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.Read More
🐾 If you haven't already
(these are some suggestions, as you may have already done some of these and some suggestions may not pertain to your situation).
If chipped....Immediately alert the chip company and make sure your info is UTD.
File a lost report with local shelters. Go there in person on a regular basis.
Post on Next Door and PawBoost. Ignore the pay prompts for PawBoost.
Download Ring app and ask neighbors to check their footage. Let the postman know, as they know most of the people on their routes. You don’t have to have a Ring doorbell.
Put clothes, towels, bedding that smells like you on your porch.
Post on as many Lost and Found sites on FB as possible. Do not duplicate posts on the pages as this loses the thread.
Dogs usually head north, for some reason, so look in that direction. But obviously check everywhere.
Put up clear, simple and brightly colored signs all around the area. Put a sign in your yard with a picture and your phone number.
Walk the neighborhood and put flyers on everyone's door.
Immediately put out your dog's bed, and some of YOUR dirty clothes (dirty socks are nice and stinky)/blankets (dry in dryer first to enhance smell).
Contact all local animal shelters, vets and groomers in your area.
Check Craigslist in your area. Some people still put there. Look under found pets or pets for sale.
If you live at an Apt complex ask the office mgr to send an email to all tenants, it could be someone that lives there picked him up.
Walk don't drive around looking for your baby. The car may muffle your voice 🐾Read More
