TIPS TO HELP FIND YOUR LOST DOG:
if you haven't already,
Post on Pawboost, Nextdoor.com, Lostmydoggie and Craigslist ASAP... walk the neighborhood calling pets name, notify the shelter that he’s missing, post flyers in the neighborhood. If your dog is chipped call the company and report them missing.
- Put dog's bed, piece of your unwashed clothing & bowl of water (no food) in your front yard. Dogs can pick up the scents & find their way home.
- If applies call microchip company to report your dog lost & update your contact info.
-Smaller dogs tend to be rescued within a mile from their home.
