Lost Dog: Please Help Find Zoey

We have another neighbor that needs our help! Suzy Robinson and her family are missing their beloved dog Zoey. She got loose during the storms on Sunday and is very skittish so she is probably very scared! Zoey was last seen in the Utopia subdivision of Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida. She is a white and brown Rat Terrier that weighs about 15 lbs and is 7 yrs old. She has a locator chip that can be scanned at a vet’s office. We need your help to reunite Zoey with her family! If you or anyone you know has seen Zoey, please contact Suzy at (305) 588-3322 or by email.

Please Help Find Hazel (our Tortoise)

My daughter’s tortoise, Hazel, escaped from our back yard yesterday and I’d like to ask our neighbors to keep a look out for her as I assume she can’t have gone very far yet.

We have watched Hazel grow from 1″ in diameter to over 6 inches in 3 years and my daughter Ella is very fond of her. She is a docile, sweet animal. If anyone finds her, I would greatly appreciate them returning her to us or calling me to inform me of her location. We are offering a $50 reward.

Thank you,
Melinda Gonzalez
3835 Park Ave

Send a note on our contact page and we will forward to the Gonzalez family.

Crime Watch Update

Dear members,

This week we had an attempted break-in in our neighborhood. Our Utopia security was alerted and responded immediately. The perpetrators broke a window and attempted to enter through the rear door but were not successful. Our officer canvassed the neighborhood and several neighbors heard a noise but failed to report it. Fortunately, one of the neighbors did call 911, reported the incident, and our security heard the call on his radio. Lessons learned – be vigilant and report any out of ordinary activity. The security of Utopia is a community effort, and we should not be complacent because we have a patrol. Your engagement with our patrol is what makes it a safer place.

One of our neighboring communities in the South Grove called a meeting with Mayor Regalado and Commander Gentry, to discuss a spike in crime in their neighborhood. The six block radius that encompasses Loquat, Avocado, Palmetto, Royal Palm, Marler, Franklin and Charles Avenues bordered by Douglas Road and Hibiscus Street has been particularly hard hit. Over the last two months home and vehicular break-ins, invasions, gunpoint assaults, vandalism, thefts, constant discharge of explosives, among other recorded felonies and misdemeanors have been reported. This neighborhood is outside of the Utopia boundaries but is close enough. Let’s keep our guard up and keep the criminals out of Utopia.

Please share this news with your neighbors and encourage them to join the Utopia Homeowners Association in order to expand our patrol hours. Even two or three new members will make a difference! To join, have them contact [email protected].

Be safe,

Peter Zubizarreta
