FIRST, NEVER, EVER send a msg to Instagram, or send a code to anyone!! ** Now, these tips may help: ** Did he just wander away, or do you think stolen? Make sure to report to animal control/police, as people usually report found dogs to animal control or shelters!! ** Put fliers out in stores, cafes, minimarts and vet clinics in and around your area! Also, check with schools or libraries to see if they have a bulletin board they could put a flier on!! Kids see things that adults don't!! ** Call radio stations in and around your area as they usually have a pet patrol for lost and found pets and this would spread the word to a lot of people!! ** Join your local and surrounding county exchanges for buy sell trade as they have many people on them, too!! ** PawBoost, Craigslist and NextDoor are good, plus, check the found and for sale columns in those groups!! ** Also, name the general area these streets are - north, east, etc. because people may not know where these streets are!! ** Check with neighbors to see if he got shut in a shed or garage, by accident or if he was seen on a camera!! ** Check shelters IN PERSON - DO NOT JUST CALL!! Often they have so many dogs they don't know who they have! I read where new dogs were kept in a different room, and not necessarily out for viewing, so ask if they have new dogs in a different area! ** NEVER give up!! Keep searching and joining many groups to share, and "bump" your posts in the groups you have already shared to! Plus, keep in mind, many groups only allow one or two bumps a wk., to keep it fair to everyone that needs to post! Do not keep making new posts, because that gets very confusing to people!
