Puppies lost near Fort Walton Beach Landing

I’m Ava Martinez. I lost my two puppies around 6:30 PM yesterday near the Fort Walton Beach Landing in Okaloosa / Walton, Florida, United States. They’re tiny and friendly: one wears a blue collar, the other pink, with tan and black patches. They know their names—Kai and Nala—and I’m terrified they’ll wander off in the evening crowds along the Emerald Coast Parkway. I’ve checked the boardwalk, near the fishing pier, and the nearby parking lot, and I’m clinging to hope someone spotted them. If you see them, please help bring my little ones home.

Lost hamsters in Okaloosa/Walton, FL

On Friday at 8:15 PM I realized my two hamsters were missing from their cage, which sat on the kitchen counter by the sliding glass door in Fort Walton Beach, near the Okaloosa Island Boardwalk. I thought the cage door might have been ajar when I was tidying earlier, but I can't be sure. I searched every room, and then I walked along the Boardwalk area by the water, listening for tiny squeaks and hoping they’re somewhere safe. I just want them back home with me.

Green cockatiel with yellow crest and blue leg band

I lost my green cockatiel yesterday around 3pm near the Destin Commons parking lot on Emerald Coast Parkway in the Okaloosa / Walton area. It’s a cockatiel about 11 inches from beak to tail, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheeks; the body is green and the wings are a muted gray with a hint of blue, and the feathers look a bit dusty from time outside. There’s a small blue leg band on the right leg with the code AZ-7. He’s usually pretty calm, but he’ll flutter and hide if startled. This bird is a family member and has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone found him, I’d really appreciate getting him back to his enclosure.
