🐾If you haven't already (these are some suggestions, as you may have already done some of these and some suggestions may not pertain to your situation). Can you take to see if the dog has a chip. Any vet, emergency vet, or even some petco or petsmart (if there is a pet hospital there) and fire department might be able to scan (some have scanners). Have them to do a full body scan, as sometimes the chip may have moved. Please walk the neighborhood and see if he belongs to any of your neighbors. Remember not everyone is on social media. Let the postman also know, as he normally knows his folks on his route and may recognize the pup. Please also contact the shelters near you, that is one of the first places a family will go. WHAT TO DO The first place owners go, desperate to find their missing pets, is to the shelters to see if they have been picked up or turned in. Call the local shelters asap to let them know where the pet is and provide your contact information. The shelters will ask you if you want to hold the pet until the owners are found or if you want them to pick it up. You can safely notify the shelter and still hold on to the pet until owners come looking for it, if you want to. Owners may still be out of town! Not uncommon for neighbors & some pet sitters to loose dogs If you live at an Apt complex ask the office mgr to send an email to all tenants, it could be someone that lives there Please ask for proof of ownership. THANKS so much for helping!!🐾 Not everyone is on social media, the dog could belong to a senior. 🦮If dog is wearing rabies tag it can be tracked through the dog info by contacting the Vet or clinic info listed on the tags. Only the place that gave the dog the vaccination can access the owner info by entering the tag numbers on their system. They will then contact the owners directly. *If you find a dog wearing an Apple AirTag, use an iPhone or NFC-capable Android phone to scan it by tapping the top of your phone against the white side of the tag. A notification will appear with the owner's contact info if they marked it as "Lost," allowing you to call them immediately.
