It is sooo important to view the priority links I provided each day. Especially since dogs/cats taken to ACS and Shelters get adopted out after just a few days to individuals or rescues. If a rescue adopts the dog/cat, they will turn around and put it up for adoption. That's why it is important to spend as much time as possible looking for your baby. View the listed dogs/cats for adoption since one could be yours.

Most importantly, put up as many lost and found posts as you can since the finder will have no idea which one you posted on. It also happens a lot when your dog is right in your own neighborhood. Check with neighbors and make sure to have a nextdoor post up. Ask folks to share the post in the different communities around you. Signs in plastic protectors will definitely make a difference since some do not use social media.

Shelters and ACS are being forced to adopt out pets after the 3-5 day waiting period. Depends if your dog is chipped or not. Update your dog's microchip as lost right away! If you don't have the number, contact the facility that inserted it in your dog. Ask if they have extra services to help with your search. Post on as many sites as possible. If multiple dogs, post separately so their pic shows up better on searches. Keep record of your posts and respond to everyone so they contine to help and so your post stsys active. ☆☆☆Please dont expect folks to call or message you. Many will only leave found dogs and suggestions on your post. It is best to turn on notifications, reply right away since they may have a sighting and can't catch the dog, it needs medical attention, is nearing a deadline at the shelter/ACS, about to be adopted, rehomed, etc. There are many shelters and Rescues located in and around the San Antonio area. VIsit more than the one closest to your home. A dog can travel miles each day. Be sure to keep your post active by giving likes, respond to each comment/pic, post updates, etc. . . .in other words, show folks you are still searching for your baby so they will continue the search, too. Every little step you take can make a difference since dogs only have 3 - 5 days at shelters and some finders may unfortunately not follow State Law and rehome your pet right away. We all do our best to help but it's you that must search everyday for your baby. You know your dog better than anyone else. ❤️ Follow other lost dog posts that look similar to yours. It greatly improves the chances of you finding your babies. POPULAR RESCUES TO SEARCH Most Rescues list their adoptable dogs on one of the priority sites at the top of this message, but it is always a good idea to check the sites below. Dogs become adoptable after the 3-5 hold.....if State Requirements have been met.

Contact Local shelters and ACS to let them know your dog is missing. Some shelters may also allow you to post your missing pet on their site. Remember your dog can travel many miles a day, so it's important to check all of the different shelters... Not just the ones near you. Put up signs in plastic sheet protectors (opening at the bottom). Put in car windows, vets, groomers, pet stores, etc. Post Pics that show body markings so others can match to found dogs. If putting multiple pics, put the best pic at the upper left corner so it shows in searches. List cross streets, city, zip code, and date lost up in post . . . not in comments . . . they get skipped over. Those helping need this information so they have a starting point in the search. Put a cell number but be very careful of scammers. Never send money or a code to someone who says they have your dog, or threatens to hurt your dog. Not having a number means finders can't contact you if needed right away. Follow other lost dog posts that look similar to your dog...it greatly improves the chances of finding your baby. Since the finder/owner has no clue where you've posted, put up as many lost and found posts as possible. Keep your post active and seen by others by responding and updating everyone with what's happening. Make sure your notifications are turned on since many will simply leave information on your post and not message you.
