Introduction

Statistics show that less than 16% of lost dogs are returned to their rightful owners. This number can be discouraging to lost dog owners but instead it should be a motivator for them to follow the experts' advice when searching for their lost dog. Most people rely on one or two methods to find their lost dog. As the statistics would show, 84% of the time it's not that easy. We recommend that you use each and every recommendation in this guide to aid you in finding your lost dog. Your dog can be found, and you have the ability to make it happen.


How Did He Get Out

Did he escape under the fence? Did he get through an open gate? Did he escape through an open front door? Did he chew through a leash in the backyard? Answering this question can give you guidance as to which direction to start looking, and also to understanding what mindset your dog was in when he left. A dog that simply slipped out an open front door is more likely to be sniffing flowers at the neighbor's than a frustrated dog that chewed through his leash to set himself free.


Search Supplies

Be sure you take a picture of your dog with you so that you can show the people you encounter what your dog looks like. If you don't have a picture of your dog, take a picture of a dog that looks similar to yours.


Where Do Lost Dogs Go?

In most lost dog cases dogs are found just down the street, or within a mile of their home. On occasion they do travel for many miles before being picked up, and can travel for hours before deciding to take a rest. Even if your dog only made it a few blocks away on foot, the person who found him, the "Finder", might be on his way home from work and take the dog a few miles farther from your neighborhood on his way home.


Local Organizations

In a perfect world all lost dogs would end up at one of the local SPCA, Humane Society, or Animal Control locations; and these organizations would be funded well enough that they could keep lost dogs indefinitely until their owners are located. Dog shelters, and especially breed-specific shelters, are one of the least obvious places for owners to look for their lost dogs, but these locations should not be ignored. Although someone who found a dog might search the Internet for ideas as to where to take Boxer they found, lost dog owners often don’t know to search for local Boxer rescue / shelter groups when searching for their lost dog.


"Lost Dog" Posters

Posting "Lost Dog" posters for your dog increases the chances of his return by over 200%. Someone in your neighborhood saw your dog, had your dog, or currently has your dog. Any tip you receive from your posters will be useful, and will give you an idea of where he might be. The only information you need on your post is the words "LOST DOG", a picture or clip art of your dog – or his breed, a color description, and a phone number.
