Instructions
Inform neighbors that your dog is lost.
Organize a search party. Travel on bikes, by foot, and by car and search the area.
File a lost dog report at all agencies and shelters in the surrounding area.
Go to local agencies and shelters at least once daily to check the new arrivals.
Make fliers that include the date of loss, name of dog, description, any unique markings, a picture and your phone number. Include a reward offer.
Put the fliers up around your neighborhood, at shopping centers, veterinarian clinics, pet shops and anywhere else, including your old neighborhood if you've recently moved.
Place lost dog ads in newspapers and check the Found Dogs section in your local paper. Most important, don't give up.
