Dog Missing From Joppa Area

A pit bull has been missing from the Joppa area since Thursday night, and her family is hoping for safe and swift return

Lizzy, a 2-year-old pit bull, went missing around 8:30 p.m. from the Joppa area off U.S. Route 7, her owner, Meg Willow, wrote in a Facebook message to Patch.

The pit bull is described as friendly, lovable and good with children, although a little intimidated by strangers at first. She responds well to her name and will eventually come up to an unknown person for love and attention, Willow wrote.

"She is one of our children," Willow wrote.

Lizzy's family misses her desperately and is hoping someone in the community may have spotted her.

If you have seen Lizzy or may know where she is, you can contact Meg Willow at 301-760-0854.
