Three much-loved dogs are missing in County Armagh after Halloween fireworks frightened them, with residents asked to check nearby properties and review security-camera footage for possible sightings.
The missing dogs are Daisy, Roxy and Izzy. Lost Paws NI is helping to locate their owners, and anyone who sees one of the animals is asked not to chase or approach it because the dogs may be frightened and could run.
Where the dogs went missing
Daisy, described as nervous, was last reported missing from the Scarva area at 6pm on Friday, October 30, after being spooked by a firework. Drones were deployed over surrounding fields during the weekend, but no sighting was picked up.
Roxy, a Golden Retriever, went missing from Clea Road in Keady on Saturday, October 31. She is also nervous and may run if approached. Roxy was wearing a red collar when she ran off.
Izzy went missing from Longstone Armagh on Saturday, October 31. The appeal describes her as another victim of fireworks, saying she ran scared from her home that evening.
How Armagh residents can help
People in the affected areas are being urged to keep their eyes open and check gardens, fields, sheds and outbuildings. Residents should also review CCTV and Ring doorbell recordings for any signs of the dogs.
Anyone with information or a sighting is asked to contact Lost Paws NI, which will help locate the owners. The appeal warns that sightings should be reported rather than pursued, as attempting to chase the dogs could cause them to run further.
