Medium black-and-white dog with blue collar
Description
I lost my dog yesterday around 3pm near the Dimond Center mall on Dimond Boulevard in Anchorage. He's a medium-sized black-and-white mixed breed, about 40 pounds, with a distinctive white blaze down his face and a bright blue collar. There's a small scar on his right hind leg and a tiny chew mark on his left ear. He wears a red bone-shaped tag that says 'Scout' and has a squeaky toy attached to the collar. He’s really friendly but tends to slip a bit when excited, so I’ve been worried since yesterday afternoon. If anyone found him, please message me here so we can arrange a meetup; this dog means the world to me.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
