General Information: Set up a scent station. Get a scent that the dog is familiar with out in front of the house (EX Worn clothing / shoes from a family member that the dog lives with.) Hang it out high so that the smell can travel and guide the dog back home. Keep an access point open in case the dog returns. Please post signs with the dogs' picture and your contact information on the sign. Post these signs all over as if someone spots your dog the person can contact you and provide a location of where the dog is. (Not everyone is on Social Media). Ask your neighbors to check their doorbell or house cameras (if applicable), sheds and garage. Owners: Do not try and search for the dog - as your scent travels when you are out and walking all over can confuse the dog. The dog should only smell your scent near your home. Never underestimate the ability of a dog to find their way home using their nose. Call or go to the Animal Shelter in your area and tell them that your dog is missing to see if it has been picked up. Prayers your dog is found safely. Beware of scammers.

🚨 LOST DOG – WHAT TO DO IMMEDIATELY TO HELP BRING YOUR DOG HOME 🚨 If your dog is missing, follow these critical steps right away: 🏠 Bring Them Home with Scent and Access • Hang dirty laundry (T-shirts, socks, shoes) high on a fence or branch to allow the wind to carry the scent - use items worn by the person your dog is most bonded with. • Dogs can smell home from miles away - your scent can guide them back. • Leave an access point open such as a cracked garage or front door in case they return. • Sleep near the front door if possible - your presence may help them feel safe enough to come back. • If you have other pets, keep them secured in a separate room. 📣 Post Signs & Notify Everyone • Make signs with a clear photo and your contact info. • Put signs everywhere - on poles, street corners, and especially on doorsteps in the neighborhood. • Ask neighbors to check security cameras (e.g., Ring) for sightings. 🌐 Spread the Word Online • Post on local: • Lost & Found Facebook groups • Nextdoor • PawBoost • Ring Neighbors app • Include your contact info, dog’s name, and location last seen. 🐶 Microchip & Shelter Alerts • If your dog is microchipped, notify the chip company immediately and mark your pet as lost. • Call ALL nearby animal shelters and rescues, and leave a detailed voicemail if no one answers. Follow up daily. ⚠️ Beware of Scams • Do NOT send money or provide any verification codes. • Scammers often pretend to have your pet and demand payment. • A real finder will be happy to help and won’t ask for money.

‼️PLEASE READ ENTIRELY‼️ Contact all local veterinary clinics in and surrounding the area your dog was lost. Was your dog lost from home? - If yes, have you placed a “LOST DOG” sign on your front fence? - If yes, leave your dog’s bed in the front yard along with an item of your clothing. (The reason for this is to help your dog scent their way back home, if able). Was your dog lost elsewhere? If yes, please return to the area your dog was last sighted and leave an item of the dog’s and the pwner’s on the ground. (The reason for this is to help your dog scent their way back to this area, if able.) Start searching from this area and return often to check the area where the items were left. Have you door knocked all the neighbours surrounding the area your dog was lost? (Dogs have been found hiding in backyards, under houses and in bushland at the back of.neighbours properties.) Have you searched under bridges and in drains? Dogs have been found trapped under bridges and have fallen in drains unable to get back out. (A little dog last week fell down a drain and after the owner read my recommendations she checked the drains surrounding her home and found her dog trapped in the drain. The owner was extremely grateful for this advice.) ‼️ IMPORTANT‼️ Was your dog lost near bushland/state forests/reserves/parks/rivers/creeks? If yes, please search these areas for your darling dog. Take some food (try en). Dogs are often lost, hiding or trapped in parkland/bushland surrounding the area they were lost. They can get caught in heavy vegetation, collars and harnesses can get caught on branches or fences, leads can get caught in vegetation on the ground or they can fall down embankments and are unable to climb back out. Ten dogs recently lost: - dog found trapped in a lantana filled gully unable to move. - dog trapped in a dry river bed. - dog trapped in a riverbed with water. - dog had fallen down a steep embankment unable to climb out. - dog trapped in thick bushland. - dog hiding in a reserve. - two dogs found entangled in vines. - two dogs trapped in mangroves. When dogs are lost, hiding or trapped n bushland searching is the only way dogs are found otherwise they would not have survived. The majority of searches took between 27 - 72 hours to find their dogs however some searches took up to 10 days to find their dog in the bushland. If sighted DO NOT CALL OUT OR CHASE your dog, instead SIT ON THE GROUND or CROUCH DOWN, hold out food/treats (if available), MAKE NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS, wait for your dog to approach you then try to secure your dog. Your dog could currently be in “flight mode” which means they will not initially recognize you if sighted and it will require patience to rescue.
