Tan and white hamster named Nibbles, missing near Ball State

I lost my tan-and-white Syrian hamster, Nibbles, yesterday around 3pm. He’s the size of a ping-pong ball, super soft, with a white belly and a tiny notch in his right ear from a past scrape. I last saw him near the Ball State University Bookstore on University Ave in Muncie, IN, but he could’ve slipped toward the campus ponds or the apartments around the north side of campus. He’s been my constant little buddy for years, and this little guy means a lot to me; I’m really hoping to get him back safe. If you’ve seen him or someone brings him in, please reach out—he’s dearly missed and I’ll be forever grateful.

Black Labrador mix with orange harness, lost in Muncie

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my dog is missing. He's a black Labrador mix, about 65 pounds, wearing an orange harness with a small green reflective strip and a white patch on his chest. We were near Ball State University campus and the Muncie Mall when he slipped a lead and ran off. He’s a rescue who means the world to us and he gets scared around strangers, so I'm really worried and hoping he comes back soon. If anyone found him, please email me at [email protected]; I’d be so grateful to be reunited.
