How to Make Lost Dog Flyers

Losing a dog can be an awful experience for you and your pet. Your dog may be out in the elements, scared and without adequate food. If a drive and search has not been fruitful, making a flyer is the next best thing. A flyer alerts people in the community that there is a lost dog in the area. It informs people that your dog is not a stray and gives them contact information if they see your dog. Making copies of that flyer and posting them in several locations in the community increases the probability that you will find your dog.
