. This is why I never let my pets go outside unattended. To prevent things like this from happening. Especially when there’s fire works going on for hours everywhere. Why would you let your dog even go outside without being on a leash Please List on PawBoost, Nextdoor, neighbors, lost my doggie, post neon signs, report missing to local shelters, post flyers all around your area including vet offices, post office, stores ect. also check your cameras and ask your neighbors to check their cameras too. If your pet was Micro chipped contact them to make sure all your information is updated...check all shelters daily in person. Walk your neighborhood day and night calling your dog asking neighbors especially people walking dogs to be on the lookout . Your dog might be with a neighbor or hiding in their yard...When you find your pet please never leave outside unattended, between coyotes, bad people, or someone leaving the gate open... it's not Safe. Also chip, gps collar, license, printed tags, printed information on collar, and AirTag. If your pet is not Fixed, do that right away...it is the responsible thing to do and will keep them from wanting to roam. All of these things will help keep your dog safe! I hope you find your beloved pet.

Check shelters and vet offices online and in person or call. Give them a flyer too. If microchipped let the company know and make sure your contact number is correct.

Post flyers for those people not on Facebook who may have taken them in and are hoping to see flyers.

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.

Check the surrounding shelters every day, not just the one in your city. Someone may have picked the dog up and not live near you, then dropped the dog at a shelter near them. It’s easy to do, go on their websites and scan the pictures. Also, go in person sometimes they hold dogs in the back that are not in the pictures. And also put posters up, because not everyone is on social media.
