Find Lucy

07/09/2022

If anyone lives in that area and finds out if the dog has been caught, please message me as soon as possible. We do not live in the area and aren’t able to actively search as the last sighting was 8:45 am yesterday. The people who saw the dog thinks it looks like Lucy’s picture but still uncertain of s*x. Thank you!

Today marks a year since Lucy disappeared. We just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has cared, and especially to those who have assisted in any way in helping us find her. We’ve seen the messages and followed up on all the leads, even if we haven’t responded or been active on this page in awhile.

I am going to follow this post with another Lost Dog post including all of her Info, so please, share that next post all over the place. Particularly for those of you who are local, and please keep a lookout over this next week in case you see or hear of anyone visiting from out of town with an adorable red dachshund.

Happy Birthday, Lucy, wherever you are. We love you and miss you everyday ❤

Thank you so much to everyone contacting me about the female dachshund recently found in Smyrna and currently at Brandywine SPCA. It isn't Lucy. She looks very similar but there are some color differences and she's younger than Lucy.

~PLEASE HELP US FIND OUR LOST DOG!~
MISSING: Female, Short Hair Miniature Dachshund
WHERE: Lewes, DE (Herring Creek area)
WHEN: 11/21/2019
DESCRIPTION: She is 8 years old, spayed & Microchipped. She is auburn red in color with a gray snout. She is no longer up to date on shots. She has occasional back issues which require Veterinary intervention to avoid permanent, expensive damage. Go to her page, for contact information and further details.

On a personal note: To us, Lucy is our first Baby. We’ve raised her since she was 9 weeks old and it feels like we are missing a limb without her getting underfoot, burrowing herself in our bed, and barking at everything and anyone that goes by. This girl may be short in stature but she has a huge personality, and she is extremely close with her family. Every single day I wonder if today is the day I get a phone call saying she’s been found/returned. PLEASE keep a lookout for her and make contact if you have any information. We’ll pay a reward if she’s found and returned to us. We love her and miss her more than I can say.

Please help us find Lucy! $ REWARD for her safe return to her devastated family.

It’s almost been 6 months but we haven’t, and won’t, give up on finding our 8 year old miniature dachshund. She’s red with a graying snout, weighed about 10 pounds, and is spayed and microchipped. She ran away from the pet sitter in Lewes, DE in November just before Thanksgiving. Please share this post, especially to lost pet groups, rescues, shelters, and veterinarians. We need her to be scanned for a microchip so she can come home where she belongs! Go to Find Lucy for more details and owner contact information. Thank you so much for sharing/re-posting!

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DOG? Please help us find her!

Lucy has been missing since 11/21 from Lewes, DE. She’s an 8 year old red short hair mini dachshund with a microchip. She’s spayed and was wearing the collar in the photo when she ran away from the dog walker. Go to her page Find Lucy for more information and contact details. There’s a reward for her safe return to her family.

She is a beloved member of our family. We’ve raised her since she was 9 weeks old, and we’ve been heartsick without her. Please, share this post and contact me directly if you have any information. She could be anywhere - maybe someone visiting DE for Thanksgiving found her and took her home with them. Our hope is that maybe with people stuck indoors and using social media a bit more than usual, that someone who knows something will see this. Or someone who took her in will no longer be able to keep her and will turn her over to a Vet, rescue, or shelter. THANK YOU!

104 days and it still doesn't feel real. Where is Lucy?! She was lost in Lewes, DE on 11/21 and hasn’t been seen since the week of Thanksgiving. Please keep sharing and looking! There is no way to keep up with searching for her in multiple states by ourselves. We’ve posted her as missing on every website we can think of, there are large road signs and flyers posted all over the area in which she was lost, we’ve contacted many Delaware and surrounding states Veterinarians, shelters, and rescues with her photo and information, but we can’t possibly contact them all or continually check in. Therefore we have to heavily rely on good samaritans and the power of social media 🙏

Lucy stats:
-Female, red, short hair miniature dachshund with gray snout
-8 years old, spayed and microchipped
- weighed about 10 pounds
- typically skittish with strangers and fear aggressive with other dogs, barks a lot. DO NOT CHASE HER.

Go to for remaining details on Lucy and contact information. Thank you!

81 days in limbo. Where is Lucy?! She was lost in Lewes, DE on 11/21 and hasn’t been seen since the week of Thanksgiving. We’re hoping and praying that she’ll turn up, that someone has taken her in and that she’ll either be spotted, taken to a Vet and scanned for a microchip, or that the person is unaware she’s a beloved, lost pet and will soon find out that she has heartbroken owners still looking for her and they’ll turn her in. Please keep looking! There is no way to keep up with searching for her in multiple states by ourselves.

This little peanut has brought us so much joy and we miss her terribly. It is a drastic change to suddenly have her out of our lives after 8 years with no closure, and we are in no way ok with it or used to it. At this point we aren't sure what to think, so there is no way to accept any of the possible outcomes or have a clear way to move forward. Please just keep helping us look for her, locally but also in all the surrounding states at shelters/rescues and lost+found pet sites, for sale ads, veterinary clinics....anywhere you can think of because we are at a loss at what else to do. We just want her back, or at the very least, to know what happened to her. Please go to for more information and thank you in advance for your assistance.

