These are the tips we use in lost pet rescue in the Wake County, NC area. Please follow ALL tips asap and don't give up! Be consistent in your efforts as it may take awhile to find your furbaby. WHERE TO POST IF YOU LIVE IN THE WAKE COUNTY AREA: Please post on these FB pages (and include date lost, subdivision lost from and closest intersection to where lost): * Wake County Pet Network, * Wake County Lost and Found Pets, * Lost and Found Pets of the Triangle NC, * Pawboost, * Nextdoor and * Ring Neighbors * Post on and check Craig's List ** Also contact the Wake County Animal Center and report your pet as lost (and be sure to look at their found dog pages EVERY DAY!). FOOD: Fire up your grill (portable propane grills from Walmart work great) and cook BACON, chicken, hot dogs, - the smell of food on the grill can help bring the doggie closer to home/to where lost from/or last place seen. Cook on the grill several times a day. Spread bacon grease on rags and put in tree branches (up as high as you can reach) leading to the point of escape. Dogs really love bacon, vienna sausage, rotisserie chicken, especially KFC chicken. They can smell chicken cooking from several miles away. FOOD STATION: Leave a bowl of water and a bowl with some bacon, deboned rotisserie chicken, favorite wet dog food, vienna sausage in a bowl (the food and water is referred to as a food station) at the point of escape and at any area where seen. Refresh the food/water daily. https://lostdogsofamerica.org/luring-a-shy-lost-dog-using-a-portable-grill/ CAMERAS: Place a trail camera/cameras facing the food station so you can tell what is eating the food at the food station. You can also place the food where your security camera will show if your dog is eating the food. Ask your neighbors to check their security camera footage for any sightings. CROCK POT: Put fatty meat in a crock pot and cook outside on porch/patio. You can also crack your garage door or back door and lure them with the crock pot cooking. LIQUID SMOKE: Buy liquid smoke from the grocery store/Walmart and mix with water in a spray bottle. Set the spray setting to "stream" and thoroughly spray the upper branches of trees and bushes close to where your doggie escaped from and leading to any food station. The wind will carry the scent. Spray in a wagon wheel pattern every 2 days. SCENT ITEMS: Put your (the owner's) unlaundered items such as socks, shirts, pillowcases, wash cloths in the upper branches of bushes and trees close to the point of escape/where last seen. Also, put a dirty scent item next to the food station. Your scent (the owner's scent) can help lure the doggie closer to home. A dog's sense of smell is incredible. COMPANION DOG: When walking around searching during the day, you may want to take your companion dog on a leash to help lure him/her. Try to walk on one side of the road so your scent doesn't cause your dog to run back and forth across roads. ************** **************** *** SENIOR DOGS: Older dogs tend to seek water sources (ponds, lakes, creeks), walk downhill (and can't walk back uphill), get stuck in ravines/ditches/underbrush, and walk along fence lines. Walk down any hills, ravines, and embankments to ensure your dog has not fallen or walked down and is unable to get back up. Thoroughly check all of these areas. ** ************** **************** YOUR DOG'S SCENT ITEMS, PET TRACKER: In case you may need to contact a pet tracker to help search, take any items that have the doggie's scent (dog's fur under beds, toys, etc.) and place in separate zip lock bags and put into the freezer. BALYNDA BROWN lives in Raleigh and has a tracking dog, Bravo, who is excellent. She is on Facebook. Please call and text her asap for a game plan 919-418-7953. She can also consult with you at no charge. Access the link below to complete info about your lost pet so Balynda will have background info. https://www.facebook.com/k9bravo/ ERIN EATON is also a wonderful resource! https://www.facebook.com/k9soncall?mibextid=kFJD DO NOT CHASE! These tips in the video link below are extremely helpful. When dogs are lost, they go into panic/survival mode and many times don't even recognize their owners.

Signs are extremely important to get the word out. FACEBOOK COMMUNITY PAGE: Consider setting up a FB Community page for your furbaby. You can specify certain zip codes to which you can run ads. FB users in those zip codes will see the ads. The ads don't cost very much. FOR MICROCHIPPED DOGS: Please contact the microchip company and make sure your contact info is current and report your pet as missing.
