[DsL] I'm so sorry about your missing fur babies! I've gone through this and was able to recover my little 10 lb puppy mill survivor after 6 days in zero degree temps, high winds, and freezing rain while visiting family out of state. I bred and showed dogs, and trained obedience for 30 years, but learned so much working with a lost dog rescue group, and my fur baby was finally live trapped. Since then, I've been trying to pay it forward by helping others recover their lost pets. Firstly, please don't respond to anyone soliciting pet tracking services. They are scammers! Please don't panic, and stay positive. Dogs are very resilient and resourceful, and most lost dogs do survive. I'd like to share some information to help you: Put some of your dogs' toys and bed, and some dirty laundry in the area where your dogs were last seen, so your dogs may be able to smell their way back and to keep them in the area. In order to get sightings, it is absolutely imperative to get LARGE neon posters up immediately. Don't put your dogs' names on them, and tell people not to chase or call your dogs. Even friendly dogs can become almost feral and very skittish when they're lost, and having your dogs' names on flyers and posters encourages people to call them. When they have strange people calling and chasing them, they go into a flight and survival mode and can run into dangerous situations, and run even farther from home. They may even run from you. This happened with my dog and it broke my heart. Put posters up in a 2-3 mile radius at every major intersection and exits from big shopping centers from where the dog was last seen. Check local ordinances about putting posters up on utility poles. Some don't allow them and may take them down without notifying you. You can purchase a dozen wooden 4 ft engineer stakes from a hardware store for about $25 and attach the posters to them and post them on private property with permission. Cover them in heavy cellophane or clear trash bags to protect them from the elements. Most lost dogs circle the area in which they were lost and are found within a 2-3 mi radius, but some can travel much farther, or be picked up and dumped elsewhere. Also, get flyers made and hand them out to everyone you see, including mail carriers and delivery drivers, and put them on car windshields in parking lots. You can make small hand-outs, four to a page. Many people don't know how to go online to look for lost dogs. I received about 100 calls from people who spotted my dog, responding just to posters and flyers ... far more than from online posts, but also post on other social media lost and found pet pages and your neighborhood social media site (Google these; some of these pages don't want them mentioned). Also, if someone has taken your fur babies in to keep or sell, others who know them will likely assume they obtained your dogs legally unless they see the flyers and signs. Be sure to check Craigslist and Facebook pages that place animals, too. Contact animal control, all the vets in your area, and all shelters. Do searches starting with gender only, because dog breeds are often incorrect. If you get sightings, set up additional scent stations surrounding the area in a wagon wheel formation to help draw your dogs back to a safe area with a water source. If your dogs have traveled outside of the original area where you have signs, move them to the new area and hand out more flyers. If you see your dogs, don't call them, but sit or even lie down on the ground with some dog treats and make yummy noises like you are eating and throw some treats around you. Don't make eye contact. Be patient and wait. If your dogs watch you, that is a good sign. If you have another dog and they are bonded, take the other dog with you. Your dogs may finally recognize you and your other dog, and come to you. Even then, be patient and stay down on the ground. Don't get up or lunge at your dogs. Please review this video to learn how to do this: https://youtu.be/cmiZzB643is If your dogs are being evasive, you may need to set a live trap. You need to have reliable sightings and know the area where your dogs are before this can be done, and receive permission from property owners. It is best that you get the help of a Lost Pet Rescue for this. Please let me know if you end up needing help with any of this. Please don't give up! 75% of lost pets are found, and the reason most of the others are not is because the families just stop looking. I hope this helps to get your fur babies home safe and sound. My heart goes out to you. ❤

General Information: Set up a scent station. Get a scent that the dog is familiar with out in front of the house (EX Worn clothing / shoes from a family member/owner that the dog lives with.) Hang it out high so that the smell can travel and guide the dog back home. Keep an access point open in case the dog returns. Please post signs with the dogs' picture and your contact information on the sign. Post these signs all over as if someone spots your dog the person can contact you and provide a location of where the dog is. (Not everyone is on Social Media). Ask your neighbors to check their doorbell or house cameras (if applicable), sheds and garage. Owners: Do not try and search for the dog - as your scent travels when you are out and walking all over can confuse the dog. The dog should only smell your scent near your home. Never underestimate the ability of a dog to find their way home using their nose. Call or go to the Animal Shelter in your area and tell them that your dog is missing to see if it has been picked up. Prayers your dog is found safely. Beware of scammers.
