Every dog deserves a loving home—and to feel safe, secure, and seen. Today, on National Lost Dog Awareness Day, we pause to recognize the importance of helping lost dogs find their way back to the families who love them.
At Four Paws Place, we believe in doing everything we can to keep tails wagging and hearts whole. Whether it’s raising awareness, promoting safety tips, or simply reminding pet parents to double-check those ID tags, we’re here to support the bond between you and your four-legged best friend.
Microchips & Tags: Small Tools, Big Impact
Make sure your pup has a collar with updated ID tags and a registered microchip. These small steps can make a life-changing difference if your dog ever gets lost.
Take a Current Photo of Your Pet
Having recent photos of your dog makes it much easier to create flyers or post online if needed. Snap a quick pic today—you’ll have a cute memory and a helpful tool just in case.
Secure That Backyard
Escape artists can be sneaky! Regularly check fences, gates, and screens to ensure your yard is safe and secure.
Follow Local Pet Recovery Groups
Social media and apps have become powerful tools for reuniting pets with their families. Join your local lost and found pet pages now—before you ever need them.
Support Your Local Shelters & Rescues
Many of the dogs that end up in shelters are simply lost and waiting to be found. Supporting rescues means supporting reunions—and second chances.
Celebrate the Dogs Who Made It Home
Today is also about hope. So many pups are reunited with their families thanks to kind-hearted strangers, smart tech, and a whole lot of love.
From the whole team at Four Paws Place, we’re sending love to all the pups who are still finding their way home—and the humans who never give up on them.
Let’s continue to spread awareness, take preventive steps, and be the reason a lost dog finds their way back.
