PLEASE HELP FIND WENDEL — Missing black Cockapoo near Baseline & Rural since 10/22
EDIT: $1,000 REWARD FOR HIS SAFE RETURN
Hi everyone, I'm hoping the Tempe community can help us find a missing dog named Wendel. ❤️
Wendel is a 35 lb black Cockapoo who went missing around 9:15 PM on Thursday, October 22, near Baseline and Rural. He ran north from the area after getting frightened.
He may still have a leash attached, but his collar had been removed before the walk, so he may be running around with no collar or ID visible.
His family is desperately trying to bring him home safely. They've been searching the area and checking for sightings.
If you live near Lakeshore Drive, Baseline & Rural, or surrounding neighborhoods, please:
Keep an eye out for a medium-sized, curly-haired black dog.
Check your security cameras or doorbell footage from Thursday night onward.
Check yards, side areas, and other places a frightened dog might hide.
Please share any sightings, even if you're not 100% sure it's him.
IMPORTANT: Wendel is frightened. Please do not chase, call out to him excitedly, or try to catch him. If you spot him, keep a safe distance, note his exact location and direction of travel, and contact his family immediately.

I've attached his missing-dog flyer. Any sighting, camera footage, or share could make a huge difference in getting Wendel home. Thank you so much. ❤️
