Get your flyers up!
Do not rely on social media alone, most of my missing animals come home, because of physical flyers!
I do 8X11 in the immediate area 4 per block, the bigger the area 3 per block and so on.
I've had the most success with the 4 per page mini handouts of the same flyer. I will give these to the Mailman, UPS, Fedex, Garbage man, Gas stations, Grocery stores.
Also fluorescent backgrounds at major intersections 8X11 or bigger.
Also law enforcement and animal control.
More than likely, it's not going to be your eyeballs.That bring your pet home.Also not everybody has social media.
So we need as much help as we can get from the community. So make it easy for them to get a hold of you.
and remember the harder you work, the luckier you get!
I hope these suggestions help you get your animal home soon and safe.

Have the owners place their clothing out. It’s super important to get flyers up ASAP and notify the microchip company. Is he wearing a collar with a tag?Read More
🚨 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.Read More
