Help Bring Bud Home

Help Bring Bud Home Bud - yellow Labrador - Neutered -
Micro-chipped - Missing from his dog sitters yard - on 107th between Normal & Parnell Chicago IL -
Dec. 26-28th of 2022.

Bud went missing from his regular dog walker that had been watching him overnight. He was Bud’s regular dog walker for several years. And when I could not get Bud an reservation with his regular boarding facility, he'd watch him. But I mostly used his dog walking services. I was told Bud went missing from his yard which is on 107th St between Normal & Parnell - Chicago IL - along with two other do

gs of his - A black male pitbull with white markings on chest & paws that went by the name of King. And a female bully breed light tan with white markings on neck, chest & paws by the name of Penny - I believe. During this time while Bud's been missing and with the help of some wonderful lost dog recovery volunteers - we’ve hung 100’s of flyers, talked to multiple people, followed up with police, gone to shelters & viewed multiple dogs in the possibility they might have been Bud. But still no Bud 😢

Bud is a purebred male Labrador retriever. He is micro-chipped & it is up to date. He was wearing a metal training collar - no tags. He is neutered. Had knee surgery on both rear legs. And also has an very identifiable feature. I’ve had him since he was a puppy. He has a loving home & he is deeply missed 💔

Please help me find him. Help Bring Bud Home

We’ve tried to keep posts focused on this. We don’t know the circumstances of how Bud went missing - all we do know is that he was in the care of his regular dog walker.

He had been walking Bud regularly for years. And occasionally overnight if boarding wasn’t available.

The day after Christmas 2022 - i dropped Bud off with him. He was watching him while I was out of town for a family funeral.

When I returned he told me he didn’t know where Bud was. That Bud along with his two dogs went missing from the yard.

If you found Bud please reach out - no questions asked. I just want my dog home 🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏼

Thank you Lost Dogs Illinois microchip hunters for diligently looking for the rightful owners & reuniting this dog with their family ❤️

Found tied outside Animal Control!

Shiloh was found tied outside of Chicago Animal Care and Control, but he was microchipped so they submitted his information to Microchip Hunters.

The phone number linked to Shiloh's microchip was invalid. Shiloh's stray hold was also ending so it became urgent to find his owner. Microchip Hunter Pauline started looking at alternatives to contact the owner and found a match on Facebook. Luckily the owner answered quickly and confirmed it was his dog.

Shiloh was missing for a few months, the owners were looking at found posts hoping to see him. They went that day to pick him up and are very happy to have him back home where he belongs!

As special occasions draw near, the sense of missing him grows with each passing moment.

Memories of his first Halloween, particularly his response to his initial costume, which he declined to wear, are etched in my mind.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and every day in between are bittersweet. The ache in my heart grows with each day he's absent
