Tequilas been missing all night long.
We’ve been out searching the hill behind our house all night and all day today, if anyone sees her or has her please let us know!!
I added a picture of the hillside behind our house, she has to be somewhere on it, she can run pretty far or we’re thinking she made it to a road and someone picked her up, thank you ahead of time for the help!!
