For whomever found the pup: If you have not already, please get this pup to a vet and scanned for a chip; also check the Pawboost LOST listings. If no success there, please post flyers in the area where the pup was found, and consider knocking on doors. Not everyone is on social media. Also consider posting to Nextdoor. Please do not accept offers from individuals who offer to adopt or take a dog to a rescue without personally knowing them. If you cannot locate the dog’s family, please be sure to get the dog to a legitimate animal care facility who will properly care for the dog and either find the dog’s people or find the dog a new home. Please don’t try to place the dog on your own. Sadly, there are many folks out there with less than altruistic motives who will offer to ‘help.’ And please, verify that the person claiming the dog as a member of their family can prove that claim. Thank you for caring for the pup meanwhile.

Post on Nextdoor as well, and check frequently for updates on both websites. Not everyone checks social media, post flyers in the area. Include veterinary offices and pet stores when you post the flyers. Ask for proof when someone contacts you to claim the pup, and pay very close attention to the pup's reaction to the person. Good luck 💓

Shared. Please get the pup scanned for a microchip before you surrender to the shelter! The shelter can be a very stressful place, and their resources are very limited this time of year. Puppy and kitten season are in full gear, so pets brought in are given a very short stay before being put to sleep. Please consider this before you proceed with your plan. The scan can be done at no cost by any veterinary in the area, and some pet stores can scan as well.
