Lesley Taylor sorry perhaps I accidentally tagged you instead of putting it on the main part of the post. Each comment boosts the post to get more views. So that was my goal.

Lex Harrison he asked a question about if the post was the same not if I was the owner!! Before you come giving your opinion and advice have your facts correct ! Not my post not my dog, ya dig??

The biggest mistake that owners make that causes them to not find their pet is they don't have a major intersection and the city on their post. They either don't put anything or they put one street. PB doesn't offer an option to put both I guess because I see it repeatedly on their posts. Please use the screenshot I gave you to put your post together and start sharing that. Share the same thing every time. That way you don't have to remember what goes on there. Don't forget to comment on your post as well as soon as it goes live maybe add three or four pictures of your dog as well. That will boost your post and get more views.

Lesley Taylor you really need to make sure you have all the details on your post. People can't help you look with one street listed. That means you're the only one really looking for your pet in your neighborhood at this point. Super important to put your dog on next door and neighbors by ring so you can reach 20 to 50 people with one post. Then comment frequently on your post that makes more people look at it.

Peter Garippa that's all the way in ahwatukee. People typically don't take and pit bulls for the most part unless they're stealing to keep the dog. It's highly highly unlikely that this is the same dog. Thanks for sharing though.

Why nearby neighbors matter more than large Facebook groups in the first couple of days. An example of how it works: Let's say there's a Facebook group for Surprise AZ with 24,000 people in it. It's a decent sized city. Approximately 11 miles north to south. 8 to 10 miles east to west. Covering approximately 110 square miles. Posting on a Facebook group with 24,000 members may sound like a massive search team. However, most of those people are too spread out and will never even see the pet in real life. Approximately 50% of people like dogs or would be helpful if they see the dog. The remaining 50% are a mix of people who are: Indifferent Don't notice dogs Don't feel comfortable around unfamiliar dogs Are too busy, or Simply aren't interested in helping. A loose small dog can travel an estimated 3–5 miles in a day A large dog can travel 5 to 10+ miles a day. But in this heat they are not traveling that far. Likely within a mile or two. Of course in this heat the first hours are critical!! A dog that is loose may still be within a manageable area, but every day that passes, increases the distance it travels and the number of possibilities move from manageable to endless. This is why the goal is NOT Shares, or views because there is no way you will reach everyone with your post in your city. Definitely not going to get everyone looking for your pet. Your goal is to get as many people as possible within that 1–3 mile radius of the last known location, ACTIVELY paying attention. Typically the TOP and MOST EFFECTIVE way to do that is with the neighborhood apps. And the Facebook groups for your subdivision. In heavy spanish-speaking neighborhoods flyers are typically the lead way to go as well as Spanish language groups for your neighborhood. Offering a reward definitely grabs attention so if you're in a hurry you definitely want to add one for the most attention. Right now in the heat, most people need the extra inspiration to check their cameras and look outside.

If your pet is friendly there's a good chance someone took it into their home. Hopefully it's a good person that posts looking for you. Unfortunately we have an extremely high rate of people that think finders keepers, if it's free it's for me. When they do this they think they are rescuing a puppy so they keep it. Once owners get Flyers up these types will drive right past them and sleep well at night while they steal your dog. Hopefully a good person found your dog and they are posting looking for you. If your dog is skittish and will not let anyone approach, then you have your work cut out for you because you're going to have to post on the two neighborhood apps and get Flyers up immediately and look for leads and sightings. Then you're going to have to get over there since no one else will be able to contain your pet for you. I hope you find your doggy quickly and safely. ♥️

Major error: for some reason PB only asks for one street and a zip code. A zip code can be miles long which is not helpful for finding a pet. For best results you want to focus on the actual major intersection by your house. If owner's out quickly their dog is usually within a mile of the house. You want others that are helping you to be focused on that area as well. Dogs are dropping like flies within 30 minutes to an hour in this heat and can get hit within 5 minutes of getting out so owners really can't afford to lose time by not having clear info. I really hope you find your pet quickly and safely. ♥️

Put a box in your driveway so if someone finds your dog they know where it belongs. Then put one at the exit point from your subdivision so people can quickly contact you if they see your dog. Don't forget your phone number.
