If you have not done so already: • File reports online with several area animal shelters in a wider area (ask how often the report needs to be renewed). If you do not check often and the pet has been at the shelter for more than 10 days, they could find anew home for the pet (varies by location). •Check strays and found pets section on animal shelter websites and Facebook pages daily. • Upload photos to Lost.PetcoLove.org for facial recognition software to help match it to photos of found pets • Make a post on NextDoor & Neighbors by Ring (free neighborhood apps), and • If the pet is a microchipped, check that your contact info is up to date and file a lost pet report with the microchip company. • Post flyers around the area since some people are not on social media (large posters work even better), notify delivery drivers/postal workers who are in the area frequently and ask neighbors to check their Ring cameras and security cameras footage. ⚠️Beware that some scammers may try to contact you pretending to be pet finders or pretending to have found your pet and may ask you to contact them on other social media. There are some legitimate pet finders, though. Feel free to ask if you’re not sure if they are legitimate. Prayers for a fast reunion!

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS!!! They will claim to have found him and tell you to TEXT. They will recommend a dog tracker/rescuer and tell you to use INSTAGRAM. Don't do either, they will steal your information!!

I'm so very Maxi is missing. Praying he's safe and home REAL SOON 🙏 ❤️ Put out his water and food bowls with strong smelling food. Put out your dirty laundry for a scent, blanket, shirt etc. Walk when looking for him to leave a scent trail, Walk big circles around your home several times for a scent. He can smell you far away. Contact a dog tracker if need be. Check cameras in the area. Put flyers up, give one to your mail carrier, post one at your local convenience store, bring one to the shelter when you go to look for him. Check shelter & animal control sites. He might have been picked up.
