Mary Ann Proctor rushed home from work at a local veterinary hospital Wednesday afternoon when she got a call from her children.
Their home on Bulluck School Road had been burglarized.
On the way home, Proctor got another call from her daughter.
Their four-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, Lola, was missing.
Proctor was devastated. So were her children. Lola has been with the family since she was 7 weeks old.
“She’s like the baby of the family,” Proctor said.
The family and a local nonprofit group called Promoting Animal Welfare in North Carolina is offering a reward for information that leads to Lola’s safe return, no questions asked.
“I just want my dog home,” Proctor said.
She also has a boxer and a cat. They were safe, Proctor said.
Lola, who also is known as “Sweet Baby Lola,” weighs about 2.25 pounds.
Proctor calls Lola her “side kick girl.” Lola greets her after work and sleeps with her at night.
“She’s just a little bubble of joy,” Proctor said. “She makes everybody smile.” Proctor’s three older children first noticed the break-in when they returned home from high school Wednesday afternoon.
They saw their PlayStation was missing. The family is in the process of moving, so at first the kids thought their mom had moved it to their new home, Proctor said.
Proctor said there was no sign of a point of entry. Other items, including fishing rods, video games and her son’s shotgun also were missing.
The family has posted fliers about Lola. Anyone with information is asked to call Riverside Veterinary Hospital at 442-3636.

What you dont know because it
What you dont know because it wasnt printed,is there is a foster child living in the home. Just another part of the dynamics of her family. So mr battle please dont judge. Did I happen to mention that she is a single mother of 3plus the foster child
missing the point
I have had my place broken into and the police did nothing, however I was referring to the part about the dog not the house being broken into. There is more focus on the dog than anything else in the story. If it would have been just about the house being broken into I would never have said anything.
Mr. Battle .............
That's right YOU are missing the point!! That dog could be sold for hundreds of dollars!! People love and care for their pets. The children are missing their dog as well as the owner. Once you open your heart to an animal they become part of your family and household. If you've ever had a pet then I guess you would get it.
As for you saying the police did nothing about your break in. There's not much that can be done but to chalk it up to things gone. I did my own investagation on finding the stolen rocking chairs of my Dad's which were passed down from his parents. So I did something about the theif that stole from my Dad. The guy did get time for stealing from my Dad and is never to step foot on my Dad's property again.
Trivial, Mr. Battle?
I wouldn't say this is trivial Mr. Battle at all. Have you ever had your home broken into? When someone intrudes into your home you get and keep the feeling of being personally violated for quite a long time.
I had my lawn mower stolen right out of my backyard last year. My father's home as been broken into and another time rocking chairs stolen right off his front porch. I searched for his rocking chairs and found them thank goodness. Not many people are that lucky to find their belongings once there stolen.
If someone broke into my home and stole my beloved pet(s) you'd bet I'd go to the newspaper with my story to get help getting my pet back where it belongs.

really
I understand that they may love their dog, but for real people. There are more important things that you could be writing about. I am sure there are sick people around the area that need help in some way, or a child needing a home, someone was saved by the unselfish acts of others, someone did a good deed, A family lost their loved ones. The unemployment rate is going down, schools are becoming safer. Something more important. Please do not waste time writing about something so trivial.
