Volunteers who are looking for her are planning another sign/flyer blitz in the Hellertown area this Sunday. Anyone who wants to help should meet at Water Street Park at 10am.
Although an aerial search of the Saucon Valley last weekend did not produce any sightings of Ruby--a greyhound who's been missing in the area for more than two months--the determination of her family and volunteers to find her hasn't waivered. According to the frequently updated Facebook page "Ruby the Lost Greyhound," the next tactic planned is a costly canine search to be led by a "Lost Pet Professional." Donations to help fund that search are now being accepted by the nonprofit Brave Tide Foundation, which also helped Ruby's owners--the Hoffman family of Allentown--with the resources that were needed for the Jan. 19 aerial search. According to its website, the Boyertown-based foundation "is a non-profit charitable organization committed…

An aerial search for "Ruby the Lost Greyhound" is planned for Saturday. Ruby went missing more than two months ago. Volunteers are being asked to meet at Hellertown's Water Street Park to assist with the search.
The aerial search for "Ruby the Lost Greyhound" that's twice been postponed is now rescheduled for Saturday morning, and it looks like the weather will finally cooperate. The forecast for Saturday calls for partly cloudy skies above Hellertown, with high temperatures in the low 40s expected. Ruby, a 10-year-old white greyhound from Allentown, has been missing for more than two months. The most recent sightings of her have been in the Saucon Valley area, which is why the aerial quadrant search by volunteers from the Brave Tide Foundation is planned for that area. Volunteers are needed to help with the search on the ground. Anyone who's interested in participating is asked to meet at Hellertown's Water Street Park at 9:30am. A printable map …
