- Put pup’s bed outside on the porch near the front door and place unwashed clothing and unwashed bed sheets in the yard. Place unwashed laundry high to catch the breeze and carry the scent of home - over porch railings and fences or bushes. You are creating a scent trail for pooch to follow home.
- If possible and it’s safe to do so, leave the door open for pooch to walk back inside your home. If that’s not a possible consider sleeping near the door so that you can better hear if pooch barks or scratches at the door to be let back inside. Pets are the most likely to return late at night when things are quiet, usually between 1-4 am.
- Another good scent idea is to BBQ meat or chicken. Cook something on your outside grill that you can cook a long time, so the delicious scent will travel.
- Go door to door and tell your neighbors pooch is missing, give them pup’s photo and your ph number.
- Offer a reward if you are financially able to do so.
- Ask your neighbors to check in their sheds, garages and any vehicle or building that may have been open around the time pooch went missing. Pooch could’ve sought shelter there / hidden and then become trapped.
- Also ask your neighbors if they have a ring doorbell or outside cameras. If so, they may have a photo or video of the furbaby which will tell you what direction pooch was going.
- Be sure to talk in normal tones when walking the neighborhood, your dog may respond to your voice and come to you. No crying or yelling
- If you have another dog or your dog has a dog friend, walk the doggie friend on leash, give them the scent of the missing dog, if possible, say the missing dogs name and go for a leash walk with the dog. The dog just may lead you to the missing dog or the missing dog may come out of hiding to greet their friend. My Yorkie was great at this.
Best wishes.
