Thank you for your concern & kindness but especially not letting them just wander off. 🧡 Here are some proven tips to help reunite pups with their humans: Walk them leashed around the neighborhood to see if their humans are actively looking for them or if anyone in the neighborhood recognize them. Please be sure to make a report to animal control. The animal control shelter is the first place the owners will look for them. If animal control doesn’t answer, leave a message and/or file a report through the shelter’s webpage. If unable to hold for safe keeping and unable to make contact with animal control, call the police department’s non-emergency phone number to have them picked up & taken to the shelter. Do NOT release to run loose again, in hopes they find their way home. Have them scanned for a microchip (animal control & vets will do this for free). Report them to nearby veterinarians and pet groomers; preferably with a flyer including a picture to post. Share in your local neighborhood and/or community group(s) as well as PawBoost and the Neighbors by Ring & NextDoor apps. Post “found” flyers using bright poster board as a backdrop to draw attention Make sure to get proof from those claiming they are theirs before relinquishing custody. Hope this helps! Fingers crossed!🤞🤞
