Instructions on How to Find Your Lost Pet – FAST!

Dear Dog Owner:
We are dedicated to helping people who have lost their dogs (and other pets too). After six years on the job, we decided it was time to share our expertise and experience by writing a book for dog owners.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Here are some questions for you…
Have you ever thought about what you would do if your dog or a friend’s or family member’s dog disappeared?
If you looked around the house and yard and neighborhood without success, what would you do next?
If you put up flyers and called the community pet shelters, and still there was no sign of your dog, what would you do next?
Do you know what your “high probability” tactics would be?
Do you know how best to mobilize help with your search?
Do you know the best ways to do fast, efficient searches in different types of containment areas?
Do you have a far-reaching plan that goes beyond your own neighborhood?
These are just a few of the questions that are answered in our book. There are hundreds more! But before we continue, you may be interested in reading about some of the common myths related to lost dogs…
Some Common Myths
Here are a few from the book…
Â
Â
Â
Â
My pet will come home – Some pets do come home, but cars, fences, busy streets and well-meaning rescuers get in their way, particularly in an urban as opposed to rural area. A study done by a veterinarian found that only 8 % of lost pets return home on their own.
My pet would never cross a busy street – Maybe not in their usual routine, but if they’re frightened by something or disoriented or excited, they might. In our experience, dogs frequently do cross busy streets!
My pet is micro-chipped; someone will contact me – A microchip is a great line of defense in protecting your pet, but it’s far from a guarantee. Just a few examples: People often don’t know about microchips, or they don’t have the time or resources to get to a vet or shelter to get the dog scanned, or they want to keep the dog.

Someone stole my pet – Yes, pets do get stolen, especially puppies and the small, popular breeds. However, most pets actually get away from home on their own and are rescued by someone who loves animals or wants a pet. (Be very careful about calling your pet “stolen”. This can be a disastrous error in a lost pet case, even if it was stolen.)
I have done everything possible to find my pet – Most pet owners start their search with the most common tactics: hanging flyers, checking shelters. But there is MUCH MORE that needs to be done. Also, there is an art to creating highly effective flyers and posters, and there is a science to contacting shelters, which all have very different policies.
 Here Are Some of the Valuable Things
You Will Learn In Our Book:
How to conduct an immediate F-A-S-T search, following the Nine Step Plan
How to create a search pattern for volunteers, according to what kind of area you’re searching in
How to focus on “witness development”, which means getting the word (and a photo) out to hundreds, or better yet, thousands of people.
Remember, your dog didn’t just disappear into thin air!
Chances are that MANY people saw your pet! Even more HEARD something or KNOW something.
Â
How to create posters and flyers and how to use them for the best possible results
How to create large, low budget, highly visible banners
How to best use lost ads, found ads and for sale ads, in print and online, and how to use the internet in other creative ways.
Create a “perimeter of posters” so that no one could drive into or out of your area without knowing your pet is missing.
Â
How and where to do a full-scale shelter check, how not to do a shelter check, and why you shouldn’t count on overworked shelter workers to find your pet.
In a small town, you are more likely to find your pet at a shelter than you are in metropolitan areas. Estimated percentage of dogs returned to owners from shelters, according to two studies: 35% versus 14%
Â
How to decide whether to offer a reward, how much, and how to do it. (The debate on offering a specific award amount is the topic of many “lost pet” websites.)
How to best use your personal networks to find your dog
When owners thought their pets were stolen, they had a much lower recovery rate. This was either due to the fact that the pet was actually stolen, or that the pet owner gave up because they thought the pet was stolen, even if it wasn’t.
Â
How to pool resources with other owners of lost pets and create special search parties
How to deal with calls and sightings
How to use DNA or fur analysis
When to consider using search dogs

