Tripawd Nation we need all the pawsitivity we can get right now and help searching the area for Sally's Frankie and Myrtle. They went missing last night and are nowhere to be found. If you live anywhere near Richmond (Sally is in Powhatan), please, keep an eye out for these pups, they're really hard to miss. If you want to help do a ground search, please contact us and we'll connect you with Sally's phone #. Thanks.

Oh no! Praying very hard for a FAST finding of them! Please keep us posted!! We care so very very much for our beloved Sally and her furfaces!
Linda with huge hugs for Sally
For those on FB, we have been posting and blasting on our Facebook walls also. You just never know.
I am beyond sick about this and just pray, pray, pray these dogs find their way home soon.
Sally - the entire Tripawds community stands beside you!!!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
I have shared and shared and shared. There was someone that sent a message on the Tripawd FB page that says she lives near the Fire Station in Powhatan and will be watching for them. I know I didn't sleep much last night been praying & and calling on our Tripawd Angels to get them home.
They will come home. I know they will
We are here for you Sally
xoxoxox I love you my friend

I saw they were missing on FB and came here for more info, hoping they had been found by now. Sending all kinds of pawsitive thoughts and love to you Sally and asking all our Spirit tripawds and St. Francis to guide Frankie and Myrtle home safely. Throwing prayers to St. Anthony in there too. And the OP has all Lucky 13 paws crossed hard as well. They are definitely a pair that will stand out in a crowd so surely someone will see them and help them get home. With the whole Tripawds Nation wishing them home how can they not be found?
xoxoxo,

I keep checking on here & facebook hoping to see that they've been found. Sally said this morning that she made fliers to pass out. I just wish there was something more I could do to help! I also have re-posted Michelle's post several times in hopes that someone knows someone in VA and will keep an eye out.
You know we're all praying Sally!

Sick hearted beyond belief....... Like everyone here I am praying, praying, praying and also could hardly sleep last night..... A couple of us members here on the east coast are trying to do what we can, networking to help find them ..... I have contacted my sister-in-law who is a veterinarian in south Richmond to help spread the info in the areas around Richmond with other vets, hoping anything helps Sally........
We are all here for you Sally, and doing what we can to help bring your babies back home.....
❤️💜💔❤️💜💔
Much Love,

Can you guys BLAST some messages out to this guy. He's a local reporter who covers tons of missing dogs. He actually covered Sally's Verizon BFF Bobby who's dog went missing last week and he was found that night. We have been posting messages to him and NOTHING yet. I have been traveling with work and just got home maybe an hour ago, so if you guys could send him messages requesting him to post about Myrtle and Frankie, you can share the post's we have on FB with him....I think this would really help ESPECIALLY if someone picked them up.

I shared to his page! I also posted to the Powhatan Animal Control, and to the newspaper there. Someone has to have them!

I too will share daily. I am in Pa, but you never know who may see it. We have an organization here called Bring Home Athena. It is for a county in Pa. Wonder if Va. Has anything like this? I am so heavy hearted for Sally. She is so wonderful to her dogs and so does not deserve this. Lori, Ty & Gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Donna I just sent him an email referring to your sharing of the story on his Facebook page and asked him if he could please help us. Let's pray he picks up on this story and helps get the word out. Sally hang in there they WILL be back!
XXOO

OK ... I shared to his page too. I, like the rest of you, could not sleep last night.... this cannot be happening to our sweet Sally.
But we are ALL family and family rallies together and together - we WILL bring those dogs home. I will keep posting as much as I can but being on the west coast, I am not sure I am much help.

I hope you feel my love and appreciation for each of you. I hope you do. Thank you. Thank you.

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Is there somehow we can call this Curt Autry and explain to him about our Sally and Myrtle & Frankie? Maybe if he gets a ton of voice mails to follow up our emails and Facebook sharings he'd help us. It's coming up to the weekend when more people are off work so maybe if we can get it out on the news at the local level it'd mean more help searching. I don't know I just need to do something to help! Maybe call the station? I'm willing to try anything.
