📍SYDNEY IS HOME! The amount of shares of this post was so encouraging. Thank you all! Details about her return are posted below. 📍
On the evening of July 3, 2024, Sydney clawed her way out of her fenced in yard, likely to chase a rabbit. She was last seen on the 4400 block of Highland Avenue in Shadyside, Ohio (Belmont County). She is also afraid of fireworks, so she may have gone into hiding somewhere. She is very loved and missed. If seen, please call her owner, Nan, at 740-359-7250.
Update from Sydney’s mom at 8:00am, Friday, July 5:
My beloved Sydney is still missing after getting through the fence and chasing after a rabbit in Shadyside. Absolutely no sightings. She is an indoor dog, not used to the summer heat. She is so loving, never leaves my side. She also loves her dog brother, Frank. Many many thanks & love to those who have been searching and posting over & over. Shadyside & the Ohio Valley have certainly rallied behind me. If you have her, just bring her home. No questions asked. Please. I’m heartbroken
Update from Sydney’s mom at 10:50pm, Monday, July 8:
Tonight I was tracked down at dinner with a very sincere call from a complete stranger telling me Sydney had been spotted. I flew home and several people legitimately had spotted her! First sighting ever. Many people called & texted about hearing she was seen. Several sightings finally tonight. I did not see her. Her collar is intact and her tags jingle as she runs. Pray she returns to me tomorrow. Shadyside & the entire Ohio Valley, you are amazing!!!Special thanks to Erica Kerns for that call ❤️ She is very close to home!!
Update from Sydney’s mom at 6:50am, Tuesday, July 9:
SYDNEY IS HOME!!!!!! A wonderful man named Hunter found her just now before going to work. Thank you Hunter. Thank you Shadyside!! Thank you Ohio Valley!! You all are amazing. You all turned out for us. She’s dirty & tired & full of burrs but she’s home. What a beautiful community we live in! Thank you all. He caught her down by the water treatment plant. I am beyond ecstatic ❤️

Rue is a petite female who snuck out of her house last night, Tuesday, June 5, 2024. She was last seen behind the Dollar General Store on Route 250 in Colerain, Ohio, Belmont County. She is an indoor cat who does not have a collar on. This is her first adventure outside, so she is likely scared and hungry. If you spot her, kindly contact her owner at 304-281-4238.

Click on the post below and comment your birthday wishes for this local entrepreneur!
In 2017, at 9-years-old, this sweet young man asked, "Mommy, can we start a dog treat company?" Steve and I had him think about it for weeks to ensure it wasn’t a passing whim. Two weeks passed, and after he asked again, our family officially started Zeb's Barky Bites. Since day 1, we have been licensed and insured and have fulfilled all the regulations to sell pet treats legally. We definitely wanted him to learn about business, but it has always been important to teach him to do things the right way. Plus, Zeb has grown up knowing the importance of honesty in his personal and professional life.
We've come quite a ways since that first farmers' market, and Zeb is still intent on making the absolute best pet treats he can. So today, on Zeb's 16th birthday, please join us in wishing him a “Happy Birthday” in the comments below. You will be entered in our 16 for 16 contest! 16 random winners will be chosen to receive their choice of either a bag of Chicken Jerky or a bag of Freeze Dried Chicken (the preferred choice of Zeb's cherished pups, Liam and Layla).
Please share so we can get Zeb as many wonderful wishes as possible! Thank you for sticking with, us and graciously allowing us to be a little part of your pets' lives. ❤️

Founded in 1974, the Belmont County Animal Rescue League (BCARL) in Belmont, Ohio, is the oldest animal welfare agency in Belmont County. It was organized by three caring and compassionate citizens of the community who saw a need for structured animal welfare programs. BCARL founders John Pickenpaugh, Dr. Daniel McBride DVM, and Elaine Barnes believed that to have an impact on serious animal issues in Belmont County, they would need to develop innovative resources and services that would have a lasting effect and save lives.
BCARL’s programs and offerings have changed over the years, but one thing has remained true - we endeavor to decrease shelter populations, address neglect and cruelty, and see animals placed in loving homes where they can receive the care and comfort they deserve. Our main focus at this time is animal abuse and neglect. We employ humane agents, sworn in by the court, to investigate alleged cases of abuse and neglect in order to protect and assist animals in our county.
Our current programs focus on:
Humane Operations - rescue, recover, and re-home abused and neglected animals
Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Events - open to anyone regardless of residency or income
Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) - open to residents of Belmont County, Ohio, with low-income (proof of income and residency required)
Trap, Neuter, Return - offering residents assistance in addressing community cat issues
BCARL Cares - offering assistance with a portion of veterinarian bills in cases of extreme emergency (must meet qualifications)
Transport Partner Program - assist with transporting animals from shelters in one area of the country to rescue, foster, or forever homes in another part of the country
We are only able to offer our programming as funds exist. We are thankful to everyone who supports our non-profit by becoming a member or pledging financial support. For additional information about BCARL, including ways you can become involved, please visit our website at BCARL.net.
