Lidia Najera is there a reason you're not responding to any of the other comments on here? Owners that respond get more help from the rescue community. It's very important.

🚨Just FYI: If the owner doesn't respond in the comments then rescue volunteers might think the owner is no longer looking. Very important to respond. If you're still looking for your pet make sure you have them posted on these places. 1. Neighbors by ring and next door. These are the most important and should be first. 2. Petco love lost has a facial algorithm search 3. Pawboost at least once a week not more than that 4. Be sure to search paw boost under found dogs as well don't just post your dog. 5. The Lost Pet groups on Facebook do not promote dogs at Arizona Humane Society so you have to go to Arizona Humane Society found pets page on Facebook and check there. Lots of dogs are in doggie gel and owners don't know to search this page. Some also come up on PB but not all. Check that Facebook page. 6. Try 24 pet connect and petfinder.com. do a search as though you're looking to adopt a pet like yours see if it comes up in the inventory anywhere. Easiest way to check multiple rescues and shelters inventory for your dog. 7. As a last resort make sure you are checking MCAC urgent and adoptable page especially if you have a pitbull. This is where dogs on the euthanasia list are posted as a last resort before it's too late. Also the dog savers. If your dog is a puppy, tiny and cute or a pure breed you absolutely need a reward. If your dog has been missing 3 days and there has been zero sightings of it you absolutely need to put a reward. People find and keep dogs like this and you need to inspire some people to do the right thing. If you wait even 4 to 5 days chance of return goes down exponentially. Put it in the first line of your post not down in the paragraph. But the amount because nobody pays attention to the word only. #1 Biggest mistake most owners make is: not putting the major intersection and City in the beginning of their post so people know if they are in the search area. 2nd biggest mistake owners make is: they don't comment on their posts. You have to just stir the pot and get more people looking at your post. 3rd biggest mistake owners make: they use a terrible picture of their dog. You have two seconds to get people to look at your post when they scroll by. Crop everything else out of the photo except for your pet. That means no walls, no carpet, no grass, no people, no other pets. You want your pet as big as possible so people can clearly see it when they scroll by. It's also a good idea to put your pet on lost pets of Phoenix it's for the whole valley. Also be sure to put the key words Lost/found color/ breed City / state on everything so it comes up in key word searches.
