Please use keywords in your post. That way if rescue volunteers are looking for an owner your post will come up. Found color of dog Size of dog Breed of dog Male or female Unique spots on the dog City and state Major intersection. Your location should be first in your post!! The goal isn't to reach everyone in Arizona it's to reach the people in your immediate vicinity. Then bullet point format with details on the pet so people can quickly scan. Use lots of keywords at the bottom of your post. Put your phone number so people can quickly contact you if they see your pet Crop your photos: you want your dog as big as possible. Nice clear picture of the pet from the front And a second one from the side to show identifying markings. You have two seconds to grab people's attention you want to make it count. 0Cut the Walls furniture other dogs people the yard etc out of the photo. Just the pet.

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.

Still can't find your pet? 1. Have you posted 👉👉three times a day on next door AND Neighbors by ring? (NOT THE RING APP) 👉👉 Have you commented on your post two or three times to get it going? 👉👉 Have you continued to comment for a few days so everyone in your neighborhood to see it? Or did you just post and move on to post somewhere else? 2. Did you put a reward in the first sentence? 👉👉👉With the amount? 3. Did you put a reward AND your phone number plus ONE BIG CLEAR picture of your pet on all the garages on your street? And the one behind your house? If that didn't work... 4. Did you call all the veterinarians within 10 miles of you to see if A PET MATCHING YOUR PETS DESCRIPTION was brought in injured or deceased hit by a car? 5. Did you call the local police department and ask for dispatch and see if anyone reported a deceased pet matching yours description for dead animal pickup? 6. Did you crop everything out of the picture but your pet and put it on Petco love lost?

MID-LOWER INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS Most lost pet instructions point about 80% of owners with a lost pet in the wrong direction in the first 48 hours by telling them: ▪️Update your microchip ▪️Call the shelter ▪️Contact your veterinarian ▪️Put dirty laundry outside. ▪️Get flyers up. We have the HIGHEST rate of lost pets, In neighborhoods where they are LEAST likely to have a microchip or a vet. So that information is NOT helpful. Next door and the neighbors by ring apps Have the top rate of return work like an amber alert. They cover the immediate vicinity and Get the word out to multiple people at once. The people most likely to see the dog in real life. So get a post up on both of those and then after that you can put up Flyers. Flyers with a reward amount on them work best. Next door has around a 75% return rate. Neighbors by ring has around a 69% return rate. Flyers have around a 7 to 21% return rate. This is because there are about 10 steps involved for a flyer to be effective. However all 3 of these are the top methods because they: Reach the immediate vicinity. Immediately They reach the people most likely to see the pet. They reach many people at once in the target area.

This is an urgent case both because of the heat and the theft risk. This is what's considered an urgent or crisis marketing flyer. These should be up all around the area. They are simple. It's about the reward not the dog.

2 types of Lost Pet Flyers 1st type: Community-Oriented Flyer (No Reward) ✅ These matter to: Neighbors that would be willing to help, and have the time. Likely about 20 to 30% or less of your neighborhood. In extreme heat it's much less. ✅ Goal: To make the neighborhood aware that your dog is missing. ✅ Effective design: “LOST DOG” or “FOUND DOG” large and bold Clear photo Date & location Contact info ✅ Works because: The target audience likes animals and has a neighborly mindset to help others. 2ND TYPE: Bounty/Reward Flyer (With AMOUNT!) ✅ These matter to: finders/keepers/thieves ✅ Goal: Motivate those who are in it for themselves to give the pet back. ✅ Effective design: "$2-500 REWARD with the amount as the biggest text NOT LOST DOG NOT HAVE YOU SEEN ME Pet photo Large contact info ✅ Works because: It speaks to their greed. What's in it for them. It's easier to return the pet to the owner for cash, than to sell it on the street. They do not care that you are sad. Do not care about doing the right thing. This flyer needs to be very simple. Reward $200 Phone number ONE BIG picture of the pet They need to be able to read it from 20 ft away. Do not put lost dog, missing dog. Have you seen me? Do not share how much you miss your dog. The background story. None of that. These things take up too much space and a thief doesn't care how much you miss your pet.

THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND PEOPLE WHO KEEP YOUR PET: PROFILE 1: (Finder-Keeper) Psychology: These are people who convince themselves they’re doing the right thing by keeping a found pet.🫩 Often believe “If it's free it's for me”, finders keepers or that they’re a better owner. They often call it ”rescuing a puppy,” especially if your dog looked scared, dirty, or was outside alone. These types are motivated by emotional attachment: “My kids love this dog now.” Hero syndrome: “I saved it.” Avoiding hassle: “I don’t want to take it to animal control.” Fear losing something they now like. What for the best tactics that work on them: Reward with the amount “No questions asked” reward Remind them that pets are considered property under Arizona State law. It's actually a crime to find and keep someone's pet when you can clearly see they are looking for it. It's considered theft of property and they could face charges if they don't do the right thing Remind them to be a hero and do the right thing by returning the pet. Make it easy to meet up, get the reward, return the pet. No questions asked. 🐾

The biggest risk factor though is someone taking your dog and keeping it. I would say 8 to 9 out of 10 are found and kept and never seen again. And I've been doing this a long time. The problem is regular flyers and posts do not speak to a thief. Cash is king. Finding a French Bulldog is like finding $5,000 in the street. How many people are going to return that? So owners need to decide how important it is they find their dog and get it back.

Remind people that your dog is at risk from the heat likely has less than an hour. Ask people has anyone seen someone picking up the dog. Say things that jog their memory so they think about it.

Jacob Barragan when people post things like this and they don't respond you cannot wait. You need to get someone over there to look. If you can't go in person what you can do is post on neighbors by ring and let people know the update on the location. Make sure you are posting on neighbors by ring and next door. To be honest I would post every hour or two today. It's extremely important that you comment on your post as well on Facebook and next door that means typing in have you seen this dog? $150 reward if you spot this dog and I can get her back. Frenchie at extreme risk in the heat Have you seen someone pick her up? Etc things like that to stir the pot and boost the algorithms.
