Anyone have family or friends in Roanoke, Virginia?

UPDATE #2. (January 16th - Tuesday a.m.)

Little Man is still at large. He has moved from the cemetery and was last seen early this morning about five blocks away at a Little Cesar’s pizza shop. Traps are set and the people in Roanoak have been phenomenal in trying to help get him caught. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts, and also keep those that are so gallantly trying to help in your thoughts. These people renew my faith in humanity!!!! Thank you!!!!




UPDATE:

Little Man was spotted this afternoon at the Evergreen Cemetery in Roanoak, but he ran when approached. Supposedly to some apartments nearby. Searchers were on site, but I’m not sure they are able to still be there due to the weather. Rescue group from Texas is pleading for someone to leave some kind of shelter out in case he returns to the cemetery. Please send vibes, prayers, whatever is your practice that he survives and can be caught. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.



Lost dog that was recently transported from Texas to his new home in Roanoak and is lost in unfamiliar surroundings and circumstances. This rescuer is a friend of mine and a good person. She’s heartbroken.

Not sure I’m doing this Facebook link right, but there’s a post with his pictures and general location on this page.

Would appreciate any help/sharing of information, etc.

Thank you in advance.

Appreciate it. I know they have him listed on all the lost pet sites, have notified the animal control agency in the area, and the rescuer will be overnighting some clothing with her scent on it and a recording of her voice calling Little Man so that can be used in the search.

Again, my thanks!!!

Thank you. This is a Texas dog and we are told it’s ten degrees in Roanoak, so fear he is freezing. All help most appreciated!!!!!

After 11 days and unbelieveable efforts by some animal lovers in Roanoak - Little Man was trapped and spent last night in a warm bed.

Thank you, Virginia - from my heart in Texas!!!
