Lost Dog Tips and Information
* Please post on Lost Dogs Illinois by registering your pup at https://www.petfbi.org
* If your pup is shy/skittish, please do not post sightings. Good Samaritans may chase your dog and cause your dog to bolt or run into traffic.
* Leave food, water and a scent item (ie unlaundered shirt, towel with your scent on it) where the dog went missing. Oftentimes dogs will return to where they were lost from.
* Share the post and start spreading the word on social media, including Next Door and Neighbors Ring App
* Flyers are most important right now! There are many people not on social media, so the more people that see that flyer, the better.
* Put a large lost dog sign in your yard.
* If chipped, call the chip company asap & make sure it’s registered & up to date!
* Alert your Animal Control and Police Department too and check with them daily.
SCAM alert! Please be careful with anyone claiming to have your dog and asking for a 6 digit google code to prove you are a human. It is a scam and in full force. Also, beware of anyone asking for money for your dog back. NEVER send money until you have possession of your dog. Please disregard no matter how persistent the scammers are!
Also suggested instagram information to reach out to is a new scam going around.
Good luck! I hope you find your fur baby soon.
