‼️ update 5/8 – please remember not to pursue this dog in any way…. It was last seen on 5/1 running south on Capital Circle NE just south of Mahan.

✅ there was a possible sighting in the Miccosukee / Blairstone area after 5/1 – if you live in this area please monitor your home camera motion alerts ✅

♦️♦️ Please Ignore if seen and report sightings ♦️♦️

*I have found additional confirmed (based on time/date/location/description) sightings of this dog and it may actually be a younger dog and not a full sized adult, and possibly a female.

📌 update 4/27 – City of Tallahassee Animal Control is now fully aware of this dog’s plight and latest sightings. Please contact them with any sightings during business hours M-F 8a-5p 850-891-2958. If you see it after business hours AND it appears injured or in distress, please contact Consolidated Dispatch 850-606-5800 and ask them to contact the on-call Animal Control Officer. ** Any other sightings after hours can be sent to me and I will continue to track its movements and update animal control. 📌

There is a Golden Retriever that has been roaming since approximately 4/20/26. It started out in the Weems Rd area (near CCNE and Mahan), but it has been seen in several areas along Capital Circle NE / Mahan Dr / Centerville Rd / Olson Rd.

If you see this dog, please do not follow it, call out to it, whistle at it etc. It is scared and in survival mode and will not let you get close. Any attempts to engage will likely cause it to keep moving. When pursued the dog has darted out on the busy roads and narrowly avoided being hit by a vehicle.

If it has been seen near your home or buisness and if you have a surveillance camera, please leave food and water in front of it so we can confirm its location. Please notify me if it is visiting your house for food.

The background of this dog …. there was another Golden Retriever found and secured on 4/21/26 in the same neighborhood where this loose one first appeared and they were initially seen together. This one that is still loose was initially described as a male, but it now appears to be a younger female. The one that is safe and being held by a Good Samaritan is an adult female. Nobody has claimed ownership of the adult female and no microchip was found when scanned by two vet offices, so we do not know the owner of this loose dog (or the one that is secured).

Please don’t post sightings on social media. You can pm me and I will coordinate with animal control.
