🚨 LOST DOG – WHAT TO DO IMMEDIATELY TO HELP BRING YOUR DOG HOME 🚨
If your dog is missing, follow these critical steps right away:
🏠 Bring Them Home with Scent and Access
• Hang dirty laundry (T-shirts, socks, shoes) high on a fence or branch to allow the wind to carry the scent—use items worn by the person your dog is most bonded with.
• Dogs can smell home from miles away—your scent can guide them back.
• Leave an access point open such as a cracked garage or front door in case they return.
• Sleep near the front door if possible—your presence may help them feel safe enough to come back.
• If you have other pets, keep them secured in a separate room.
📣 Post Signs & Notify Everyone
• Make signs with a clear photo and your contact info.
• Put signs everywhere—on poles, street corners, and especially on doorsteps in the neighborhood.
• Ask neighbors to check security cameras (e.g., Ring) for sightings.
🌐 Spread the Word Online
• Post on local:
• Lost & Found Facebook groups
• Nextdoor
