A MUCH NEEDED REPEATED NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A LOST PET, PLEASE KNOW THAT . . . the biggest scams out there are pet recovery scams. They claim they have found your lost pet post and tell you they have your pet but need money to get gas to get to you, or that they need a payment first for any number of reasons. They may also request a code being sent to confirm who you are. **DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY!** **DO NOT SEND ANY CODES!** More than likely the people that found your dog or cat aren't even in Pennsylvania. They scour the internet for lost pets and work off desperation to find a missing beloved family member. There should be no fees involved in pet recoveries. This group wasn't put in place for people to make money off of the trauma of others, but to be supportive volunteers willing to lend a hand. If you see a comment on a post made by what appears to be a pet recovery scammer, please report to the Admins.

Ask someone if they have a drone (possibly heat/thermal for night vision) to have them use it to find your dog and if your dog fits the description ask if you can view their video tapes to see if it's her. Post in newspaper bc not everyone has internet or facebook, ask if you can air on your local news channel, ask your neighbors if they can check security cameras to see if she's on the recording to see where she headed last. Put fliers on the 2 back windows of your vehicle. Contact the police and file a lost dog report. Put up fliers on all poles, post offices, vet offices, stores, gyms, anywhere you can think of and in mailboxes in the area. Go door to door to let people know the dog is missing. Go in person to local shelters and do not rely on phone calls because they are busy and might not check. Put out some of your worn unwashed clothing and a bed or blanket he sleeps on so he can track the scent. Let the area mailman know to keep an eye out for him. Go out at night with the flashlight calling his name and shaking food or treats. If he is microchipped contact the company immediately to be sure your contact information is up to date. They may also help with creating fliers, etc. Go in person to local vets and groomers to inquire if someone may have brought her in.

🐾My dog is lost, now what?🐾 If your dog becomes lost, the best return on your investment is to ✅Get large, attention grabbing signage ( that’s easy to read from a car) hung everwhere in the area as quickly as possible. If you have the money to do so, get a sign store to print dozens of lost dog yard signs that have a large pic of your dog and your phone number in gigantic print. Get these up everywhere-at every intersection in the area. If you aren’t getting sightings, expand your signage further out. If your dog is elderly or impaired, use your money to pay some neighbors to assist you in an exhaustive search of the area, paying particular attention to inside of thick brush and near water sources. This is an absolute must and should not be delayed. Do not have strangers walking around yelling for your dog. ✅Post in the Nextdoor and Neighbors apps as well as every local Facebook group you can find-and always include your phone number. Beware scammers may call too. Signage and social media posts are critical to getting sightings of your lost dog. Don’t underestimate either! ✅Notify your local police. ✅File lost reports with your local shelters. ✅Notify your microchip company that your dog is lost. ✅Post on social media asking for referrals for a reputable local lost dog tracker/trapper. ✅Join local lost pet groups on facebook and post. ✅✅✅ 🚁 Contact a local thermal drone pilot and discuss whether it’s advisable to engage a thermal drone into the search. Do this EARLY! Their service is often successful and the nominal fee is worth it in my opinion. ⛔️ If you decide to hire a K9 tracker, research them for yourself rather than trusting random recommendations. What is their actual success rate? Did they actually find your dog or did just “confirm” the sightings that the owner was already aware of? Look at their website and Facebook success stories. Read through the lines. Was their service actually helpful or was the dog found because of the exhaustive work the local volunteer tracker put in based on sightings and their years of knowledge? How soon can they come? Do they pay people referral fees for recommending them? Some do and that’s unethical in my opinion. Some companies have zero confidence in their own K9 trackers yet they’ll send them out to you because there’s money to be had. (I have proof of this!) What is the cost? There is a drastic difference in what some of the K9 trackers charge. Could that money be better spent by getting more and better signage up so people spotting your dog know who to call? Is there a K9 tracker that also traps in your area? Could your local volunteer trapper do more if they were assisted with the food and fuel costs necessary to help get your dog home? Many of us work days to months spending our own money actually reuniting your lost dog based on sightings after a K9 tracker was paid sometimes thousands of dollars for often questionable tracking. Ask yourself these questions before blindly spending money on a service that may or may not yield worthwhile results. I am not discounting the use of K9 trackers. I am simply encouraging everyone to be thoughtful about how their money is spent and carefully research who you hire if you decide to go that route.
