Lost Dog — German Shepherd Near Brandon

May 8, 2026

Our Valrico community is asking for your help locating a beloved family member. Duke, a 3-year-old male German Shepherd, has been missing since May 6th from the Parsons Avenue area near Brandon High School. He weighs approximately 75 pounds and has distinctive tan and black coloring with a small white patch on his chest.

Duke is gentle and responds to his name. If you've spotted him in the Brandon or surrounding Valrico neighborhoods, please reach out immediately. We're asking all residents to keep their eyes open while walking, driving, or spending time outdoors. Check your yards, garages, and sheds—scared pets sometimes hide in unexpected places.

Any information, no matter how small, could help bring Duke home. If you have any information, contact Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center at (813) 744-5660 or visit Hillsborough County Animal Services.
