Sharing Wyoming, Michigan post some ads up around the area rewards always helps. Go out walking the neighborhood knocking on doors check with local veterinarians check with local animal, shelter and Humane Society. You must let them know you lost your dog just in case somebody finds it poor baby prayers post some ads on local Lost and Found pet sites. You can Google these in your area such as neighbors next door and craigslist and for the love of. For the Love of Louie *Michigan Lost Pet Lookers* and paws Boost and Kent county lost and found you can also try putting your dogs, bed, blanket toys, and some of the are dirty clothing from inside the house. Do not wash these items such as T-shirt, sweaters, blanket sheets put these items out on your porch. Keep your eyes open and animals have a great sense of smell change outside items every couple of days this works great for cats and dogs. This work for me. prayers if it rains, change outside items daily do not wash the items you put out on your porch. Prayers beautiful doggie. I will keep my eyes out prayers.

By now, you should have the area flooded with flyers. At least 2-300 in a 3-5 mi radius. Not everyone has social media Make sure you post on: nextdoor, ring doorbell, lost and found pets, pawboost, petcolove, petfbi, any state, city, and county sites. Let the police, vets, and animal shelters know your dog is missing. If your dog is chipped, let the chip company know also. your put something with your scent on it (pillowcase or shirt work great) If you have another dog, take it out for a walk and let it lead you.It may be able to pick the missing dog's scent up. Dogs normally make a circle to come back to where they go missing from within 24-48 hours. The bigger the dog, the bigger the circle. If yours does not, YOUR Next Step needs to be getting flyers up! There is a free site where you can make colorful flyers called postermywall.com. Almost every dog I have recovered has been because of flyers, not social media •DO NOT CALL YOUR DOG WHEN LOOKING FOR THEM. IT WILL MAKE THEM RUN! •Check cemeteries, schools, golf courses, parks, and cul-de-sacs. Dogs like these because they are quiet. •Make sure that you don't post sightings on social media. You don't want well-meaning people running out to help as he/she will be scared and may run, which could put them in danger. • Posting a reward can also bring out people who only want the money and if they chase the dog, it could also end up running out of fear and into danger. •Do not go to where he/she was seen and call out for him/her as that could scare them and push them out of the area or into danger! You want him/her to settle down and stay in one area so he/she can be trapped, if necessary. Instead take some stinky food and place in a safe place, if you have a camera put it in front the food - to see if he/she comes to eat it. ** If you (THE OWNER) see your dog, do not call out to them or make eye contact- Sit on the ground. Always have some stinky food with you(Hot dogs, rotisserie chicken, or a small bag of Cheetos), to help lure them to you. Do not say anything or make quick moves. Your dog needs to see you, hear you, and smell you - before he/she can process who you are and come to you!!! Once they approach, quietly say a phrase they would be familiar with. If they walk away, stay put for a few minutes. They may be trying to get your scent. If they leave DO NOT CHASE them. If someone calls and says they have your dog, ask them to take a picture. If they say they saw your dog, ask them a trick question like, " oh, does he still have his orange collar on?" If you feel it's legit, ask " what were they doing- running, walking, etc. And which direction did they go in.

There was a dog who looked Exactly like this one, who came in as a stray to the Kent County Animal Shelter in May. He was held on a stray hold for a while, then was adopted out the very beginning of June.
