Fugitive dog Scrim captivates New Orleans as he evades capture efforts

A dog named Scrim has become a local celebrity in New Orleans after escaping capture multiple times. Weighing 17 pounds, the terrier mix has evaded a group of volunteers using nets and tranquilizer guns since breaking free from his new home in November. Michelle Cheramie, who runs a nonprofit shelter, is leading the effort to recapture Scrim. She has invested in equipment and organized a network of volunteers to track him down. Despite daily sightings, Scrim remains elusive, prompting a mix of community support and concern for his safety. The search has united residents, with some advocating for Scrim's freedom under the hashtag #FreeScrim. However, Cheramie and her team believe the streets are too dangerous for him. They are exploring options for a secure sanctuary where Scrim can thrive.
