REWARD OFFERED - MISSING FROM BEVERLY, OHIO - 8 DAYS MISSING
River is a 6-year-old female German Shepherd mix, tan with black markings on her face. No collar, no tags. She has anxiety and is very skittish around strangers.
A reward is now being offered by River's family for information that brings her home.
Read this part carefully. The reward is for the sighting, not the catch. Do not try to catch her. Do not chase her, corner her, or call out to her. River has been pushed for eight straight days and every attempt to grab her sends her farther out. The person who brings River home will be the person who stops, watches quietly, and picks up the phone.
River is not from Beverly. Her owner had to travel and left her with family here. On August 18, while being walked, she slipped out of her harness and was gone in seconds. She has no home here to run to and no voice she recognizes, so every person trying to help her has been a stranger.
For six days she stayed inside the village. She was seen near the dam and lock, behind the high school, on 3rd Street, in the trailer park, and walking up Main Street while drivers swerved to avoid her. Our drone caught her on video on Main Street.
The last two days she has gone quiet. She has also been seen limping, and we do not know whether she is hurt or was struck by a vehicle. She may be lying up close by, or she may have crossed the bridge toward Waterford.
We have flown three thermal drone flights and we have two humane traps in the field, one satellite monitored, one on cellular cameras. Both are cold. We need one sighting.
WHAT WOULD HELP MOST RIGHT NOW
Check your cameras. Doorbell, security, game cameras. Look at the last three days.
Check your outbuildings, sheds, barns, under decks and porches, brush lines, and the roadside ditches.
If you live in Waterford, Lowell, or anywhere along the river, please look and please share. She may already be out your way.
Comment your town below so we know where this post is reaching.
Report anything, even a maybe.
DO NOT CHASE. DO NOT CALL OUT TO HER. DO NOT TRY TO CATCH HER.
Stop where you are. Note the location, the time, and the direction she was traveling. Then call us right away, day or night.
