We are reaching out to our Valrico and Brandon community with an urgent request for help. Duke, a beloved 3-year-old male German Shepherd, has been missing since April 24th from the Westshore area near Brandon Town Center.

Duke is approximately 75 pounds with a tan and black coat. He is wearing a collar with ID tags and responds to his name. He was last seen near the intersection of Brandon Boulevard and Lithia Pinecrest Road.

If you live in or frequent the Brandon area, please keep an eye out for Duke during your daily activities. Check your yards, garages, and sheds. Dogs under stress may hide in unexpected places. If you spot him or have any information about his whereabouts, please contact us immediately.

Our family is heartbroken and desperate to bring Duke home. Your vigilance and compassion could make all the difference.
