Thanks so much for helping the dog(s). Use the information that fits your situation. You can greatly increase the chances of finding the owner by creating a FOUND dog post and viewing LOST dogs on the sites below. Please be sure to have a picture of the found dog(s) at the top of your post. A frantic owner will easily pass right by a post without a picture to catch their eye as they scroll through the many posts. You can always verify ownership with family photos, their vet, etc. Since dogs are considered a person's property, state law requires someone that finds a dog to take the necessary steps to locate the owner, post on multiple lost & found sites as a FOUND DOG, put up signs, scan for a microchip, notify animal control/shelter, etc. Since the finder/owner has no clue where you've posted, put up as many lost and found posts as possible. Remember a dog can travel many miles a day, so it's important to check areas further away from where found. Follow posts with similar dogs/cats. You may end up finding the owner/finder that way. Keep your post active and seen by others by responding and updating everyone with what's happening. Make sure your notifications are turned on since many will simply leave information on your post and not message you. Facebook Nextdoor.com Pawboost.com (they have a free post) Lostmydoggie.com Humane Society LostDogsofTexas.org - their volunteers help you w/responses! Petcolove.org/lost/ View these same sites for the owner's lost dog post. *****Inform shelters (ACS if in/near San Antonio) that you have the dog since the owner will likely call there first. They may even have the owner's information already. Put up signs in plastic sheet protectors (opening at the bottom) Check for a microchip at a Vet's office or Petsmart for free. If the chip isn't registered, find out who inserted the chip and they will likely have the name of the person that owns the dog. Even if not chipped, there is likely a family searching for their baby. Before rehoming someone's lost baby, please give the owner the benefit of the doubt and time to locate your posts since they can be difficult to find. Keep in mind that stolen dogs, found dogs, etc. can end up getting dumped, too. Verify ownership. Some will try to claim ownership or offer to watch the dog. Please either hold on to the dog and post or take to a no shelter. If someone offers to foster, make sure the rescue they are using actually takes the dog first. Add date found and zip code/cross streets up in the post since most will not see it in comments. You can become a foster through a rescue. They will cover food and medical needs until the owner is found. If the owner is not located, they will find a family to adopt the dog. If you end up taking the dog to a rescue/shelter, please keep your post active w the place you took them listed up at the top.

Someone may be missing this dog. Please require proof of ownership, Vet bills etc, so the dog does not get used as a Bait Dog.
