Blue reflective dog harness with paw print
Description
I found a blue reflective dog harness this afternoon around 1:45pm in the parking lot behind Harbor Park on Lake Road in Ashtabula. It’s a medium nylon harness, bright blue with lime-green trim, and there’s a tiny paw-print embroidery on the chest strap. A small silver tag hangs from the D-ring, engraved with the name 'Rex'—you can just barely make it out up close. There’s a light scuff on the buckle area and a tiny snag on the leash loop, but otherwise it looks sturdy. I grabbed it because I figured someone might be worrying about their pup; I’d love to help get it back. If this is yours, message me on the app and we can meet up near the gazebo at Harbor Park this weekend.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
