Today serves as a reminder of the many dogs that go missing each year and the importance of reuniting them with their families. Lost dogs are often closer than you think, and with community support, many can find their way home.

If you find a lost dog, check for identification, alert local shelters, and use neighborhood resources to help spread the word. Microchips and ID tags are lifesaving tools that increase the chances of a happy reunion.

Take a moment today to ensure your pet’s information is up to date and to help a lost dog get back where they belong—home.
