Echo is not just our dog.

She is our family. She is our baby.

On March 27th, around 1PM, we were involved in a major crash on I-70 near Exit 276A (Steele St & 45th) in Denver.

In the chaos and fear after the airbags deployed, Echo was terrified… and she bolted from the vehicle.

We have since received credible reports that two men were seen chasing her from I-70 toward I-25, (exit 276) and it is believed she may have been picked up near the Globeville area.

Since that moment, our world has completely stopped.

We have been searching nonstop — putting up hundreds of flyers, contacting shelters and vet clinics, filing reports, reaching out to the news, and doing everything we possibly can to bring her home.

But Echo’s story didn’t start here.

Echo was born on 10/30/2024.

Just weeks later, on 11/19, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer.

I almost didn’t bring her home because I didn’t know if I would be able to handle everything.

But something in me knew… God brought her into my life for a reason.

My little wild heathen, sock-stealing, skin-nipping, goofy “maligator.”

She has been by my side since she was just 7 weeks old.. and since then, every missing sock and article of clothing was found in her bed.

She has been with me through:

• A bilateral mastectomy

• Five additional surgeries

• Heartbreak

• The loss of my great grandmother, my daughter’s great great grandmother… the woman who raised me, and loved my daughter above all.

She has been our comfort, our strength, our reason to keep going on some of my hardest days.

She’s been there for every road trip, every hike, every moment in between.

She is not just a pet Echo is a piece of our life, our healing, and our heart.

And the last trip we took together… cannot be the last.

We believe someone may have her.

If you do.. please hear this:

We are not angry. We are not asking questions.

There is a reward. No questions asked.

We just want our baby home.

This GoFundMe is not something we ever imagined creating.

We are not “asking” for anything. But for those who feel called to help, the funds will go directly toward bringing Echo home safely and giving her the care she needs.

Funds may be used for:

Search & Recovery Efforts

• K9 tracking / scent tracking teams

• Thermal drone search services (especially at night)

• Lost pet recovery specialists

• Humane trapping services (if needed)

Community Outreach & Awareness

• Targeted social media ads in surrounding areas

• Neighborhood mailers and flyer distribution

• COMMUNITY REWARD AMPLIFICATION to increase visibility and urgency

Medical Care Upon Return

• Emergency veterinary exam

• X-rays and full injury screening

• Treatment and recovery care

Echo was clipped in the back end by a truck during the crash when she ran, and we want to ensure she receives immediate and thorough medical attention when she is back home.

Every share, every dollar, every person looking, it all matters.

Please help us bring Echo home.

Whether its funds to help with her search and rescue, walking the neighborhoods close-by calling her name, going door to door, spreading the word and handing out flyers, etc.

Everything helps.
