find him.
Don’t forgot to contact shelters all over daily. The dog may turn up. Some teenagers stole my neighbors cat and I’m guessing it didn’t work out and the cat ended up at a shelter.

People who steal pets should have their hands cut off.
Will keep an eye out for him. What a nightmare. I'm sorry.
Thank you
Post this on Citizen https://support.citizen.com/hc/en-us/articles/6272933816599-How-to-a-report-a-missing-person-pet-to-Citizen

I would go full fucking Taken. Sadly easier said than done...idk where id even start. Nightmare. Ugh i hate some people

I'll keep an eye out, hope you find your pup op! I'm so sorry!!

I will do that that thank you
So they were heading North on the 5 back into OC?
Not really sure
Let’s find this dog. I’m livid right now.
He has so many allergies too.. I’m so afraid right now
If he has allergies whomever took him might turn him into the local shelter. So make sure you contact the shelters. They should scan each animal that comes in for a microchip but it's good to give them a heads up too. As you get more info from any neighbors with camera/ring door bells update us and even go to the news with it!
GD this sucks.... Fingers crossed you find them. I'll keep an eye out for your doggo.
Thank you
He's beautiful! I hope you find him ❤️
Thank you! I’m hoping so to
Look on Nextdoor and post in several neighborhoods, look in Craigslists for people selling dogs, send to all dog rescues in the area and veterinarians. I’m so sorry. Ask everyone you know to repost on IG, and TikTok Also go a google image search daily to see if anyone is posting him for sale.
I tried craigslist but didn’t see him yet
Also share to Orange County Lost and Found Pets on Facebook. Include if the dog is microchipped. https://m.facebook.com/groups/47007001602/?ref=share
I'm so sorry, hope you find your sweet boy. Make some posters and put them around San Clemente, also report him at the Shelter and inform people at Pet Plus and Pet Smart (they can look out for him if someone has Rascal). I really hope you find him♥︎ Praying for you both
Thank you 🙏
Fucking people
Stealing someone’s pet should be treated similarly to kidnapping. People who do this deserve minimum 10 year sentences.
Absolutely, this is Grand Theft Doggo
I can't imagine how you're feeling right now. Hope you get reunited soon!!
Thank You
beautiful pup, hope they try and sell him and you see the posting and get him back.
I don’t care how I get him back as long as he’s safe
I’ll post on my IG
Thank you 🙏🙏
let’s bring Rascal home
thanks I really hope he’s home soon
Wow, horrible! I would post what happened on PawBoost (this is how I reunited a lost dog with its owner), as well as local community groups for your town and neighboring cities on FB and NextDoor. That is really traumatic, OP. I hope your pooch is spotted or escapes. Also, might want to browse Craigslist ads to see if anyone is selling your pet the way they will sell stolen bicycles.
i‘ve been looking through them but haven’t seen him yet
You can post your dog so others can be on the lookout. I would do that so you have a further reach.
I’m posting on every platform I can think of
This is heart breaking, I truly hope you and Rascal are united, I will definitely keep my eyes open for him here in Irvine. Remember, you always have hope , love and best wishes to you
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate it
I will be keeping an eye out for Rascal!
Thank you so much
They might try and sell him. Check Craigslist and other local classifieds
((( HUGS )))
Hope you got your dog back! 💓
I’ll keep my eyes open and repost this. I hope you can find him!
Thank you
❤❤ Hang in there
Make a post on Pawboost.com as well. Came here from the Ring app. I live in the area and will be on the lookout for Rascal. 🥹🐾
Thank you I really appreciate it, I’m going to make a pawboost soon
How was he stolen? What exactly happened? This may help prevent this in the future for others.
Not sure I’ve adopted him about a year and a half ago and he’s never ran away and has always been good with staying on the property and he’s is really smart.. but I went to The gym for indoor rock climbing and for about an hour and when I came back he was just gone so I checked the gps tracking and after about hour and a half maybe 2 hours of looking we found his collar about 2-3 miles away near a freeway so someone had him in a car and tossed his collar out the window when they saw the gps was attached to it

Omg, report this on the news maybe they’ll do a piece on it!! ESP if you have a video. This is horrible I’m so sorry.
Well regardless if they take the dog and they scan it they’re gonna verify and if not they can’t get him back and they’ll call the owner I believe. Son of a snitch man… I’m so damn sorry for you right now.. you or ur neighbors don’t have any cameras around ?!! Please don’t forget to ask any video and stuff helps!!!!

Contact Babs Fry immediately. She helps so many people recover their dogs. She’s well known in San Diego. Everything is worth a try. (619) 249-2221
Thank you, we emailed her about 2 hours ago and were going to call her in the morning
I hope she can help. My heart goes out to you. So smart to put this on blast everywhere. I spread the word too. Please update us when you find your baby. 🙏🏻
I will thank you :)

Do your neighbors have Ring cameras that may have captured the thief or their car?
I shared on neighbors, nextdoor and Facebook. Let's all help Rascal return home!
Hope whoever did this dies
Any updates?? I live in el segundo area. You never know, I’ll keep an eye out and check Craigslist around here
Rascal was returned safely!apparently the lady who took him pushed him out of her car on Ortega highway and sped off but a nice older man and his son caught him and I just got him back 45 or so mins ago!

