Important. Put out piles of carers worn clothes near sightings in a sheltered spot where last seen. Advice from Victoria Lost Pets Register. You can message them on FB to list *search with fragrant hot food · Leave out some unwashed clothes or the dogs bedding, hang it on the clothesline so that the scent will travel in the breeze and hopefully smell their way home. *Door knock the area your dog went missing from. ( Put a poster on your front fence even if it is a hand written one with your mobile number on it in case someone comes door knocking while you are out looking.) · Is there a vacant house in the neighbourhood where they may have been popped in the yard to keep them safe, but nobody would realise that they are there? * · If your dog has potential to get onto farm land, contact farmers ASAP with your phone number so they contact you if they see them rather than exercising their rights · If your dog is a small pup, then please check hidey holes, especially under recliners, in bushes, pools and ponds, make sure they aren’t shut in cupboards or curled up unaware under a bed or in a box or basket. · If your dog is elderly, there is always a chance that they can have a degree of dementia and can get themselves stuck in corners, behind bushes, curtains and furniture, they can also wander off and not remember where they are. · Check with local and surrounding councils, leave your details and fill out a missing report, leave a flyer with a photo with them if possible, have a look in person as a description over the phone isn't always guarenteed. * If your dog is long haired, it can get caught on fences and in bushes, so check those places thoroughly. (Leave a microchip number with them in case something isn't working and they can't bring up details, anywhere they are likely to be scanned) · Check with the Lost Dogs Home, RSPCA, Rescues, Shelters and other pounds, if you are not sure of your areas pound council would be able to advise you on this. · Leave your details with vet clinics as someone may bring your dog in for a microchip scan or injured. · Put an ad on Gumtree in the “Lost and found pets” section as not everyone is on Facebook, also keep an eye on their ads · Put an ad in your local newspaper, it can be done on the phone, in person or online via their website as not everyone is on Facebook, also keep an eye on their ads. · Put an ad on the radio, this can be done via the radio station website or a phone call. · Print out flyers, we are able to make you a flyer if you need one, and deliver them around the neighbourhood where your dog went missing from · Put up posters in local areas where your dog went missing from such as shopping centres and corner stores. · have your dogs microchip flagged as missing, or call the microchip register if the number shows no results. · Put a poster on your front fence as some people will walk a found dog around the area they find it in.
