A Nicholasville resident lost three of her beloved Australian Shepherds. Two of them were missing for almost a week. The surrounding community, however, ensured this woman wouldn’t go through the search for her furry family members alone.
After her three dogs, Bo, Piper, and Hella, got out of her fenced-in yard on Tuesday, January 23, Lorrie Deering spent all her time at her job or searching and getting the word out through friends, family, and Facebook. She visited everywhere she could where she may find her dogs, including the Jessamine County Animal Shelter and the Lexington-Fayette Animal Shelter. She also posted on every lost and found page she could find.
Deering said hundreds and hundreds of people got involved to help her find her beloved dogs. “I’ve gone everywhere, I posted everywhere. I had people sending me messages. I even had friends in Florida and Nashville posting pictures of my dogs on their own Facebook pages because they knew someone who lived in or near Jessamine County.” Deering said.
