Vickie Underwood 📌 FOUND AND KEPT DOGS We have a VERY high number of pets found and kept in the valley. Especially in certain areas like Phoenix and Glendale. Probably around 50%-70% of found small dogs are kept, and to be honest it's probably way higher than that. It's weird that it happens most in Phoenix and Glendale. :( People like to call it “rescuing” the dog, but really, it’s theft. See, pets are considered personal property, and under Arizona state law, you have to do an owner search for several days before you can keep someone else’s pet, or rehome it. Those of you that find pets and keep them are breaking someone’s heart, destroying families and ruin lives. I’m not being dramatic. I’ve been on the phone with owners having panic attacks, chest pains, crying for over an hour on the phone with me, severely depressed… Some even have to go to the emergency room… because you thought it was if it’s free - it must be for ME. YOU ARE NOT A GOOD PERSON IF YOU FIND AND KEEP SOMEONES PET WITHOUT DOING AN OWNER SEARCH. What happened to being a good person and doing the right thing? Do better. Flyers without a reward absolutely DO NOT work on finder keepers / thieves. Most of the time a flyer WITH a reward won’t work on them either, but if might work on their neighbors. THAT is why you put a reward. 👎Flyers without reward 👎Posting without reward ✅Reward if offered immediately

THE DIFFERENCE IN A CRISIS LOST PET SEARCH AND A REGULAR LOST PET SEARCH? 📌 Crisis Lost Pet Search: This applies to a large majority of the lost pet cases in the valley. The pet is in danger/in high risk so it's urgent! Normal searching is not enough. 📍 Pet may be taken, stolen, injured, or killed (traffic, coyotes, heat) 📍 Time window is very short 📍 Goal is fast outcome, not slow, relaxed searching 📍 Requires aggressive action right away: Quick mass coverage of the immediate area via both next door and neighbors by ring apps to quickly reach your immediate vicinity Reward (with the amount) 1st Major intersection and City 2nd THEN info on the pet. Posting 3 times a day on those two apps and commenting every 20 to 30 minutes on your posts. VS. 📌 Regular Lost Pet Search: Slower-paced, more relaxed pet search. "Let me know if you see them." Flyers for awareness, etc This applies to fewer lost pet cases in the valley. The pet is likely nearby and following normal behavior. 📍 Dog/cat is casually roaming close to home 📍 Main goal is getting sightings and physical search in the area 📍 Focus is walking the neighborhood, knocking on doors, checking yards, checking shelters etc.

The reasons your case is urgent and requires crisis marketing tact: That is a neighborhood known for finding and keeping pets. They don't give them back. Your dog is little cute and fluffy high risk theft breed. It's extremely hot right now. At risk from cars.
