Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Make a Lost Dog Poster?

Making a lost dog poster with PawBoost is simple. Report your lost dog and receive a free eye-catching and informative poster. Once you finish your poster, you can print them at home or go to a printing service to print off plenty to put up around your neighborhood and community.

What Information Should I Include?

It’s important to include plenty of relevant information about your lost dog on your flyer, but make sure only to include the necessary information. Going overboard with information can make the poster messy, and people might not read through everything.

Your poster should clearly state that your dog is lost or missing in large lettering. You should also have a very clear and recent photo of your dog, preferably in color. Beneath your picture, you should include information like your dog’s name, gender, identifying patterns or marks, breed, size and age. Also, say where your dog was last seen and what they respond to if called to. Finally, make sure to include the relevant contact information to reach you if your dog is found. If you wish, you can also include a reward amount.

Where Can I Put Lost Dog Flyers?

The best place to post lost dog flyers is on bulletin boards in high-traffic stores in your community. Ask the owners of your local groceries, coffee shops, veterinary offices and other stores if you can post your flyer on their bulletin. You can also go door-to-door in your neighborhood and hand them to your neighbors in person.

Can I Put Missing Dog Flyers in Mailboxes?

It is illegal to put missing dog flyers in U.S. mailboxes. It is also illegal to post flyers on city utility poles. Keep this in mind when distributing your flyers around your community.
