Owner makes emotional appeal for return of missing Milton

A cash reward is being offered as Old Town residents desperately try to find Milton the little Pomeranian

Missing Milton: have you seen the missing Pomeranian?

The “heartbroken” owners of a little Pomeranian dog called Milton are offering a cash reward for information that leads to his safe return.

Milton escaped from his home on Duppas Hill Terrace near the Flyover on Monday, October 5. There was a possible sighting of the little fella near East Croydon Station last night, Thursday October 8.

His missing poster has been widely shared on social media and around the neighbourhood, which includes several very busy main roads. But Milton remains missing.

His owner told Inside Croydon: “Milton escaped through the front door at approximately 4pm while I was meeting a recovery truck outside our home. Since that moment, he seems to have vanished, we have been desperately searching for him and doing everything possible to bring him home.”

Milton is a male Pomeranian with a distinctive beaver-coloured face, cream-white clipped body and fluffy cream tail. He is microchipped.

“He is dearly loved by our family,” said the owner.

At approximately 9pm last night, there was a possible sighting near East Croydon Station.

“We are appealing to anyone who was in the area that evening, or who may have CCTV or dashcam footage, to come forward with information.”

There is a fear that Milton may have been “snatched”.

“We are offering a cash reward for information that leads to Milton’s safe return.

“We are heartbroken and desperately want our little boy home. We hope that your coverage will reach someone who knows where he is and help reunite him with his family.”

Full details of how to contact Milton’s owners with information can be found on their poster:
