What a healthy lively smart looking dog! Walk all around the neighborhood talking with neighbors, showing them your flier with photo. Put distance readable flyers up at corners. Young Williams Animal Center has notebooks including location info and photos, for both Lost and Found. Go look through the Found notebook and put your flier in the Lost notebook. This can help! ~~~ Wishing you & Kasia all the best!! Hopefully she's already back home!

LOST DOG TIPS BEWARE of scammers saying they found your pet and want you to email them a code, etc. They will also tell you to text or connect through Instagram to a certain group that helped them find their pet. People saying that they found your dog and they want you to text your phone number in messenger, DON'T do it! It's a scam. SEARCHING RIGHT AWAY everywhere will increase chance of locating your dog. Borrow or buy humane trap and set up near your home where they got out. Cover it with scented items from you. Get a motion detector camera and monitor to see if it comes back to house. Ask neighbors to review any cameras they have to see if spotted. In the Woods? Go deep in woods around your house, take some torn strips of scented clothing, make a scent trail by walking around leaving strips of scented clothing leading back to house. **If Chipped, be sure it is registered and up to date! ***PLEASE WATCH VIDEOS on youtube ASAP TO GET ON THE FAST TRACK TO BECOMING A KNOWLEDGEABLE SEARCHER (1) SEARCH Immediate area (look in your house, outside of home, bushes, trees, under deck, porch,) do a thorough deep search by walking around and softly calling her name. Ask neighbors to check garages, crawlspace, drain ditches etc....WALK calling softly SHAKING bag of treats or smelly food like rotisserie chicken. Walk in your area late at night and early am while dark. If spotted, SIT or LAY and wait for them to come to you. (2) NOTIFY Animal Control, file a report and Visit in person every 2 days (3) ADS: lostmydoggie. com a great place to start, a free site that will send a fax blast to the closest vets, shelters in your area, Facebook for your county and state sites and Nextdoor app, petharbor. com, trianglelostpets. org, Petango. com, 24Petconnect. com, helpinglostpets. com, local newspaper and watch Craigslist (4) CONTACT local vets, groomers, pet stores, local rescues. Can get a list of contacts for vets/shelters/rescues here: lostpetusa. net/home choose Find help near you.... (5) FLYERS, give to mail carrier, delivery drivers, etc.! Make them Big, bold, and bright flyers!! Hang them at intersections & at places people meet within 2 mile radius. You can protect flyers from elements by using a plastic sheet protector turned upside down & then hanging flyer (buy at Staples, etc)...Keeps rain out. (6) BIG SIGN in your yard with picture alerting all neighbors and anyone that visits, TAG YOUR CAR WITH PIC & PHONE NUMBER (7) HANG out worn clothing, set out stinky shoes, etc with your scent on it (8) CAMERAS/ FEEDING STATION- at point of exit, get a motion detector camera and place close by with some scented clothing of yours. (9) FIRE UP GRILL cooking some food to help lure it back home. (10) HEAT DRONE Get someone with a heat seeking drone to help (11) Obtain a MAP of area and find WATER sources (they will look and stay close by water sources), also they often times follow power lines. Great website to read for more help: missionreunite. org/ find-a-lost-dog When you spot them, don’t chase, try this: nodogaboutit. wordpress. com/2014/06/01/loose-dog-dont-chase-stop-drop-and-lie-down/ GO TO THE SHELTER AND CHECK FOR THEM ..about 85% of pets that are adopted from shelters are strays and their owners never came for them...

Be sure to GO to your LOCAL SHELTERS with a photo and report your pet lost (your pet may have been taken to a shelter that is not the closest one to you). They have a board for both lost and found pets. Many finders take pets they find to them. Remember, NOT EVERYONE is on Social Media. There's some excellent advice on Missing Animal Response Network on Facebook as well as their website. Additional advice can be found on the website under the drop down menu labeled lost pet help.

Give flyers to the local vet offices and mail carriers too!! Missing Animal Response Network has excellent advice on what to do when your pet goes missing. The section about NEON signs is a must but all of the tips will also help you in your efforts to find your pet. Try putting a large lost sign at the last place seen (someone else may have seen something). Also check on Craigslist under pets lost/found.

Try posting on the local nextdoor app (if possible), lost. petcolove. org and watching craigslist. 🤞 Also try putting out unwashed laundry and some stinky shoes at the last place seen and hopefully your pet will smell it's way back to you. DO NOT put out your pet's bedding because it can attract predators where your scent will scare predators off but still attract your pet. Maybe fire up a grill! *Try contacting this local search and rescue.*
