Answer 1

WHEN YOUR DOG IS LOST

1.Report to Police and Animal Control
2.Canvass and re-canvass the neighborhood.
3, Flyers are key
4. Enlist the aid of friends, co-workers, neighbors to search.
5.Call your breed club and rescue to help
6.Someone needs to remain at home to answer the phone.
7.Place an ad in the paper or papers
8.Scent markers (e.g., recently worn clothing) helps in the area where the
dog was last seen.
9.Pet detectives- see if any in your local area
10. Radio and tv ads
11.Community bulletin boards
12.Visit all the shelters personally
13.Call every ad for dog for sale or found dog in the paper fitting
description of your dog and go look at it 14.Network with all-breed
rescues
15.Renew your ad and don't let it lapse.
16.Plan a search strategy. Someone who found a dog suggested a radius of
up to 10 miles initially.
17.Post something on the internet in as many places as possible
18.call the Post Office so the postal employees on there route can keep
a look out for the dog and talk to your mailman personally.
19. Ask other people for ideas
20. Always offer a reward (big one) with a no questions asked policy
21. Put down "dog need medicine" on flyers/ads whether it does or not-
people may not want a "sick" dog
22. Describe the dog in detail and put up photos but make the dog older than
it really is
23. Call all county shelters in your state describing your dog
24. Put ads in papers that go statewide with photo if possible
25. Even put an ad in a paper that has a very visible profile like NY
Times, LA Times, USA Today, etc,
26. Contact kennels where the dog may be kept being hidden for a few
days while perp decides what to do
27. Contact groomers
28, Contact vet offices

Answer 2

Put flyers up and offer a reward.
My friend had flyers up for 10 days, she changed them to offer a reward and got her dog back within the hour!!! She asked the guy if he was going to keep her dog if there hadn't been a reward, and he shrugged it off like it was no big deal!! Can you believe that???
Go to local shelters everyday. Ask an attendant to check the sick animal ward and Quarantine. Bring a few copies of a good picture with you. There are lost and found books to put your information in and bulletin boards you can post on.
Good Luck and I hope you find her.


EDIT
A chip will do her no good if someone stole her, or knows she is yours (or isn't trying to find her owners) and isn't gonna give her back. They can tell the vet people (when they scan the chip) that you gave him the dog and call the microchip company and have the info changed to his. I worked at a vet clinic and had this happen.

Answer 3

You can hire a pet detective in some cities - people who know animal's habits or have a tracking dog who can find their scent, as long as it ran away recently.

Make sure to put up posters around town and at your local pet stores, veterinarians, and groomers - anywhere your dog may be taken if someone found her and kept her. Check with the local pound periodically in case she ends up there.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Put up posters with a quick description and a phone number, maybe a picture and put them up.

Call your local humane society and ask if they get any dogs in that fit your dogs description that they keep it and call you.

Also, inform your local vets. Some people may find her and bring her in as their own dog for shots or something.

Answer 5

Does she have a chip, because I know if they ever take your dog to the vet and she is scanned they will be arrested and you will get your dog back.

Answer 6

put up posters saying REWARD, if anyone does have her im sure they will give the dog back in return for some money. And try putting an ad in the newspaper.

Answer 7

Your can look at the animal shelters and see if they have pick her up...Give the shelter a description of your dog and your phone # in case they see her...And put up fliers around your neigborhood and local stores...And if you think someone has her,Keep your eyes open and watch your neighborhood and your neighbors

Answer 9

Answer 10
