Overview

• Scrim, a terrier mutt, was captured Tuesday morning in a humane cat trap set by a local nonprofit after months of evading capture.
• The dog became a local icon in New Orleans following two daring escapes and a nine-month saga of survival through hurricanes, freezing temperatures, and record snowfall.
• Rescue efforts involved wildlife cameras, crowdsourced sightings, and baiting attempts with Popeyes chicken and beef tripe, but Scrim repeatedly outsmarted his pursuers.
• Michelle Cheramie of Zeus's Rescues, who led the rescue mission, has fitted Scrim with a GPS collar and AirTag to prevent future escapes.
• Scrim is now in good health and will be placed with a new family, but Cheramie plans to enjoy his company before his transition to a more secure home.
