******Final Update – Thank You for Helping Us Search for Riggs******
It is with heavy hearts that we share Riggs has been located. Sadly, he was struck by a vehicle and did not survive.
While this is not the outcome we had hoped for, we are incredibly thankful for the overwhelming support from our community. From those who helped search, shared posts, handed out flyers, made donations, or simply kept Riggs in their thoughts—your kindness and compassion meant the world to us.
Riggs was more than just a station dog—he was part of our family. We will miss him deeply.
Thank you again, Midlothian, for standing with us.

We’re incredibly grateful to Carrie Butterfield and her tracking dog, Bullet, who generously donated their time and efforts to help us search for Riggs.
Our station cameras last saw Riggs around 2:45 PM on Friday, heading toward Highway 287. A passerby reported seeing him near the on-ramp around 3:00 PM. Carrie and Bullet were able to track Riggs to that same area before the scent trail disappeared.
We also received a report that a small black SUV was seen attempting to stop and possibly pick up Riggs around that time. We’re not making any assumptions, but we would greatly appreciate any information about this vehicle or the person driving it. It may be someone who was simply trying to help.
If you know anything that could help, please contact Fire Station 1 at 469-672-0920 immediately.
Thank you again to everyone who continues to support the search—we’re doing everything we can to bring Riggs home safely.
