FL Owner Offers $10K Reward For Puppy's Safe Return Home

VERO BEACH, FL — A Florida woman is desperately seeking the safe return of her puppy.

In fact, the dog's owner, Melanie Stavert, is offering a $10,000 reward in hopes it'll lead to information about the pooch's whereabouts.

"She is very friendly and loves kids. We live near the high school. We hope to have her home," Stavert posted to Facebook.

Kayce, a 6-month-old female Saint Bernard, is hard to miss. She is big for her breed, weighing about 80 pounds, according to Stavert. She's been missing since June 4.

Stavert told WPTV that the day Kayce disappeared, she went under a fence with the family's older dog. The older dog returned; however, Kayce did not.

"We really want her home and don’t want this to die down, if anyone would like to help post flyers please message me I have lots," Stavert said.

According to Stavert, she's had a hard time sleeping at night not knowing if Kayce is safe. Her children also miss her.

"A tip that leads to her being found will remain confidential," she said.

Anyone who finds Kayce or knows of her whereabouts is urged to call Stavert at 863-978-7644.
