Cockatiel lost near Court Street, Florence

I lost my cockatiel Pico yesterday around 3pm after a gust knocked him from my shoulder near the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library on Court Street. He's a small olive-green bird with orange cheeks, and he wears a tiny red leg band that says 'PICO' on it. He’s friendly but a bit skittish around strangers, so he might be hiding in trees or bushes near River Heritage Park. Pico means the world to me—I've had him since last year and he brightens my days; I really need him back. If you see him or hear anything, message me here and I can meet you to check quickly.

Grey dwarf hamster with pink harness missing

I lost my grey dwarf hamster, Nibbles, yesterday around 3pm. He’s a tiny ball of fur, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a soft grey coat and a white belly, and he wears a pink harness with a small silver bell. There’s a tiny white dot behind his left ear that’s easy to spot if you’ve seen him before. We were in the Walmart parking lot on Florence Boulevard when I realized the carrier was empty, and I’m really worried—Nibbles is a rescue and means the world to me. If you’ve seen him, please message me here; I’ll rush over with his favorite veggies and a cozy towel.

Lime green dog harness with paw patch

I lost my lime green dog harness with a tiny paw patch yesterday around 3pm. I was near the CVS on Court Street in Florence, AL when my pup pulled away and it slipped off the leash in the parking lot. The harness is neon lime with reflective stripes and a small red tag etched with the name 'Nova.' This harness is the only thing my rescue dog will wear, and it has a lot of sentimental value because we adopted him last year. If anyone finds it, I’d really appreciate you letting me know so I can get it back to Nova.
