What are the best ways to prevent losing your puppy?
Have your puppy microchipped
Have a collar with an ID tag when out or if they are a flight risk
Ensure your puppy is contained securely
Situational awareness is important!
Have your puppy on leash when needed
GPS collars are great!

What to do if you lose your puppy?
Time is of the essence
In most cases, they will show up in 5-10 minutes
In these cases, gently pick up your puppy, bring them inside, and evaluate what went wrong
Contact shelters/animal control
Contact veterinarian clinics
Post on websites like Craigslist and on social media
Make sure your posts/information given to shelters/vets includes your puppy’s personality, name, markings, if you should approach or if you should call if seen, etc.
