So very upsetting to hear 😢💔 our hearts are with Shipley’s loving mom who did absolutely everything she possibly could to try and bring this nervous boy home. There was an amazing TEAM out looking for him every step of the way 💕 if you see any flyers in your area, please help his grieving family by taking them down.
Rest In Peace sweet Shipley🌈❤️
10/18/21 It is with heavy hearts we share that Shipley, missing from West Roxbury since 8/11, has been found and unfortunately did not make it. Shipley traveled great distances and covered many towns surrounding the Boston area. While this is not the outcome anybody would ever wish, Shipley will finally be brought home to his amazing mom who can at least have closure.
There are no words that we can say to express how grateful we are for every single person’s support of Shipley. Missing Dogs Massachusetts would like to thank our volunteers Casey W, Cindy K, Carey K, Kelly M, Deb N, Danielle M, and Beth C for their relentless efforts in Shipley’s recovery, PAWS New England volunteers Suzy S and Chuck HJ for their continued help & support, Katrina who without, Shipley's mom wouldn’t have this closure, Bethany (Dedham ACO) and every other ACO who provided us with the resources we needed, Dedham ARL, the staff at Harvard Yard, and each and every person who called in sightings, hung flyers, allowed feeding stations and traps on their property, and prayed concern for this little boy who evaded every single attempt at a safe recovery. There are so many people we may have missed, but please know, you have been a huge help. We had over 80 sightings of Shipley, with him traveling hundreds of miles, but never fully stopping. Our team responded to every single sighting with feeding stations, constantly put new plans in place as needed, but he never stopped traveling which makes it hard for recovery.
Shipley has left a huge impact on everyone’s hearts and will be forever remembered. If you live in the area and see any flyers, the family would greatly appreciate any help in removing them.
