Essential Steps to Find Your Lost Dog
5
1.
Immediately put out food, water and your dog's bed
...or an article of clothing at the location where your dog was last seen. There is a good chance that your dog may return.
2.
Get the word out by using flyers and signs (like yard sale signs) with a picture of your dog and your phone number.
Check your phone often! Go door-to-door with your flyers in the neighborhood where your dog was last seen.
3.
Contact your local animal shelters and animal control facilities, vet clinics and police departments to report your dog missing.
Fax or email them a photo of your dog and your contact information. Contact the microchip company and report your dog as lost.
4.
Instruct everyone that is helping you to NOT call or chase your dog.
This will prolong your search. If they see your dog, tell them to sit or lay down (no eye contact) and gently toss out tasty treats to lure your dog in.
5.
Post your dog on PetFBI.org
...and Nextdoor, Craigslist, and on your local lost and found Facebook groups.
