Be sure to GO to your LOCAL SHELTERS with a photo and report your pet lost (your pet may have been taken to a shelter that is not the closest one to you). They have a board for both lost and found pets. Many finders take pets they find to them. Remember, NOT EVERYONE is on Social Media. There's some excellent advice on Missing Animal Response Network on Facebook as well as their website. Additional advice can be found on the website under the drop down menu labeled lost pet help.

Give flyers to the local shelter, vet offices and mail carriers too!! Missing Animal Response Network has excellent advice on what to do when your pet goes missing. The section about NEON signs is a must but all of the tips will also help you in your efforts to find your pet. Try putting a large lost sign in your yard (someone else may have seen something). Also check on Craigslist under pets lost/found.

Try posting on your local nextdoor app (if possible), lost. petcolove. org and watching craigslist. 🤞 Also try putting out unwashed laundry and some stinky shoes at the last place seen and hopefully your pet will smell it's way back to you. DO NOT put out your pet's bedding out because it can attract predators where your scent will scare predators off but still attract your pet. Maybe fire up a grill! *Try contacting this local search and rescue, SMOKY MOUNTAIN K9 SEARCH AND RESCUE*

Not sure if anyone is missing a doggy, but there was a medium-large white dog on the side of Louisville Rd near the first church right after you pass walmart, if anyone is looking for one 😔 there is a police officer staying near him but the dog passed away. I'm sorry for your loss, I just thought I would post so that maybe the owners would see it and have some closure 💔 I would want to know if it was one of my babies 🥺
