Grey dwarf rabbit with blue harness

I lost my grey dwarf rabbit yesterday around 3pm on the CSU campus, near Laurel Street and the Lory Student Center in Fort Collins. It's a small rabbit with soft grey fur and a white underbelly, about the size of a small loaf, and it's still wearing a light blue harness with a tiny silver bell. There are a couple of unique markings: a small notch in the left ear and a white patch on the chest. This rabbit was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value; I really need it back.

Golden retriever Scout, red collar, near CSU

I lost my golden retriever, Scout, yesterday around 3pm near the CSU campus, around Mountain Ave and Prospect Rd. He's a friendly 60-pound pup with thick golden fur and a bright red collar. He has a small white patch on his chest and a tiny scar behind his right ear from a run-in with a bush. I called him, but he wandered toward Old Town and disappeared by the north gate; I’m really worried because he’s more skittish around strangers. This dog is my best friend and, honestly, I miss him a lot—if anyone found him, please reach out.

Calico cat with green eyes, lost near CSU area

I lost my cat Pixie yesterday around 6:30pm in Fort Collins, around the CSU campus area on Laurel Street by the Lory Student Center and the lagoon behind the Engineering Building. She's a 2-year-old calico about 8 pounds, with bright green eyes and white paws. She has a small black spot on her right ear and a tiny notch in her left ear, plus a faint gray stripe down her nose. I adopted her as a rescue and she is super skittish with strangers, but she is incredibly affectionate with me; I am really hoping to get her back, she means the world to me. She is microchipped, so if someone takes her to a vet they can scan the chip.
