Grey dwarf rabbit with black ears, last seen Dalton

I lost my grey dwarf rabbit yesterday around 5pm near the Walmart on Cleveland Highway in Dalton, Northwest GA. The bunny is about the size of a softball, with soft gray fur and distinctive black ears. It has a small white patch on its chest and a faint scar above its left paw from an old scratch. It was wearing a light blue harness with a tiny silver bell when last seen. This is my daughter's pet and it means a lot to us—I'm really worried and would be incredibly grateful to get it back safe and sound.

Bearded dragon Ember lost near Berry College campus

I lost my bearded dragon Ember yesterday around 3pm near the Berry College campus, specifically by the Garden Drive entrance near the Nature Center. Ember is about 8 inches long, with orange-tan scales and a darker stripe along the back. She has a tiny blue tail tip and a small white scar above the right nostril, which helps identify her. It would mean the world to me if someone who found her could reach out—she's lived with me for two years and this little dragon has a ton of sentimental value.

Tri-color guinea pig with blue harness

I lost my guinea pig, a little tri-color guy named Nibbles, yesterday around 6:15pm near the Chickamauga Battlefield visitor center on Battlefield Parkway in Fort Oglethorpe. He’s small—about the size of a tennis ball—with brown, black, and white fur and a distinctive white heart-shaped patch on his chest. I had him in a light blue harness when we were out in the yard, but I think he slipped away while I wasn’t looking. He’s pretty shy but incredibly gentle, and this little guy means the world to me; I really need him back. If you spot a tiny guinea pig wandering around the Chickamauga area, please message me here or text my number; I’ll head right over. I’m in Northwest GA and would be grateful for any help in bringing him home.

Blue-and-yellow budgie Pico missing near Berry College, Rome GA

I lost my blue-and-yellow budgie Pico yesterday around 3pm. I last saw him on the balcony outside my apartment near the Berry College campus in Mount Berry, GA. Pico is about 5 inches long, with a bright blue body and yellow chest, plus a small white patch on the back of his neck and a slightly ruffled tail feather on the left. He’s usually friendly and responds to 'Pico' when I call, but he’s skittish lately. If you see him anywhere around Broad Street in Rome or the Berry College area, please text me—I'm really worried and grateful to get him back.

Orange leopard gecko with speckled tail

I lost my orange leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Broad Street in Rome, GA. It's about 9 inches from head to tail, orange with dark brown leopard spots, and the tail is thick and slightly regrown. I kept it in a 20-gallon long tank with a Fluval heat lamp, a green ceramic hiding cave, and a branch basking stick. It has 1-2 unique features: a tiny blue ring around its left eye and a small nick on the edge of its right nostril near the snout. The gecko is healthy, but I'm really worried—this little guy is a gift from my daughter and holds sentimental value. If anyone spots it, message me here and I'll reply quickly.

Blue reflective dog harness with paw-print tag

Hey there, I lost my blue reflective dog harness this yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on Cleveland Highway in Dalton, Northwest GA. It's a PawGuard brand, medium size, blue nylon with a bright reflective stripe and a small paw-print ID tag that says 'Daisy' and a contact number. The left strap has a small fray from daily walks, and the buckle shows a few scratches, but it's still sturdy. It has sentimental value because Daisy wore it on every neighborhood stroll since we adopted her last year. If you found it, please drop me a message on the site and we can arrange a safe meetup near the Walmart parking lot. Really appreciate the help.
