Thanks so much for helping the dog. Use the information that fits your situation.
You can greatly increase the chances of finding the owner by creating a FOUND dog post and viewing LOST dogs on the sites below.
Since the finder/owner has no clue where you've posted, put up as many lost and found posts as possible.
Remember a dog can travel many miles a day, so it's important to check areas further away from where found.
Follow posts with similar dogs/cats. You may end up finding the owner/finder that way.
Keep your post active and seen by others by responding and updating everyone with what's happening.
Make sure your notifications are turned on since many will simply leave information on your post and not message you.

View these same sites for the owner's lost dog post.
*****Inform shelters (ACS if in/near San Antonio) that you have the dog since the owner will likely call there first. They may even have the owner's information already.
Put up signs in plastic sheet protectors (opening at the bottom)
Check for a microchip at a Vet's office or Petsmart for free. If the chip isn't registered, find out who inserted the chip and they will likely have the name of the person that owns the dog. Even if not chipped, there is likely a family searching for their baby.
Before rehoming someone's lost baby, please give the owner the benefit of the doubt and time to locate your posts since they can be difficult to find. Keep in mind that stolen dogs, found dogs, etc. can end up getting dumped, too.
Verify ownership. Some will try to claim ownership or offer to watch the dog. Please either hold on to the dog and post or take to a no shelter. If someone offers to foster, make sure the rescue they are using actually takes the dog first.
Add date found and zip code/cross streets up in the post since most will not see it in comments.
You can become a foster through a rescue. They will cover food and medical needs until the owner is found. If the owner is not located, they will find a family to adopt the dog.
If you end up taking the dog to a rescue/shelter, please keep your post active w the place you took them listed up at thThanks so much for helping the dog. Use the information that fits your situation.Read More
Contact local vets, 24 hour vet hospitals,local fire station to check for microchip.. IT'S FREE!
Please make sure the ENTIRE body of the animal is scanned. Microchips can float!
Contact neighborhood constable /Police / and vets to see if they know the pet or owner. If someone contacts you, have THEM tell YOU detail information to make sure pet goes to the right owner! If the pup is not chipped and owner is found..have the owner meet you at a vet location to have the pet chipped(strongly convince owner to fix the pup if not already done) and then returned to them at their expense..Most counties/cities requirement is now in place..ALL pets must be chipped and registered!
PLEASE be aware dogs stolen daily and used for dog fighting bait!😡 please keep this angel safe.
CHECK NEIGHBORHOOD OR HOME CAMERAS IF THERE ARE ANY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVITY!
Thank you for keeping the pup safe!!🐶🐕🦺🙏Read More
