If you need someone to take him, I can gladly foster him until you find the owner

Pets are considered personal property in California, by law, so “reasonable efforts” must be made to locate his owner and return him. Here are some suggestions that should ensure that you make a good faith effort to reunite this pup with his family. First, please check through these posts and look to see if the dog is posted and you may find his family this way. Also please check on the PawBoost website, PawBoost.com, because you can get a wider range of lost pets, and see if the dog is posted as LOST. You can do searches by breed, color, location, etc. If the pup isn’t posted as Lost then please update your PawBoost Found post to INCLUDE your phone number where it asks for it. This allows for the reunification to be much easier for you and the owner. But, do NOT post your # in the body of your post. Please keep checking the post at least several times daily, and all new LOST posts, until the owner is found. Also: ❌IMPORTANT: On day one, you are required to file a Found Pet Report (with photo) with the closest shelter. Some shelter websites allow to file the report on their webpage. Also, browse through their lost pet logs. The pet logs are Lost & Found pet reports from pet owner/ finders who either call in or file online reports to the shelter. ❌ Have the pup scanned for a microchip at a vet or a shelter/animal services. If a microchip is found, it is your obligation to deliver the pup to your local animal control agency (shelter) to have them try to contact the owner and return the pet. ❌Post on various other local lost/found pet forums on Facebook; also Next Door, Craigslist, 24PetConnect. ❌You can foster the pet for the mandatory hold time for your county, which I think is 14 days. If you are fostering, make a “found pet” poster (free in PawBoost) and make copies with neon paper, posting them around your neighborhood., local stores, schools, vets. 80% of lost pets are found within ONE mile of home, so check your local area and speak with neighbors. Remember, some older adults do not use social media. This dog probably lives close to you. Also, pets can ONLY be adopted through your local shelter or a bonafide dog rescue. ❌ Verify ownership through: vet records, photos & social media🐾 Source: https://www.ccspca.com/blog-spca/found-a-stray-the-facts-of-pet-ownership/
