Some of the effective way to locate your missing dog is to organize a search.
Steps 1: Inform neighbors that your dog is lost.
Steps 2: Organize a search party. Travel on bikes, by foot, and by car and search the area.
Step 3: File a lost dog report at all agencies and shelters in the surrounding area.
Step 4: Go to local agencies and shelters at least once daily to check the new arrivals.
Step 5: 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.
Step 6: 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.
Step 7: Place lost dog ads in newspapers and check the Found Dogs section in your local paper. Most important, don't give up.
Extra Tips: To help prevent your dog from becoming lost in the first place, equip your dog with tags and a microchip. A microchip is a tiny identification chip injected under your dog's skin. It is read with a special scanner that all humane societies and agencies have. Update tags regularly. License your dog.
