We've lost 2 dogs from our home on November 13, 2008. One is Jazz, a brown and white beagle mix weighing about 35 lbs with half of her right ear missing and Jed is a male black and white hound mix weighing about 70 lbs. Both are fixed and very friendly although Jazz may be a bit skittish. They disappeared together so we think they may be traveling together. If you have seen them or have any information, please call 865.300.5074. Thank you.
