Traveling Family Searching for Lost Dog Near Fort Massac State Park


A Tennessee family is desperately searching for their beloved dog after a quick travel stop in Massac County took a heartbreaking turn.

Alexis Womack of Gallatin, Tennessee, is asking for the community’s help to bring her dog, Garrett, home safely. Garrett ran off during a routine potty break on a family road trip and has been missing since Saturday, May 30, 2026.

Last Seen Near Fort Massac State Park

Garrett was last seen near Fort Massac State Park off Highway 45, just outside of Metropolis.

Because he vanished near a major highway and a popular park area, he could still be nearby, or he may have wandered into the surrounding neighborhoods or wooded areas. Local residents, campers, and travelers in the area are urged to keep a close eye out for him.

How You Can Help

Alexis and her family are deeply concerned and are asking everyone to keep their eyes open and spread the word.
