Although we will always try to prevent this from happening, unfortunately we can never know what will happen in the future. Misunderstandings happen and accidents happen too, so that the dog can be lost at any moment or, even worse, be robbed. How do we have to deal with this situation?
It is very normal to feel nervous and not be able to think clearly. So I'm going to explain to you what to do if my dog is lost or stolen.
The first and most important thing to do as soon as we realize that the dog is nowhere is report your loss to the authorities such as the local police, the SEPRONA (Service for the Protection of Nature of the Civil Guard), the city council and the REIAC (Spanish Network for the Identification of Companion Animals. You must notify the veterinarian or veterinarians in the area and the neighbors.
The fastest way to find a dog will be having the microchip implanted beforehand, since being inside the animal's body it is not visible, so no one can remove it. Now, it is also very advisable to put a necklace with a badge that will have our phone number engraved on it.
Likewise, it will be very necessary to paste posters around the area where we saw the dog for the last time: parks, veterinary centers, shops, bus stops… Likewise, we will have to go looking for it in different places and at different times, since it can appear in any of them.
You have to try keep hope and be constant with the search. Today it is difficult for a dog to get lost without more if it has a microchip. Many times he ends up in an animal shelter, and other times he has been found by someone looking for his family through social networks.
Look for it, it is very possible that you will find it. Much encouragement.
