Lost Dog — German Shepherd Near Brandon

May 5, 2026

Our beloved family member has been missing since May 3rd, and we're reaching out to our Valrico community for help bringing him home.

Buddy is a three-year-old black and tan German Shepherd, weighing approximately 70 pounds. He was last seen near Westshore in the Brandon Town Center area. He's wearing a blue collar with ID tags.

Buddy is incredibly friendly but tends to be shy around strangers, so he may keep his distance if spotted. We're asking all neighbors to keep an eye out in your yards, garages, and surrounding areas. If you see him or have any information about his whereabouts, please call us immediately at 813-555-0142.

We're grateful for any assistance our community can provide. Thank you for helping us bring Buddy back where he belongs.

If you have any information, contact Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center at (813) 744-5660 or visit Hillsborough County Animal Services.
