Missing dog and kitten, hope it’s not too late (Northside)

My two sweet babies went missing from the Lem Turner Home Depot/Wendy’s area last year around June-August 2025, possibly September. Unfortunately some time has passed since then, but I still think about them every day, and I just hope and pray they are out there safe somewhere. My dog, Midna (pictured) was a black and white lab/pitbull mix. She was over a year and a half old when she went missing, however, she didn’t go missing. I was homeless at the time, sleeping in the woods by the Home Depot/Wendys off Lem Turner and Armsdale when I woke up one day and she was gone. Spent all day screaming her name looking for her and some old dude named Gary pulled up at the Home Depot and said he has my dog. He brought her back to let me see her and gave me 100$ to keep her. He gave me his contact info. I contacted him in January to see how she was doing and he said she dug a hole in the fence and ran away. I’m not sure if he was lying, either way I’m still in distraught over this. If she ran away she may be anywhere between Armsdale, Lem Turner, and possibly Dunn Ave. She likes the woods so she may not be in the open streets. My cat, Michaelo was an orange kitten, green eyes, about 9 or 10 months old when we went missing and is skittish. I do not have any pictures of him sadly. He went missing from the Home Depot parking lot maybe about 2 or 3 months after Midna was taken. I asked the lady at dollar tree and she said she saw a woman and her daughter playing with him. They may have taken him home, off US1. He had a blue collar. I had them both microchipped at the ASPCA last year but they couldn’t help me. I did never got the chance to register them and I don’t have access to the phone number I used. I’m not sure how much I can be helped here but I’m still so sad about them
