Finding my dog

[walterporter]

Hey guys I was looking for something to help me track my dog and I found these guys www.thetileapp.com and www/thetintag.com - did any of you use these kind of trackers .. do you know if they work ?

Hmmm, one (tin tag) does not actually exist yet, but they both look interesting ...

I don't know anything about those, but in my search for my beagle, missing over 2 years, I have picked up a lot of tips. Post your dog on ALL the lost/found pages and groups you can find on facebook, as well as on all the craigslist sights within many, many miles of you. A well-meaning person may have picked your dog up and taken her home, or dropped her off at their local shelter, possibly 50+ miles from you. Check every shelter you can IN PERSON. Some shelter workers have no idea of their breeds and may call a Maltese a Poodle, or a hound a retriever, or something else ridiculous. Then call all the ones too far for you to check, for at least a 50 mile radius from where your dog went missing. Send them a flyer with pictures of your dog. Also call all the vet offices for miles and miles around. Make up fliers, and if your dog has been missing for a month or more, make him/her a facebook page. You may offer a reward, but doing so, especially if you post an amount, can make people try to scam you. If a company calls you saying they can find your pet, especially if they have a heavy accent, hang up. They will probably call back 3 or more times from different phone numbers. It is a scam! And don't lose hope. Dogs can be found years after they go missing, especially if they were microchipped. Good luck!
