Emerald cockatiel with orange cheeks, lost in Odessa

I lost my emerald-green cockatiel, Mango, yesterday afternoon around 3pm. He's a medium-sized parrot, bright yellow head with orange cheek patches, blue-tinted tail feathers, and a small blue leg band on his right leg reading 'MG-7'. I last saw him near the Odessa Country Club on 7th Street by the coffee shop; he usually sits on my shoulder and freestyles a little chirp, but he fluttered away when I stopped to tie my shoe. He’s really special to me and has sentimental value; I’d be grateful to get him back.

Bearded dragon lost near Midland Home Depot

Yesterday around 3:15pm I was cleaning Mochi's terrarium when he must've slipped out through the living room door and vanished. I spent the next hour poking around under couches and along baseboards, but no sign. He’s a bearded dragon, about 14 inches long from head to tail, with a tan body and a bright orange beard. There’s a small black V-shaped mark on his back near the shoulder and a microchip ID #981234. He’s my little buddy and this little guy has sentimental value to me. If anyone spots him near the Home Depot on Andrews Highway in Midland, please text me right away.

Pink dog harness with Milo tag

I lost my pink Rabbitgoo dog harness yesterday around 3pm near the Ector County Public Library on Lee Ave in Odessa. It's a small-to-medium harness, bright pink with a neon orange reflective stripe and a detachable blue leash still attached. There's a tiny silver bell on the front strap and a name tag that says 'Milo' with a phone number engraved on the back. The harness is a bit worn from daily use and is important to Milo's safety during our walks. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate returning it—Milo gets anxious when we're apart.

Lost tan ferret with white chest patch named Ziggy near a neighborhood in Odessa, Midland, Texas.

I lost my friendly ferret named Ziggy while I was walking in my neighborhood in Odessa. He slipped out of his harness while chasing a squirrel, and I haven't been able to find him since. Ziggy is tan with a white patch on his chest and is super curious, so I’m really hoping someone spots him nearby.
