Goldberg set up a trap on Wednesday night but ended up only catching one possum. Another sighting at the intersection of Johnston Drive and Mareu Drive was reported on Thursday evening, Goldberg said.
“A really nice house owner on the street corner set a trap for us there,” said Goldberg.
After setting the trap, Neil drove by every half hour to check the trap. At 10:30 p.m., the family found Leila trapped.
“She was pretty calm, very subdued,” Goldberg said after catching Leila.
He took Leila to an emergency vet on Route 22 in Union, where she was examined. She wasn’t dehydrated but weighed 3 pounds lighter. Overall, Goldberg said Leila was “in really good health. She took care of herself.
During the search, Goldberg also came across a lost Havanese who was also captured and taken to an animal shelter.
