Please also notify your vet and vets nearby and in the surrounding area in case your pet is brought in for care. Notify any and all shelters and humane societies as well. I have heard it’s helpful to check shelters daily as possible. Please know we are praying!

Check into the Michelson Foundation to co-register chip with their national database. If your pet is chipped, no matter what company, you can register the number on the Michelson Found Animals Microchip Registry that allows any chip number to be added to their registry. It is absolutely free with Michelson to register any chip number with any company. Be sure to include your contact and vet information so anyone who might find your pet can have that info to get in touch. Once added, it takes maybe 10-15 minutes at most, on the website you can activate a missing alert for them which notifies the system they are missing. I recently found out about this and wanting to share with any and all pet owners. Michelson is a great national registry and so helpful.

Help find your dogs Do: Wait patiently at the scene for as long as possible. Stay put so your dog can come back following your scent. “Let the dog come back to you.” When you must go home, take a dirty sock, t-shirt, or underwear that has been close to your skin and place them outside of your home. This is another scent lure. Set up a “meat trap” using odorous meats. This is done based on investigative work. For example, after a neighbor saw your dog running up a hill, the meat and water would be placed at the foot of the hill. Broadcast that your dog is missing using social media, posters, and word of mouth. Ask people to report sightings rather than attempt to retrieve your dog. She will be frightened and run away again. Use sighting reports to use scent based lures like clothing or food. Leave doors open so that your dog has a way to get inside when they return home. Do not Chase your dog or yell their name. This will only drive them further away.
