Hire a professional dog tracker to find your dog if he’s newly adopted or rescued, he will not find your home. Please help this dog.

This pup was lost LAST YEAR in June. I have an original post from the owner, just putting that out there because it is important info and was not included in this for some reason. But if youve found a dog from that time frame, his home is looking for him still!!

Make flyers with picture saying LOST DOG. Put up 1-4 miles from where last seen. Not everyone has social media

This also works for in/out kitties- Since he/she's an indoor kitty, he/she's likely very nearby, within a 7 house radius, hiding in fear. One of the most effective tips I see posted is- Take treats and a flashlight out when it's dawn/dusk/ night. Walk slowly, shine light under bushes and other areas, like decks and crawl spaces, and up into trees. Pause, shake treats, calmly call his/her name. Listen for rustling sounds or replies. Take a few more steps, repeat. OnlY do this within your own yard, so you don't accidentally encourage your cat to leave the immediate area. Many cats will not reply even to owners when lost. Important to keep ur voice calm and gentle, even though ur stressed and panicked. Post on NextDoor. Notify mail carrier that ur looking for him/her. Notify neighbors so they know he/she's not a stray if they see him/her. Look at neighbors doorbell cams for sightings. ****Indoor cats will often try to get back inside, but can't find a way in.**** If safe, leave a door or window cracked, with smelly cat food and/or your worn clothing nearby. If not safe to leave door open, make sure u still leave water out for him/her. Food, too, if u can keep an eye on it to make sure dominant strays don't get to it and consequently keep him/her away. Have a safe, warm box shelter box nearby.Lost dogs often gravitate toward water. Check all surrounding streams, ponds, lakes, and swimming pools. Older dogs also gravitate downhill, since it's easier. Post on NextDoor. Post on surrounding area lost pet sites. Post flyers in your area and a large radius beyond that. Notify shelter and surrounding vets of your search. Notify mail carrier that you're searching for him/her, as they cover large areas. Check neighbors' doorbell cams for sightings. Hope pup's home soon! If not consider contacting a verified pet tracker. You can find them by searching for K9 or SAR groups.

The effectiveness of signs posted quickly all around the area can not be overstated. Reaches those not on social media and lets neighbors know he/she's not a stray.

Johanna Rutter About 40 miles but I guess you never know. Praying someone finds him and calls the number on his collar. I’m devastated.
