Let’s Reunite Deuce with his Family!

Picture of DeuceDeuce is a dearly beloved brindle-colored English Bulldog missing now for a month. He was last seen in his yard on NW 101st near the QFC. He is about 58 pounds, and has very distinctive markings on his face. He is friendly. We’re hoping for a happy reunion with his family. This is the most recent post on the Bring Deuce Home Facebook page: www.facebook.com/deucepodhola

We need help. We are going to be putting up more posters, everywhere! 
How you can help: 

  • Put a sign in your YARD! Especially if your yard is easily visible to traffic. We will make sturdy signs for those that can and deliver!
  • If you work for a business that will allow a poster in the window, we will bring a nice laminated poster to hang and flyers for people to grab.
  • Tag your car!
  • Help hang signs in shoreline, west Seattle, south Seattle, university dist, capital hill, greenlake, Ravenna, Northgate. Basically, if you’re on an area in or immediately around Seattle with no missing Deuce posters we need your help. 
  • My goal us to let everyone and their far away cousins know Deuce is still missing and we are still looking for him.
  • I will be working in new posters and yard signs today, if you can help send me a message or text (206-351-5304), no comments please, they can get lost in the shuffle.
  • Also, if you have time to assist going door to door in crown hill/Ballard/greenwood/phinney, let me know – I can get you mini flyers.

Let’s do this, I want my dog back and I need your help.
