We would like to thank Sarah and Allan for putting together this series (Click here for Part I and Part II). We hope that this information will be able to help others who may find themselves in a similar situation with a missing dog. For our final post in the series, we are sharing bonus tips that Sarah and Allan have provided to all of our readers.

Bonus Tips:

• Carry a photo of the dog and ask everyone in the area if they’ve seen it.
• Talk to the valets! They are outside all day and if your dog walks by, they’ll see it.
• Create a mass text message for everyone involved in the search party. This will insure that everyone has the latest info and help everyone to stay fanned out.
• Create a line of searchers stationed at every other block and walk as a unit down every street, looking up and down each avenue all at the same time.
• Leave an article of your used clothing at the door of your building in case your dog does find its way back to your building by scenting.
• Extensively search any area of town that your dog is familiar with.
• Don’t just look up and down the streets, look next to buildings, around bushes, air conditioner units, parking decks, or anywhere else the animal could take shelter.
