Message from Owner

My little guy I haven seen and is killing me he hasn't had the best life prior to me getting him from my next door neighbors. He went everywhere with me walked everywhere with me. Loves to cuddle under the blankets next to me an had to touch me or would go crazy. He loves running just to run. Is very timid but when needed he does open up to others. I live round 91st an tejon but recently him got condemned and I'm hoping he will go to the place he know best OUr hse. If u see him or know anything please cal or text me at I'd greatly appreciate any n all the help I can get to bring him home I'm going crazy with him gone , emotions everywhere cuz I feel like I failed him n since I can't find him it not making it easier. I hope he is safe he isn't chipped unfortunately Anything info please let me know

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.

Put a scent station (dirty Tshirt, socks, pillow case with owner smell) at the spot where dog went missing, to help dog smell it way back to where it went missing. You will need to keep monitoring spot every couple hours to see if dog returns to spot. Put sign with picture on front yard incase someone finds dog in neighborhood and drives or walks around looking for dogs home. Also, please check ALL local shelters and rescues everyother day to see if pet has been brought in GOOD LUCK
