Message from Owner

REWARD Banjo was taken without permission with the intent to re- or abandon by a mentally unstable person. Last seen with a very talented street musician named "Rhodes" or Ryan. Real name Dave Potts. Banjo is in extreme danger and may be being hidden from plain sight.I have proof of ownership and multiple accounts of people witnessing abuse of banjo. Please help me bring my baby to me where he is painfully missed. I am falling apart at the seams without him. He is the glue that has kept me together while I have made multiple attempts to break away from an abusive relationship.The day before banjo and I were to leave, he was taken.He is my world and my heart and is cherished by many along the coast of California. Please.....I am only one person on a very slow phone and there is so much area to cover. Please help me bring banjo where he is safe and adored. Peace and white light♥️🐾🐾

Gabrielle Jackson I shared the post on my page. I hope you find him soon. I recently had my black and white Border Collie at the river, but he's short haired. You can see pictures of him on my page.

Michel Campbell Ohhhhhh man.🥺😢😫Thank you for showing my banjo love. He's probably really depressed and confused. If you know anyone in garberville please share if you could. I know that when I went down there looking for him some of the homeless people said that a guy went through there trying to pawn off a border collie saying that the dog's mom went to jail. Roads has spent most of his life lying to people so it's not out of pocket for him to come up with a very far-fetched story.He may have acted like he liked banjo in front of people but the fact is he really hated banjo and was abusive to both of us when he thought no one was looking. And there are multiple people that can attest to the abuse. That's precisely why banjo and I were leaving the next day but I had to go to court, and I left him with a friend of mine and Roads. Roads was only supposed to be taking him to go to the bathroom when he left town. I tried really hard not to tarnish his name on here because I would never wish any ill will on anyone. I really just wanted peace with my dog. But he took my baby and my being silent about the abuse won't bring him home. The only victim here I believe is Banjo. And it's taking everything I have to keep it together without falling apart. I only hope that Rhodes is not fabricating and extraordinary story making people believe that I was the one that was abusive, but after knowing the man for 7 years I'm positive that's what he's doing. It's just a really extraordinarily sad situation. Hurting me is one thing I can survive that and I can get over that. But banjo......that's where I draw the line. There was also a sighting of a black and white dog near eel River I don't know if you know anything about that. The person said it matched the description of banjo. I'm not even sure where that's at.

Gabrielle Jackson She mentioned about drinking heavily the night before and had been parked at the gas station for hours. If they come back by, I will reach out to you asap. She definitely seemed like she had some issues.

Yes thank you Michel. I have spoken with the woman who gave them a ride. She is even more mentally unstable unfortunately, so it's difficult to get a clear timeline. But I believe they were seen in Laytonville after they were in legget. I believe..........?

This dog and the guy that plays guitar were in front of the Leggett market about 3-4 weeks ago. He left heading towards the Peg House. I provided the dog food and water, because I was concerned for it. I asked him what his dog's name was, and he said Banjo. About a half hour later, a lady came walking in looking for the guy. She claimed that they ran out of gas and had gotten into a fight when he left. She came back several times and the last time she was in a van. I want to say it was green. You can DM me, if you'd like.
