10/18/21 It is with heavy hearts we share that Shipley, missing from West Roxbury since 8/11, has been found and unfortunately did not make it. Shipley traveled great distances and covered many towns surrounding the Boston area. While this is not the outcome anybody would ever wish, Shipley will finally be brought home to his amazing mom who can at least have closure.
There are no words that we can say to express how grateful we are for every single person’s support of Shipley. Missing Dogs Massachusetts would like to thank our volunteers Casey W, Cindy K, Carey K, Kelly M, Deb N, Danielle M, and Beth C for their relentless efforts in Shipley’s recovery, PAWS New England volunteers Suzy S and Chuck HJ for their continued help & support, Katrina who without, Shipley's mom wouldn’t have this closure, Bethany (Dedham ACO) and every other ACO who provided us with the resources we needed, Dedham ARL, the staff at Harvard Yard, and each and every person who called in sightings, hung flyers, allowed feeding stations and traps on their property, and prayed concern for this little boy who evaded every single attempt at a safe recovery. There are so many people we may have missed, but please know, you have been a huge help. We had over 80 sightings of Shipley, with him traveling hundreds of miles, but never fully stopping. Our team responded to every single sighting with feeding stations, constantly put new plans in place as needed, but he never stopped traveling which makes it hard for recovery.
Shipley has left a huge impact on everyone’s hearts and will be forever remembered. If you live in the area and see any flyers, the family would greatly appreciate any help in removing them.
09-25-21 Shipley has not been seen recently and his family is still hoping someone may spot him. If you live in Cambridge, Watertown, Belmont, Waltham and surrounding towns please keep an eye open.
9-15-21 UPDATE: STILL MISSING!
Shipley is still missing from West Roxbury and has traveled as far down as Walpole, to most recently the Cambridge area. Asking residents in the Cambridge area could please check security cameras over the last few days. Due to his fast travel, please also be on lookout in surrounding towns as well as still in the Walpole, Norwood, Westwood, Dedham, Needham, West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, and surrounding areas, and call his owner immediately with day, time, direction of travel. If you have seen him over the last few days, please also report it.
Shipley is NO longer wearing his blue collar. He may be mistaken for a dark, small coyote, so please if possible take a photo to help us confirm. He has short fur, and is darker brown with lighter brown accents. He may be hiding in sheds, under bushes, decks, etc. If seen, please do not call out or chase him. He is extremely skittish.
