This is my furbaby son Ninja. He was a stray when we got him n April of 2025. he had been clearly mistreated and i believe kept locked oon a chain outside. When we first got him he was so timid and scared to do anything. He never made a noise but when i loooked in his eyes i started crying and knew right then this was my doggy. I brought him into our room made him some food and when he was done he just stood there not knowig what to do. I told him to come ay down with me and at first he didnt move but then he slowly made his way between me and his dad and laid down and fell right to sleep. From that monent on he was my protector, my best friend, my heater in the winter, my therapist my everything. I was not doing very good at the time nmetally and emotionally and whad atte oted to tak emy life 2 times due to the severety of the mental illnesses i was dealing with and how negatively they wee effecting ny life and everything in it. When he came into my life he saved my life. I made such qhuge turn around and almost over night was ablet o do things i hadnt been able to do in years just because i had him and i knew no matter what as long as he was iwth me i was wikd safe and i would have the love i lacked. I swore to him i would never abanoned him or let anyone hurt him. ANd i spiled him and loved watchijg him ind his self. UNfortunately things have been bad lately and abot 3 weeks ago we lost our place to llive and i lost everything i owned pretty much. Me and his dad also split up at this time and i had no where to go so me and ninja were slee outside in a tent. I ended up getting arested for tresspassing getting a package i had delivered. Thankfully the cop let his dad get him but i knew it was not gonna be good if i didnt get out within a day or so. I just got out on the 13th I hadnt spoe to his dad since got arrested because he is also homeless and recently relapsed after almost 4 years clean. When i got home i found out Niinja was gone and had been gone for almost weejk at that point. Originally he told me the dog warden came to his camp and took ninja for not having tags. AFter almost 3 days and talking to and going to every shelter and animal control officer and the dog warden hereelf It became obvious he wasnt taken by them and his dad was lyig. After talking to some of the poeple that stay around where we had been staying and we knew i was told two differnt was that Ninja kept getting loose because hus dad was not staying with him and was leaving his chained up at his tent or by mine where we had lived for hours and hours andwas not being very nice to him. The other one was that he sold him to some poeple one of his new frineds know but of course no one knows who they are hoe to contact them or where they liveother than in Florence ky. I honestly dont know what the truth is all i know is im desperste to get him back. I feel like my heart is missing half of ot and all i can do is worry about where he is if he is hungry or hurt or thinks i lefft him and didnt love him.
