Searching for Havanna in Glensfork area of Adair 2023-06-26 - Adair County, KY - Photo from family collection. Amber Niko Hobaugh asks for sharing in hopes of finding this pet. She writes, "We are still searching for Havanna. My Mom is not giving up hope that she may still be in the area. She went missing around Old Glensfork Road so if you're on Yellowhammer Road/768 East and West/Hardscratch area please be on the lookout for her. She squawks very loud and may call out "Mom" or Loki. She escaped and we had eyes on her until the morning of 6/12/23 and we haven't seen her since. If you see her, find any large feathers matching her color or hear something that sounds like a strange bird. Please reach out to me or my sister Loupie Lou (message on Facebook). We do realize she may not have survived this ordeal but it would be helpful just to have closure at this point. Thank you all for sharing and everyone who's asked about her. It is appreciated more than you know!" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
