🚨 URGENT: DRACO IS STILL MISSING – NO SIGHTINGS IN OVER 60 HOURS 🚨
As of 10:00 AM Sunday, February 16, Draco has been missing for over 61 hours with NO confirmed sightings. This is extremely concerning, as we do not know the extent of his injuries after being hit by a truck.
💡 BACKGROUND STORY – HOW DRACO GOT LOST:
On the night of Thursday, February 13, around 9:00 PM, Draco and his older sibling (another German Shepherd) broke through the latch of their wooden privacy fence and escaped. Tragically, both dogs were hit by a truck. Draco’s sibling took the brunt of the impact and is injured but doing okay. However, Draco, likely scared and in survival mode, ran off and was last seen around midnight in the wooded area near 800 block of Colegate Drive, Marietta, OH.
Since then, there have been no confirmed sightings.
🚁 SEARCH EFFORTS:
🔹 The owner is actively going door-to-door with flyers and searching on foot.
🔹 MOV Drone Workz has conducted multiple thermal drone searches, covering a large wooded area with no sign of Draco.
🔹 The thermal drone is standing by if we get a confirmed sighting to direct the search.
🔹 We desperately need a lead to go on.
🐾 DRACO’S DESCRIPTION:
• Breed: German Shepherd
• Color: Mostly black with brown markings on legs, neck, and tail
• Age: 2 years old
• Male, intact (not neutered)
• Not wearing a collar
⚠ He is injured but could still be on the move!
