-Your dog is likely within 1 mile of where they were lost! Often closer! This is true even if they’ve only been at that location for a few hours. UNLESS they are chased!

-When a dog is scared, they go into flight mode. Their survival instinct is to run from then hide close BUT if they’re chased or called they panic causing them to bolt blindly, get lost further, or run into danger.

-If you spot them do not run to them, chase or call. Sit down immediately. Dont make eye contact. Let them come to you. If you have treats toss them away from you then slowly toss them closer.

- Lastly, watch for scammers- people use this time to prey on the vulnerable and desperate people searching for their dogs.  They get your number from flyers then text you saying they found the dog and ask for money. Don't fall for it.

Steps

# 5 Post Flyer to:

Make the Flyer

You drive while someone else searches on foot. spreading your scent too widely can confuse your dog as they try to follow it home. While searching Ask neighbors, friendly dogs are often taken in. 

You drive, they walk 

Scent Trail

Walk from the escape point out into the neighborhood to create a direct scent trail for them to track back to your home. Do not yell their name, and do not call out to them. Screaming their name can amplify their panic and cause them to flee further away. Walk quietly, look in hidden gaps (under decks, inside thick bushes, behind outbuildings), and speak in a calm, casual voice.

Make a Scent Trail

# 6 Report Lost to:

Identify the spot where they were last seen or escaped. Prop open a fence gate or home door if safe. Place an unwashed piece of your clothing, their bed, and wet food right at that spot. This sets up a "home base" scent trail that can pull them back once their initial panic subsides.

Where to Hang Them:
-Major Intersections: Hang them at busy traffic lights, main crossroads, and neighborhood exits within a 2-mile radius.
-High Traffic: Target areas where commuters, mail carriers, and delivery drivers will see them. Avoid quiet side streets.                                                                        How to Post Them:
-Eye Level: Secure posters to utility poles or stop sign posts directly at a driver’s eye line.
-Heavy Tape: Wrap clear packing tape completely around both the pole and the poster so wind can't tear it down.

Physically visit the kennels at your county and municipal shelters every day or two. Research shows that only a tiny fraction of owners find their dogs by simply calling a shelter. Because busy shelter intake workers frequently mislabel mixed breeds or coat colors, you must walk the building and lay eyes on the dogs yoursel
