How to Make Free Flyers for a Lost Dog

Losing your dog can be an upsetting experience. Also, living in a busy neighborhood makes the search more challenging, as there are many houses, streets and people to distract the dog. However, you can put up flyers to try and attract the attention of somebody who has seen or found your dog. The most cost-effective way of achieving this is by making flyers yourself and printing them from your computer for free.

      Grab the attention of passers-by by using large letters in bold capitals and snappy words. You can also include an offer of a reward to provide an incentive for your dog to be returned. Also, write "CALL ASAP" next to your contact details to add a sense of urgency.

      Save the flyer and print it. If you already have a printer, use it to complete this step. Alternatively, save the flyer on a USB key, or email it to yourself or a friend. Then, use their printer to make copies of the flyer. Use the back of used paper to print on to avoid having to buy more.
