I’m desperately trying to get more eyes on my missing English Bulldog, Rue. She disappeared from Cozad, Nebraska on July 6, 2026, and we still have no confirmed sightings of her.
$1,500 CASH REWARD for information leading to Rue’s safe return.
Rue was temporarily in my ex’s care when she disappeared. Because of a no-contact order following a domestic incident about a month earlier, Rue was being exchanged through a third party. I had agreed to let my ex have Rue for a week, and Rue disappeared the day before I was supposed to get her back.
I was not notified that Rue was missing until approximately 16 hours after she was reportedly discovered missing.
That delay has been extremely difficult for me to understand, especially because those first hours are so important when an animal goes missing. Friends who were in the area during the following couple of days also told me they did not observe my ex actively searching for Rue.
Since finding out, my family and I have done everything we can think of. We have searched extensively, put up and distributed flyers, shared her across social media, checked possible areas she could have traveled to, and even arranged for a thermal-drone search around Cozad. Despite all of this, there have been no confirmed sightings of Rue.
That is one of the things that concerns me most.
Rue is not the type of dog I would expect to travel a huge distance unnoticed. She is a smaller-built English Bulldog and does not have the extremely broad chest that many Bulldogs have. She has very distinctive markings, is microchipped, gets winded easily, and has medical needs.
At this point, I genuinely do not know what happened.
It is possible somebody found Rue and has no idea how desperately we’re searching for her. It’s also possible someone knows more about what happened than has been shared with us. I have heard many theories, but I am not posting this to accuse anyone of something I cannot prove. I just want my dog home.
Please look at Rue’s photos closely. Even if you are nowhere near Cozad, please share this. If someone picked her up, she could be anywhere by now.
If you have seen an English Bulldog resembling Rue since July 6, know somebody who suddenly acquired a similar Bulldog, saw anything unusual in or around Cozad that morning, or have any information whatsoever, please reach out.
You can also take Rue to any veterinarian or shelter to have her microchip scanned.
$1,500 CASH REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO RUE’S SAFE RETURN.
I don’t care about blame. I don’t care who has information or why it hasn’t been shared yet. I just want Rue safely home.
Please help us bring Rue home. ❤️🐾Facebook Post Searching For Rue
