If you are interested in pursuing this, then I'm hoping this will help. First, I'm so glad you're helping. Thanks! 🌹 It's always good to see people with big hearts helping. 😁👍💝. Sometimes, people will pick up pets and not immediately look for owners. This can lead them to get lost in areas they're unfamiliar with. Many pets end up in the streets because of this. Thank you for looking for the owners. I'm sure she/he just wants to go to their rightful home. I'm glad you're looking. 🌹 🙏🙏🙏🙏 If you walk the pet on a leash by where it was found, it might lead you to its home. Knock on doors, too. 💝 Be very careful of people saying they messaged you or asking you to message them. Sometimes, it's someone trying to get a free pet. It's not legal. 😥 This might be helpful. I hope so anyway. Is there enough information in the post? The more information you can add, the better to find your pet or a pet owner. Try Marketplace, Ring app (you don't need the doorbell for the app), next-door, and other sites. Talk to your mail carrier. Please click the three dots upper right and edit to add the cross streets, city, and state if they're not in the post. Breed of pet is also helpful. The date that the pet was lost or found should also be included. Join local lost and found groups for your area and share for more help. Make all posts Public. You should include the original missing date and state on top of your post. Searches on Google and FB go by posts, not groups. It makes it simpler for those of us who search. The city and state especially are very important for those of us who do Google and FB searches for pets. Owners look for their pets at local Shelters and Humane Society. Please call them to let them know you have the pet. Also, pet shops, groomers, and vets might recognize them. So might the mail carrier. Many times, people get the gender of the pet wrong. Please always check in person. I've noticed that dogs associate hands with food. If you are not handing them something to chew on, your hand becomes the next best thing. Don't put your hand out. And you should NEVER try to feed a dog that you don't know by hand anyway. It just reinforces the bite instinct. Put it in a bowl, lay it down, and back away slowly if you're trying to rescue the dog. Give it time to come to you, not all dogs will. Also, thoroughly research these pet finders please. Not all of them are legitimate businesses. Their motives may not be good. I'm adding this Aug. 2, 2026 because I recently researched one that doesn't exist in a Google business search, except on FB. Their page was created on July 16th, 2026. 17 days ago. A simple solution is to ask for the business license number. You can research those on the Secretary of State site. Business licences are a requirement. It is a good idea to meet owners at the police station, especially if or when more than one person is trying to claim the pet. If you decide to do this, let police in on it. They will possibly send someone out to make sure everything goes alright. It is unlikely that a scammer will agree to meeting there. Some legit owners might not either, but it makes it safer for everyone involved. If you decide to use Paw boost, check your emails daily, especially if your pet is lost for a long time. And please add a phone number. Pets have been found and not able to return home because all that is found of old posts is Paw boost with no information and emails are ignored. 😥 You should contact Vets, Groomers, and local pet shops and report them as found to Humane Society, Shelters, and local law enforcement. as well. Fliers could help and so could knocking on doors. A vet will scan for a chip for free. If it has a chip, the chip company can be notified, too. Not everyone has internet, and some ppl are not on Facebook. Join other sites like nextdoor, Ring, etc... if they are on FB, they may check other lost and found groups. Check Craigs-list. The Ring app is really good, too! 👍 A quick way to check groups is to click on the pictures link on the homepage. It can save time. 😁👍 Do not answer messages offering a code. Especially don't go to i n s t a, or other sites, and research area codes of people who want you to call them. These are generally scams. They are scams. Good luck!!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🙏🙏🙏🙏
