My Pit Bull ran away yesterday where do I start, what do I do?

Question

He's 2 years old. We've only had him for 4 months. My father in law was about to take him outside, he made a loud sound like he was in pain and tried to bite him. My father in law didn't want to get bit so he backed up. Then dog has been gone all night. So far 11 hours. I drove up and down the neighborhood last night and this morning. No sign of him. What do I do?

Answer 1

Get a picture and a bio... name, age, color, breed, etc., and send it to all the shelters and adoption facilities within 30 miles. I would also send the info to all the vets that you can find. You never know where he could be. And someone could have found him and taken him into a vet.



If you have a microchip in him, call the company and inform them that he's run away and when it happened.



Post flyers around the area and surrounding neighborhoods. Make sure that it's okay with the local grocery stores and see if they'll let you put a flyer in their window. I would do this for all the stores that would let me put up signs... they're usually really good about wanting to help.



That's all I can think of, sorry I can't be of any more help. I really hope that you can find your dog.

Answer 2

You should notify the pound that if a dog matching his discription comes in to call you. Place signs around the neighborhood, ask neighbors if they have seen him. I hate to say it but check the sides of the roads in case he was hit. My dogs have run away on me a few times and I always drive around the neighbor hood calling them and my stomach always sinks when I think about checking the ditches. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

First, go to the local animal shelter. Let them know you lost him and leave your number. Go today because some shelters will immediately put down aggressive breeds.



Then you should put up signs all around your neighborhood and continue to drive around searching and calling for him.

Answer 4

post signs all around your house. thats how i found my brothers dog twice when he got out and got lost. and both times he was brought back due to the helpful signs. and try to give it a couple of days, one time it took almost a week. but still while you are waiting do call your pound just to make sure it isnt there either. good luck and dont give up.

Answer 5

I would post sign in your neighborhood. The post ad on Craigslist.com

and call you local pound to see if they pick up your dogs yesterday.
