************* **************** *** SENIOR DOGS: Older dogs tend to seek water sources (ponds, lakes, creeks), walk downhill (and can't walk back uphill), get stuck in ravines/ditches/underbrush, and walk along fence lines. Walk down any hills, ravines, and embankments to ensure your dog has not fallen or walked down and is unable to get back up. Thoroughly check all of these areas. ** ************** **************** YOUR DOG'S SCENT ITEMS, PET TRACKER: In case you may need to contact a pet tracker to help search, take any items that have the doggie's scent (dog's fur under beds, toys, etc.) and place in separate zip lock bags and put into the freezer. BALYNDA BROWN lives in Raleigh and has a tracking dog, Bravo, who is excellent. She is on Facebook. Please call and text her asap for a game plan 919-418-7953. She can also consult with you at no charge. Access the link below to complete info about your lost pet so Balynda will have background info. https://www.facebook.com/k9bravo/ ERIN EATON is also a wonderful resource! https://www.facebook.com/k9soncall?mibextid=kFJD DO NOT CHASE! These tips in the video link below are extremely helpful. When dogs are lost, they go into panic/survival mode and many times don't even recognize their owners.

Signs are extremely important to get the word out. FACEBOOK COMMUNITY PAGE: Consider setting up a FB Community page for your furbaby. You can specify certain zip codes to which you can run ads. FB users in those zip codes will see the ads. The ads don't cost very much. FOR MICROCHIPPED DOGS: Please contact the microchip company and make sure your contact info is current and report your pet as missing.

Try hanging on wash clothing with your scent on them up high and all sides of the property so all roads will lead home.
