NEW ORLEANS — After being caught and rescued last month, Scrim, a dog that had Mid-City residents searching everywhere for nearly 6 months, is on the run again. The owner said Scrim jumped 13 feet from a second-floor window and escaped on Friday morning.
Scrim was adopted from Zeus' Rescues but fled from his new home. Since then crews were out with net-guns, and veterinarians with tranquilizer darts, trying to catch him. Social media was inundated with "Scrim-sightings". He was found and taken in Oct. 23 where he was checked out at Metairie Small Animal Hospital.
Now, Michelle Cheramie, the owner of Zeus' Rescues is asking for help in finding the "scruffy white terrier mutt, who is wearing a black collar and was recently shaved, to alert her immediately," Nola.com reported.
Cheramie said Scrim chewed through a screen of an open window on the second floor of her house. In an Instagram post, surveillance video captured Scrim leaping from the window to the ground and running away.
"He was last seen in the Carrollton neighborhood on Spruce between Joliet and Dante when the battery on his GPS collar died. The Scrim team have put fliers up in the neighborhood and are going door to door today," she said in the post.
So far Scrim was spotted twice. On Friday night, he was seen around 11:30 p.m. near Blue Cypress Books. Then on Saturday around 11:30 a.m., he was seen near Tchoupitoulas Street by Children's Hospital, our partners reported.
Cheramie asks that anyone who sees Scrim contact her at (504) 231-7865.
