Profiling this situation I can already tell you this is most likely a finder's keeper situation. Mesa drive in University has a demographic that is strongly known for finding and keeping. It's a low income neighborhood and unfortunately in higher crime neighborhoods individuals tend to think if it's free it's for me. Finders keepers losers weepers. There are also some other factors involved in the demographic in that neighborhood. I believe somebody took your dog in and they're keeping it. They will not return it simply because you're posting or putting up flyers. You have to have a reward.

Matt Sanchez hopefully you have found your dog by now but if not there's a couple things to consider. ANYTHING SMALL WHITE AND FLUFFY IS AT HIGH RISK FOR THEFT OR BEING FOUND AND KEPT! These dogs need a reward on them from the jump. Owners that wait off and don't get them back. Often times these little guys are very skittish runners and hard for people to catch. Or they are cute so people pick them up and decide to keep them. They all look alike so people can't tell them apart once they start showing up on Lost pet websites... Reward with the amount and major intersection and City should be the first thing in every post. Crop your photo so there's no pavement sidewalk carpet walls other dogs other people etc in the photo. Cut everything off up to the dog so your dog fills up the whole picture making it as big as possible when you post. Nice people look for free other people need inspiration. Just like with marketing you want an attention grabbing headline. The reward is your attention grabbing headline. People don't pay attention to the word reward only you have to put the amount. Neighbors by ring and next door are the very top methods to find pets. You don't need a ring camera to get the neighbors by Ring app it's different from The Ring app. The reason these work so well is they blast the immediate vicinity which is where the people most likely to see your dog are at. Your post goes live in seconds. People can pull over pull up your post and respond immediately if they see your dog they don't have to drive back to a flyer after they get off work. Something that owners don't do that's extremely important is comment on your post two or three times as soon as it goes live. Then other people get notifications to look at your post. You want all eyes on your post on your dog. Post three times a day to reach different audiences. Breakfast lunch and bedtime are high traffic times of the day. Marketing and promotions are super important to get the word out heavily to a one to two mile radius. You do that by frequent posting frequent commenting having the reward with the location. After several days a finder keeper will not give up the dog even if they see the reward. But maybe the neighbors will come forward and let you know who has your dog.