Lucy the red mini dachshund has been missing from Lewes, DE for 8 weeks now. We have been focusing lately on making sure as many Shelters, Veterinarians, and Rescues are aware as possible. 🙏 Please help us by sharing her posts, page or flyers to them! 🙏Particularly Veterinarians, as if Lucy is brought in by someone who is passing her off as their dog, the Vet would never know since it is not routine to scan for microchips. If they have her photo and are aware she is missing, then they should be prompted to scan her and we could get the phone call we've been in agony waiting for.
Please visit her page for more info. Again please do not chase or yell if you spot her, and call me asap with any sightings. Thank you 💕

DON’T GIVE UP ON LUCY!!! We're still actively searching for our lost red short hair miniature dachshund from Lewes, DE. Have you seen her? She hasn't been seen since around Thanksgiving. Maybe someone was visiting DE for the holiday, found her and took her with them (she is microchipped, and we will pay a large reward for her return). Or she could also still be out roaming near the area she went missing as she's skittish and probably wouldn't go up to people (so please do not chase her or yell at her!) Either way, please keep a lookout and visit her page for further information. Thank you in advance 🙏 We miss her terribly and our entire family is devastated that this has happened. She doesn't deserve this! She should be at home on the couch cuddled up to one of us on a comfy blanket like she usually is. We even miss her incessant barking at every little noise outside 😢. We're in limbo until we find her, and it's a painful place to be stuck in, to say the least. Thank you for all of your help and support and continuing to search and spread the word about Lucy. We are very grateful and know that we would never find her if it weren't for your help.

12/23/2019

Lucy LOVES Christmas. She goes crazy for her stocking and we have to let her go first so she doesn't hurt herself jumping up for it. We're still holding out hope for a Christmas miracle that she'll be with us Wednesday to open her stocking. Thank you for all of your efforts so far, and please keep helping us find her! 🙏

Anyone who has a Ring or outdoor security cameras, will you help us find Lucy? 🙏

If so, and you live within the area in the photograph, would you be willing to put some food outside in the late afternoon within view of a camera? If Lucy is still out there on her own, she’ll be coming out of hiding and looking for food at dusk until dawn. Catching her on camera will tell us where to set a trap, and is a much safer method of actively finding her that won‘t spook her and cause her to run farther away.

Any food - without bones - will do, though the stronger it smells, the better. Like overcooked beef hot dogs, canned cat or dog food, and cooked bacon.

If you are willing to do this, first of all THANK YOU. I can’t say that enough. We have been grilling outside and putting food out almost the entire time Lucy has been missing, but as we’ve had no luck so far, we think she’s too far away to smell it from our house.

Please privately message me, call or text me, if you want to help and have any questions.

Visit Find Lucy for more details on our search.

Hola, y gracias por visitar su página. Lucy desapareció en el pueblo de Herring Creek el jueves 21 de noviembre y fue vista por última vez en la tarde. Ingresando las palabras hacia Baypoint ese día, y no ha habido avistamientos desde entonces. Tiene ocho años, una miniatura de color marrón rojizo Dash Sean. Ella tenía un collar de flores color melocotón con una campana. Tenía algo de peso alrededor de su boca. Ella se asusta y no es como estar al aire libre. Hay una recompensa en efectivo. No la persiga, llame al 717-309-1536 o al 717-487-5996 de inmediato. Te agradezco mucho si compartes esta publicación.

Lucy's been missing for 1 month today. We want more than anything to have both our kiddos with us for Christmas and are hoping and praying that happens. Please help us by continuing to look for her and spread the word. All information about Lucy and our desperate search for her is on her page

Missing Dachshund Lucy - Update: (for full details on Lucy please visit her page Find Lucy)
At this point I’m going to publicly share the leads that we have so far, but stress that if she is spotted, she should not be chased, yelled at, or attempted to be caught. Please just snap a picture if you can and call me with the details. If we are lucky enough to get a sighting of her, the last thing we want to have happen is for her to panic and run off and disappear again.

We received 1 confirmed sighting so far as a result of sending the Lost Dog postcards. It was over 2 weeks ago. She was seen and was attempted to be caught in the Angola By the Bay development.
We had 1 potential sighting that occurred that same week, the day before Thanksgiving. A dog fitting Lucy’s description - both in appearance and behavior - was seen with an older man on a leash being walked at Massey’s Landing. Due to that potential sighting, we have since been trying to cover the Long Neck area as much as possible. Many businesses there now have fliers, and I’ve been posting to their Community Board here on FB, but we have not been able to get into the Pot Nets developments. I believe there are 6 in Long Neck, so it’s a daunting amount of ground to cover. Anyone who can help with that - getting the HOA to send something out, post something on their website, preferably putting up fliers/going door to door (security would not allow us to) etc. it would be very greatly appreciated.
During this timeframe, someone also reported possibly seeing her run across Rt. 24 between Camp Arrowhead and Angola Roads during the night.
Our last potential sighting is all the way in Seaford. Someone caught what appears to be a dachshund (no collar) on their Ring camera the night of the 7th. The video isn’t clear enough, nor is the dog visible for more than a few seconds, so we’re not sure if it’s Lucy. That Good Samaritan agreed to put food out on the porch and items with our scent in an attempt to lure the dog back, with no luck so far. We’ve alerted the local vets, shelters, and put up fliers at businesses in Seaford. It’s 30 miles away from where Lucy went missing, so if she’s out that way, she did not get there on her own.

