Please post contact information in thread or in you profile noting it is available. To my knowledge that has not been an issue for folks on this board.

If needed email photo to eyesmellratz@yahoo.com, she will post for you here.

Check shelters daily, personally visiting all holding areas.

This is another excellent resource: BrazosLostAndFoundPets@gmail.com
She has good connections between multiple networks. Her facebook page ishttp://www.facebook.com/BrazosLostAndFoundPets

Contact microchip registry and make certain they have current contact info and notify them pet is on the loose.

Watch this thread for updates from others. There are some folks who will post and not call or email.

Suggest putting a sign in front of house and where pet was last seen right away with a photo of dog and contact information.

This is another heighten awareness tactic, Intersection Alerts, http://www.missingpetpartnership.org/recovery-tips/intersection-alerts/

Also, when checking Craigslist Check at least 7 sections on CRAIGSLIST!
People will post about pets on several of the Craigslist sections. Oftentimes it is because someone finds a pet and after a few days, weeks, or even months decides they cannot find the owner and cannot keep the pet. They will give them away for free or sell them. Sometimes people try to breed them. Check these sections on Craigslist regularly:
Community: Lost and Found, Pets, General
For Sale: Free, General
Services: Pet
Check areas surrounding College Station too, such as Houston, deep east TX. Found pets offered for sale or free in all of these sections!! Be aware that people also will not necessarily state that the pet is found, so keep your search broad.

Be aggressive. The harder you work, the luckier you are.

Already looked up one of your previous posts momlaw and running through the list...

Bella home!

Go FB! She only made it a block but because of lack of tags, guy tried the vet, chip didn't show up but he saw my FB post on Brazos Lost and Found Pets. Guess I need to have the chip fixed...

Second dog lost in this neighborhood this week. Glad this one made it back.

So glad Bella's home!

Fleen - most likely there is nothing wrong with the chip - there are some vets in town whose scanners only scan certain models of chips. (Not Good!!!) Everyone needs a "universal scanner" that can read any type of chip.

Also chips can migrate so the person scanning needs to scan all over the animals just to make sure it hasn't moved to another area of the body.

Glad you got your dog back!!