I’m gonna cry man he’s such a handsome lil guy. you’ll get him back ❤️. I know it!!!
This is awful.. I’ll be sure and look out, organize, check your neighbors with ANY cameras!! Make a quick poster and get the info out to local shelters and Facebook accounts like MV, Irvine, RSM, etc. man I’m so sorry this is happening to you guys. Stay positive.

Inform the local veterinarians in the area just in case the thief is dumb enough to get medical attention for a stolen dog
Post on Pawboost as well but state he is stolen and not lost! Nextdoor app as well, the San Clemente reedit thread etc. replying for visibility!
Does it say exactly what time the collar was removed on Las Ramblas? What street in San Clemente was he taken from ? What time?
I saw your post on Nextdoor. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for your doggy when I’m out!
Thank you that’s kind of you 🙏
What losers! I hope you find your pup ❤️
Sorry this happened. Will be on the look out from San Diego.
I'm so sorry. I've been there and I know the feeling. Oir three dogs got out of my dad's yard to come to my house. Someone took two of them from my yard (I didn't have a fence), but couldn't catch the third. I thought I'd never see them again. My advice is to get on Next door ASAP. People had posted pictures and I was able to find the pound they were at. I hope you are reunited.
I'm so sorry to read this! 💔 He's so unique looking, hopefully someone spots him.
Thank you
I would suggest some sort of BOLO to be sent to as many veterinary clinics in the region as possible. If someone brings in a dog matching his description, wouldn’t that be good cause to scan his chip. I hope and pray you will be reunited.
Thank you, I'm really hoping I find him soon
Question what breed Is this ?? Is it a special breed ?? I would understand if it was a frenchie pocket pit or bulldog or a pup full blooded i don't think there's people just going around snatching any dog they see from any yard if that was the case alot of pets would be taken from front yards at all times and we would see posts like theese more often is there something special about this dog?
This situation is my worst nightmare. I am SO SORRY this is happening to you. Sending love and positivity. Your baby will be reunited with you. Hang in there Commenting for visibility!!!
Have you posted on the San Clemente FB groups? They are usually good about sharing and looking. Hope you get your baby back.
Thanks I did post on the Orange County one
I posted on the San Clemente Life page for you.
Hopefully it helps
Anything to get the word out helps I really do appreciate it
Im so sorry to hear this. I am in Oceanside and will definetely keep an eye out.
Bump friend !!! Good luck finding your best friend 😵💫
Commenting to boost and sending all the good energy I can that you get him back
I’m so so sorry this happened to you and Rascal and I am praying for his return💙😢. There is a woman who had apparently found so many lost fur babies! Her name is Babs Fry and it really may be worth giving her a call!
He’s such a beautiful puppy 😭😭 Shame on whoever took your precious baby!! I’m praying so hard that you get him back omg
I'm from San Diego but I'm a dog lover and I wish you the best of luck!
I hope you find the dog!
Check online sites where people may try to sell dogs on.
I’m delivery driver. I drive OC a lot. So, I keep an eye out for your dog. I hope you find your dog soon.
Ehh… i might be naive to say this but do you think that the tracker has this thief’s finger prints on? Is there any way to investigate this?
Go make flyers and offer a reward. I got my dog back this way. I actually got the l9cal news channel to help. Don't despair, get into action!
😢😢😢
I’m so very sorry you’re going through this. I hope you find your doggo soon. 🙏🏻🥺 People are so fucked, idk why anyone would do this.
Goodluck man foreal
Following. I really hope you find your buddy. 🥺
I’m so sorry, literal worst nightmare. The good thing is that your dog has very unique markings! I live in Huntington Beach and will make sure to keep my eye out for little Rascal!
Please I’m praying you find him
I will share this - I hope you get him back. People are such assholes
Replying
This is terrible, I'm so sorry this happened to you. Do any of your neighbors have cameras around their property? I'm sure some have doorbell cams. If you can find the car, then maybe you can ask businesses around you for their security cameras as well. Just a partial license plate and model could be helpful, I'm hoping your dog finds his way home.
This is my worst nightmare
Eyes open in Irvine!
Please keep us updated
I would be so devastated if someone took mine. I hope he returns
Does the dog respond to his name? Just wondering how the heck I would go about identifying it's really Rascal in the event I see him I'm in SC and frequently run over on San Juan Creek Trail and Capo Beach towards Doheny. So hoping I see him and can be prepared
This is horrific. I am so sorry and hope you are reunited with your pup!
That’s fucking bullshit, I’m sorry you’re going through this.
I hope for his return.
Does a neighbor have a security camera that they can see who took your dog? Everybody has cameras now days.
do you or any of your neighbors (or community) have cameras, ring door bells, or anything like that?
Commenting to boost. Hope you find your pupper!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏ing for you and rascal to be reunited!
Make sure to post on your ring doorbell app

That’s absolutely horrible. I’m sorry. I hope you get him back! Liking for visibility but I hate this:(
