Hi there are some very important things that owners do / don't do that make or break them finding their pet oftentimes. 1. Absolutely put the major intersection and city in the first sentence of your post something like Missing from... 2. Depending on your area if it's high risk for coyotes or pet theft put a reward in the second sentence with the amount. Nobody pays attention to the word reward only. The reward is to inspire people that don't really care about a lost dog to pay attention to or to motivate people to pay a little more attention and go the extra mile to help you get your dog back. 3. The first place owners should post is on Nextdoor and then the neighbors by ring app. These are like a mini Amber alert that go out to your immediate vicinity. Considering most dogs are within a mile of home if the owner acts quickly that reaches many people in your immediate radius. Next door reaches 2- 4 MI Neighbors by ring reaches approximately 8 miles around you North South East and west. 4. Also extremely vital! Never just post and move on! Sometimes when owners do this their post dies. Zero comments. Crickets. You don't want that. Comment on your post a few times after it goes live to kick it off stir the pot what have you so that other people start getting notifications and come and see what all the to do is about. Be sure to like their comments. You don't have to respond with a comment to all of them but it's very important to engage with people in the comment section. 5. Do not put your phone number on your post or in the comments on neighbors by ring if you can help it. The scammers will call you like crazy. Babysit your comments heavily. Every 15 to 20 minutes I would be checking and commenting. 6. Write your own ad do not go with what neighbors by ring offers as a generic one. Don't use a pet poster for your pets picture put an actual big picture of your pet so people can clearly see it when they scroll by. If you act quickly on these apps the first day there's a good chance you get your dog back in a couple hours or less. If you run to Paw boost, the shelter, and all the Facebook groups you are losing time you don't have. Focus on the apps for the first day or two. 9 out of 10 people that find a pet usually put them on one of the two apps. This is because they're already on them for other things. They're not on Lost pet websites they're not on last pet groups. I hope this helps. ~Found dogs only Maricopa County♥️ Volunteers feel free to copy and paste.
