Emerald bearded dragon, 12 inches, orange beard

I lost my emerald bearded dragon yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart Supercenter on Highway 84 in Brookhaven, Southwest MS. He's about 12 inches long from snout to tail, mostly emerald green, with a bright orange beard that flares when he's excited. He has a crescent-shaped scar on the left jaw and a faint blue tint along the edge of his belly scales. I kept him in a tall glass terrarium with a red heat lamp and fake cactus decor; he could have wandered into the parking lot or into the nearby eateries. He goes by the name Zora and answers to 'Zora' when I call him. This little guy is a gift to my daughter and has sentimental value. I’m really worried and would be grateful to get him back.

Tuxedo cat Milo with blue collar missing near library

I lost my black-and-white tuxedo cat named Milo yesterday around 3pm. He's about 9 pounds, with a short coat, bright green eyes, a tiny notch in his left ear, and he wears a blue collar with a brass tag that says Milo. I last saw him near the Brookhaven Public Library on Main Street in downtown Southwest Mississippi; he slipped into the alley between the bookstore and the cafe. He's very friendly but skittish with strangers, and I'm really worried—he's microchipped but I don't know if the info is up to date. If anyone finds him, please contact me; I miss him a lot.

Lost bright green parakeet named Kiwi in a backyard in Southwest Mississippi.

I lost my bright green parakeet named Kiwi in my backyard around Southwest MS. Kiwi flew out of her open cage when I went outside to check on my plants. She's very social and loves to chirp, so if anyone spots her, please let me know. I really miss her!
