1 out of 3 Dogs will get lost in their life time.

Did he escape under the fence? Did he get through an open gate? Did he escape through an open front door? Did he jump over the fence in  the backyard? The answer to these questions won't matter when your pet is lost and you don't know which way he went. A dog that simply slipped out an open front door is more likely to be sniffing trees at your neighbor's , than a frustrated dog that chewed through his leash to set himself free.   In most lost dog cases dogs are found just down the street, or within a mile of their home. But if  time has past since escaping, they do travel for many miles before being found , and can travel for hours before deciding to take a rest. Even if your dog only made it a few blocks away on foot. Sometimes the person who found your cute friendly pup, might be on his way home from work and take the dog a few miles farther from your neighborhood on his way home. Hopefully your Pet has a an ID Tag to get him  safely back to you .

Statistics show that less than 20% 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, 80% 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.  

Unfortunately all lost Pets don't  end up at one of the local Humane shelters, or Animal Control locations; and if your pet does end up at one of these organizations, they can't 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 a Terrier  they found, lost dog owners often don’t know to search for local Clubs or  rescue / shelter groups when searching for their lost dog.
ID tags and  posters for your dog increases the chances of his return by over 80 %. 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 " REWARD LOST DOG", a picture or clip art of your dog – or his breed, a color description, and a phone number.
