A friendly golden retriever mix was found on Valrico Road on May 15th and is currently being cared for at Valrico Animal Care facility. This sweet boy is large, appears to be around 5-7 years old, and has a beautiful golden coat. He was wearing a blue collar with a partial ID tag, though a microchip scan came back negative.

Despite being lost, this pup has shown wonderful manners and a gentle temperament with his caregivers. He clearly belongs to a loving family who must be missing him dearly.

If this is your dog or if you recognize him, please reach out immediately. We're also asking all Valrico neighbors to keep an eye out and share this post within your networks. Someone out there is surely searching for their beloved companion.
