On Oct. 31, Rogue, the dog who has been on the run for 84 days was captured in a humane trap on Braig Road.
The four-year-old collie mix had been on her own since being adopted from the Flathead County Animal Shelter on Aug. 8 and bolting from her newly adopted person's vehicle.
Several reported sightings of the dog allowed searchers to walk nearby areas and to send drones up with hope of pinpointing her location.
Casey Corbett is fostering Rogue's sister, Anna, and spent hours walking and looking, as part of a team on the ground who did not give up hope. Anna was present on Saturday morning when Rogue was collected from the trap and brought to Flathead Pet Emergency to be examined.
She was found to be in relatively good condition. The report said she, surprisingly, had no injuries or broken teeth and was even at a healthy weight, despite having spent nearly three months on the run.
