Case Details
Date Missing
November 1, 2026
Last Known Location
Mooreland Road off State Route 339, Belpre, Ohio
Area Type
Mixed Residential and Wooded
Gender / Age
Male, 8 Years Old
Collar
Royal Blue Collar, No Tags, Not Microchipped
Identifying Marks
Small dog, about 18 lbs. Soft, curly cream coat with a fluffy tail that curls over his back. Dark eyes and a black nose. He missed a recent grooming appointment, so his coat is likely longer and shaggier now than in his photos. He carries no tags and no microchip, so a shelter or vet scan will not identify him.
Behavior & Temperament
Teddy went missing around 9:00 AM on Sunday, November 1, 2026, from his home on Mooreland Road, a dead end road off State Route 339 in Belpre, Ohio. He went outside the way he does every day and did not come back.
His family describes him as very friendly. He loves people and attention and would normally walk right up to a stranger. That matters more than anything else in this case. A small, sweet, approachable dog is exactly the kind of dog a kind person picks up off the road and brings home, often believing he was abandoned, especially when he has no tags.
A thermal drone search on November 2 covered a wide area around his home in excellent conditions, clear enough to pick out animals as small as squirrels. Teddy was not found anywhere within walking distance of where he went missing. That makes it much more likely that someone picked him up or took him in, and that he is now somewhere else entirely, possibly outside Belpre.
What helps: if a small cream colored dog has turned up at your home, a neighbor's, a relative's, or a coworker's since November 1, please call, even if the dog seems settled and happy. If you drive State Route 339 or the Belpre area regularly, think back to whether you saw a small white or cream dog on or near the road that Sunday. If you are a groomer, delivery driver, school bus driver, or mail carrier, please keep an eye out for a small, overgrown cream colored dog. If a dog matching Teddy comes in for a haircut or turns up on your route, please call. And if you see him loose, do not chase him. Note where you are and which way he was headed, and call.

A possible sighting reported through social media was checked out by the family. It was confirmed to be a different dog, a larger doodle that had been loose in the area. Please keep the reports coming. Every lead is checked, and it is always better to call than to assume.

A possible sighting near a cemetery in the area was followed up in person. Teddy was not found, but residents living in the direction the dog was headed were contacted, and one landowner with cameras covering much of that ground is actively watching for him. The family also delivered flyers to neighbors, Belpre veterinary clinics, and businesses along State Route 339.

Thermal drone search completed over a wide area surrounding his home in excellent thermal conditions. Teddy was not located within walking distance of his last known location. Given his friendly nature, the case focus shifted to the possibility that he was picked up or taken in by a resident or passerby. Shelters and veterinary clinics are being asked to check any small cream colored dog.