 Case Examples
These are real examples of lost dog cases and what has worked or not worked. You’ll find plenty of case examples of what pet owners have done wrong or done right in their search. Here are some excerpts…
Some Case Examples
One dog was actually stuck under a bed in a guest room for seven days! He didn’t make any noise when he was called. He was finally found and he survived the ordeal. Moral of the story: Make a very thorough search of your home.
One frantic owner of a lost rat terrier talked with many people but didn’t leave her phone number. One person she had talked to sighted the dog shortly after their conversation, but he had no way to contact the person. Moral of the story: Give out your phone number and make sure to have an appropriate message on the phone if you’re not available to answer.
When dogs are found, it often turns out that they have changed hands multiple times. Sometimes it is as simple as the person who rescued the lost dog giving it to a friend to watch and the dog runs away. Other times the pet is actually sold or given to someone else.
A huge mistake that most pet owners make is running around after every single sighting. A missing Boston Terrier was found after 3 1/2 weeks in a different town, almost 10 miles away. Meanwhile, the owner had answered over 1,000 calls from people wanting to help, many of them having sighted Boston Terriers running loose.
TIP: Ask the person something that is FALSE about your dog. For example, ask if the dog has a white tail when you know your dog’s tail is solid black. You can use a few trick questions!
We worked a lost dog case in Los Angeles. The owner was convinced that the dog had been attacked by coyotes, despite the fact that the Search Dogs determined that the dog headed out toward a busy street. Nine months later the dog was found because of his microchip. He was healthy and in a shelter over 90 miles away.
What Does a Search Dog Do?
A Search Dog is trained to follow the trail of the scent given to them by their handler-the Pet Detective. The Search Dog picks up the freshest scent of the lost pet and tracks it. (The scent of the pet is left when it walks a certain way. The scent falls to the ground and stays there until the wind and air currents move the scent to nearby dirt or vegetation where it is held until it dissipates.)
Search Dogs do what dogs do naturally – they use their nose to find their quarry. There is never a 100% guarantee that Search Dogs will find a lost pet, but Pet Detectives give it their best effort. That being said, some pets that would not have been located with other methods are found with Search Dogs.

Dear Dog Owner:
If you have more questions about lost dogs, here are some samples from the long list of FAQs in the book. They are all questions that we have been asked by clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is cold, there are coyotes, and my dog has no food. How long can my dog survive?
Dogs are incredibly sturdy. They are survivors, and have strong instincts – even “couch potato” dogs!
Are dogs really stolen?
Yes, pet theft does happen. In the past it was not as common, but as small breed dogs become more popular it is happening more often. If you really suspect that your pet was stolen, please contact us for a Stolen Pet Guide, or you may want to consider hiring a Private Investigator.
What do you think about pet psychics?
We have worked cases where psychics were correct about what happened to the pet, and we’ve worked cases where they were completely wrong. You could choose to use the services of a psychic as one tool in your tool kit, but you should also conduct a complete search as advised in this guide.
Does my dog remember his name? Will my pet come when I call?
A pet will revert back to being more feral in order to survive. Do not count on your pet coming when called. Even the best trained pet will not always come when called. The interesting thing is that once they are back home they often act as if nothing ever happened!
My pet has a microchip. How come my pet has not been found? Isn’t the microchip like GPS?
A microchip is not GPS. In other words, just because your pet has a microchip, it does not mean that your pet can be located by satellite. A microchip is for identification purposes, but someone must use a compatible “wand” (usually available at veterinary clinics and shelters) to scan the pet and read the chip information. Then, they have to take that information and contact the microchip company and get your information. That’s why it’s so important to update your information with the microchip company!
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Search Dogs came out to look for my pet and the scent trail ended. What exactly does that mean?
This happens on many of the tracks the Search Dogs work. Very rarely do the Search Dogs walk up to the roaming pet. Dogs are rarely waiting for us to find them in a bush! The lost pet will walk to a specific location and by the time we get called, respond, and perform our search for the missing pet, the pet has already been picked up by a well meaning person. This happens to many of the pets we search for, especially small breed animals. Often the Search Dogs give you a Direction of Travel (DOT). You can then post your Lost Pet neon posters or banners near that area. About 60% of our clients find their pets this way.
My pet has ID tags on – why am I not receiving a call from someone?
The sad truth is that a person may want to keep your dog for themselves or possibly they are waiting for a reward to be posted. This is particularly true for cute small dog breeds. Also, some dogs that are usually friendly can be hard to catch when they are lost. This is where witness development can play a critical role in finding your pet. Another possibility: a collar can be removed or rubbed off, or pulled off, and you’d be surprised how often the information on the tag is not legible.

When Should You Call a Pet Detective?
Making a phone call to a Pet Detective can be helpful in making sure that you are conducting the right search for your pet – based on your location, your pet’s personality, how your pet escaped, your pet’s health, breed, size and past history.
Most Pet Detectives offer specialized services that may include trained Search Dogs. Others offer support, consultations and help with “pounding the pavement.”
Consulting a Pet Detective can be a confusing experience. Questions that arise are “Where do I find one? How much do they cost? Do they have search dogs? How To Hire A Pet Detective breaks it all down for you so that you can have your pet back FAST!
