ONCE DOG IS FOUND: 🐾 🐾
●●** Please make sure to get your dog CHIPPED/ REGISTERED/WITH TAGS. This helps ensure your dog gets home if it gets lost again.
●●Please consider a GPS collar for live tracking updates. This is especially important for runners, like Huskies/ German Shephard's for example.
●●**Also please put a LOCK 🔐 🔒 on your fence gate if you have one. This helps keep dogs in & dog thieves out!!** So many dogs get lost this way!
Hope you find your fur baby soon. 🐾 🐕 🐕 🐾 🐾 dogHelp 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:
Leave the scene and start searching for your dog. You are spreading your scent and making it more difficult for your dog to come back to you.
Close up your house so your dog has no way of coming inside when they return.
Chase your dog or yell their name. This will only drive them furtherRead More
🙏❤️ If they were lost near home ... leave a door slightly open especially at night .... worked for our pet.
Found them sleeping on the couch the next morning .
Pets that are lost and scared most often will hide in underbrush tickets or shrubs close to home and feel safe to come out at night to find their way homeRead More
Notify non-emergency police, animal control and the postal carriers in the area lost. Check with neighbors or businesses nearby that may have cameras. Put a neon sign in your yard. Fill out lost reports with both Lost Dogs/Cats Illinois website www.petfbi.org and Pawboost website (choose not to pay for ads and it’s free!) They will generate a flyer for you to print. Post in lost animal sites and community sites on FB. Put up flyers at nearby stores/gas stations, pet stores, libraries, and give some to pizza delivery places to put on their boxes. Put the outside flyers in a gallon sized freezer bag to protect from the elements. You can also try bus companies to put a flyer on their buses. Let the kids in the area know as they notice everything when not on their phones. Put food and water out and something with your scent. Check in nearby garages, sheds, window wells, ponds, look under decks. Also check with shelters in person or call as many as you can and give them a flyer. If the animal is chipped notify the company and make sure your contact info is correct. Also let vet and groomers in the area know. Can see if anyone has a drone to help search especially if woods nearby. Please also be aware of scammers. Especially if you are giving a reward. Do not give them a code or anything they ask. Tell them you will give them the reward at the police station for both of your safety. 🙏🏻 for a reunion soon! Don’t give up hope!Read More
