⭐ LOST PET — CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR OWNERS When a pet goes missing, especially in Colorado Springs, there are two urgent steps: go to the shelter in person and lock down the microchip. Here’s what people need to know. LOST Pets at the Pound (HSPPR) Please do not rely on the website — HSPPR has a long, documented history of pets being in the building but never appearing online. This is how families lose their animals there. Here’s what actually happens: • Pets on stray hold often never get photographed or uploaded. They sit in the back for days and never appear online. • Scared, stressed, or shut down pets are moved to the back and hidden. HSPPR labels them “behavioral,” and those pets are never posted online. • Pets who fail the behavior test are kept out of public view. Many are simply frightened or overwhelmed. They are not listed, and families have lost pets this way. • Mislabeling is extremely common. Wrong breed, wrong , wrong color — and if your pet is mislabeled, you will never find them by searching the website. • Injured or sick pets are kept in medical and not listed. You won’t see them online, and staff will not tell you over the phone. This is why you MUST go in person. Walk the stray hold kennels. Ask to see the pets in the back. Ask about medical and quarantine. Ask about pets who failed behavior. The website is not complete, and it never has been. Going in person is the only way to make sure your pet isn’t sitting there unlisted. ⭐ If Your Pet Is Microchipped Call your microchip company right now and ask them to put a “lost pet flag” or “alert” on the microchip. This does two things: 1. Locks the chip so no one can transfer ownership. 2. Notifies you immediately if the chip is scanned anywhere. Then ask the microchip company for these four things: 1. Confirm the chip is still registered to you If it’s not, ask them to reverse any unauthorized changes immediately. 2. Add a “lost pet” alert / hold / flag Every microchip company has a version of this. It prevents shelters, vets, rescues, or individuals from transferring ownership while the pet is missing. 3. Add ALL your contact numbers Ask them to add: • your main phone • backup phone • email • emergency contact This increases the chance someone reaches you the moment the pet is scanned. 4. Ask them to notify you immediately if the chip is scanned They can send: • text alerts • email alerts • phone calls This is how owners get reunited fast. ⭐ Extra Tip (Very Helpful) Ask the microchip company if they can send a broadcast alert to local shelters and vet clinics. Some companies do this automatically when a pet is marked as lost. ⭐ Why This Matters When a pet goes missing, the microchip company becomes the first line of defense. If someone finds the pet and tries to: • claim ownership • rehome it • surrender it • adopt it out • transfer the chip …the lost pet flag stops the transfer and forces the shelter/vet/rescue to contact the original owner. This is one of the strongest protections a pet owner has during a missing pet situation. ⭐ COPY AND PASTE MESSAGE TO SEND TO THE MICROCHIP COMPANY “Hello, I need to report my pet as missing and place a lost pet flag on the microchip. Please lock the chip so ownership cannot be transferred. Please confirm the chip is still registered to me, and reverse any unauthorized changes. Add all my contact numbers (phone, backup phone, email, emergency contact). Please notify me immediately if the chip is scanned anywhere. If possible, please send a broadcast alert to local shelters and vet clinics.”

This post includes helpful links to local Lost & Found pages and places to report missing or found pets. Once you post your LOST alert, take a moment to look through the FOUND posts — your pet may already be listed. Keep checking back regularly for updates. Here’s the link to the tips: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3550007315054776&set=pb.100001366267424.-2207520000..&type=3 There's a video link on how to catch a loose and normally scared dog (e.g. calling their name – even by the owner - can send them running the other way if in survival mode, don't chase, etc.). https://youtu.be/cmiZzB643is There’s lots of information about creating a scent trails by WALKING and other ways like putting out your dirty laundry, all so the dog can smell his way home. Dogs can smell up to 11 miles away. In the comments is a diagram of a wagon wheel showing how to lay out a scent trail leading back to your home ……………do this ASAP…………….. 🏃💨 A dog gets lost away from home or that bolts from a car should have scent left at both the escape point and the home. Lost dogs move in loops, not straight lines, and they often return to the last place they smelled their owner and the long‑term scent anchor at home. Leaving unwashed clothing, the dog’s bedding, and water (no food) at both spots gives the dog two safe scent stations to return to instead of wandering farther. Petco Love Lost is a national lost pet system that scans photos from shelters, rescues, and found pet posts all across the USA. It’s the only database that consistently matches pets using facial recognition AI, so even if your dogs were taken out of state, they can still show up in the system. It’s free, fast, and absolutely worth adding your dogs’ photos — many families have been reunited this way. 🔗 Petco Love Lost: https://petcolove.org/lost/

General Information: Set up a scent station. Get a scent that the dog is familiar with out in front of the house (EX Worn clothing / shoes from a family member/owner that the dog lives with.) Hang it out high so that the smell can travel and guide the dog back home. Keep an access point open in case the dog returns. Please post signs with the dogs' picture and your contact information on the sign. Post these signs all over as if someone spots your dog the person can contact you and provide a location of where the dog is. (Not everyone is on Social Media). Ask your neighbors to check their doorbell or house cameras (if applicable), sheds and garage. Owners: Do not try and search for the dog - as your scent travels when you are out and walking all over can confuse the dog. The dog should only smell your scent near your home. Never underestimate the ability of a dog to find their way home using their nose. Call or go to the Animal Shelter in your area and tell them that your dog is missing to see if it has been picked up. Prayers your dog is found safely. Beware of scammers.