Please continue to inform us of anything you see as soon as possible. We are working with a Dog Tracker Carmen Brothers so if you think you’ve seen Lucy, we need to have Carmen out with her dog ASAP to confirm it was Lucy and track her scent while it is still fresh.

Also please, please, please continue to look around your properties and neighborhoods, especially with the weather turning colder. Lucy is short and fit, so she could easily be getting under a porch/deck, shed, foundation, etc. or anywhere that would provide some shelter.

Finally, as a reminder, we are offering a reward for her safe return to us, no questions asked. The reward amount will more than cover the adoption fee or purchase of an available dog. Lucy has been with us for 8 years and is a family member. She cannot have puppies (she is too old and is spayed) and deserves to live out her remaining adult and senior years in the comfort of her own home with her parents who have raised her from puppyhood. Lucy, like many dachshunds, has shown signs of having back issues as she’s gotten older and on a few occasions already we’ve had to put her on steroids and strict crate rest to heal. Without doing that, and as the issue continues to progress with age, very expensive surgeries will be required.
Her crate is still sitting open on the front porch and it will be staying there, should an anonymous drop off be preferred.

Heading back down to DE today to continue our search for Lucy through the weekend. If you live close to my parents house, you should have gotten/will get today a Lost Dog postcard. I have a holiday favor to ask. If you're going to throw it out, could you please consider passing it on instead? We spent as much money as we could (our Christmas "gift" to each other 😞) to get postcards out to as large an area as possible, but that's still only within a couple mile radius of my parents house. Instead of throwing away our "gift", maybe you could post it in your workplace breakroom? Your gym? Your church? A drive thru? If you're going to a restaurant or store, ask if they will hang it up? You get the idea. Our greatest hope is that these postcards will lead to the BEST Christmas gift we could ever receive...Lucy at home with us, safe and sound.
Many, many thanks in advance ❤

On this day last year 😢 We miss you Lucy and are doing everything we can think of to bring you home.

ATTENTION outdoor cat owners and feral cat feeders, or anyone with knowledge about this! WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Lucy, our dachshund, has been missing for 2 weeks now with no sightings even though we have been putting out tasty, smelly food in multiple locations every night. If she is still out there roaming, this leads us to wonder if she has already found a reliable food source. While I can’t imagine her braving a feral cat community, we’re exhausting all possibilities.

If you, anyone you know, or if you have any knowledge about outdoor feedings in the Lewes/Long Neck/Angola areas, can you please message me or preferably send me an email with this information? [email protected]

My husband and I are headed back down to Lewes today to continue our search for her through the weekend. We may, depending on information we receive, ask to set up a trail camera overnight to see if Lucy is visiting the area. We heard that this is how Buttercup the dog from Baywood was found earlier in November - she was visiting a cat community for food.

THANK YOU 🙏

Please visit the Find Lucy page for more information on our search to find our furbaby.

8 years ago today Lucy was a surprise birthday gift for me from my then fiancee. Pictured here is them on their drive home that day, her very first photo. When I arrived home from work there was this 1.5 pound peanut of a puppy dwarfed by a red bow, and I promptly burst into tears. It was love at first sight. I distinctly remember getting up with her that first night when she would cry, as all new Mom's do, and holding her until she fell back asleep. Lucy was with us when we got married, bought our first home, and expanded our family 18 months ago with her little brother. I have raised her since she was a little 9 week old baby and cannot accurately express how incredibly painful this is, especially today on our 8 year "anniversary".
Lucy has been missing from Lewes, DE since 11/21 and ther have been no sightings. I beg you to please keep sharing, looking, posting, and discussing our lost girl not just here on Facebook but also with your friends, neighbors, family, and coworkers. Especially with those that are not on Facebook. You never know who might have heard or seen something. We are basically in agony waiting for any news or leads or sightings. Please help us find her, and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Again, please call with any info or sightings and do not chase her or yell for her. 717-487-5996 or 717-309-1536. Please visit and follow her page, Find Lucy () for more information and recent photos.

12/01/2019

While we will offer a cash reward for her safe return home, if you or someone you know has or finds Lucy here a few anonymous suggestions to return her to us if that is preferred. Her crate is on the front porch, so she can be put in there and you can ring the doorbell or honk your horn and leave, no questions asked. Or she can be turned over to the Savannah Animal Hospital in Lewes, or the BVSPCA in Georgetown who are aware she is missing and will call us if she is brought in. For that matter, just returning her to any shelter or veterinarian will be appreciated as she is microchipped and they should be able to contact us that way. We can be reached directly at 717-487-5996 or 717-309-1536.
