Adopters:

What to do if your adopted dog goes missing:

-Put out smelly food, blankets, crate, etc in the area lost and near home. These can help the dog recognize familiar scents and find their way back.

- Contact local animal controls, shelters, and animal hospitals.

-Contact non-emergency police line, county sheriff, and animal control in your area
-Submit form with the Retrievers: https://theretrievers.org/request-assistance/. They are experts and the sooner they get involved the better! There is another group called Lost K9 and they can be reached at 612-600-2647.

-Contact local neighbors to report any sightings. We recommend you do this via Next Door and any neighborhood and Community FB groups you are in, as well as just sharing in general on FB.

-Sightings are so important so going door to door with flyers and making lost dogs signs will help in your search. We usually do not start making signs until the dog is missing a full day, but going door to door in the area lost can start right away. 

Coco's Heart can help spread the word on social media to help gain sightings and recruit volunteers. These posts will have the adopter or lost dog case managers information so sightings and offers to help will go directly to you/them and not through Coco's Heart.
