What to do if you lose your puppy?
- Time is of the essence

- 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.

- Get involved with your community
