Description
I found a dog this afternoon around 3:15pm wandering near Toomer's Corner by College Street in Auburn. It's a tan terrier mix, about 40 pounds, with a bright blue collar and a small bone-shaped tag that's a bit worn. It has a white chest and a distinctive black spot on its left ear, and it responds when I call its name on the tag. He seemed friendly and well-fed, and I didn't see any other people or signs he belonged to a specific home. If the owner recognizes him or you know who he belongs to, please reach out; I want to help reunite this good boy with his family.

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.
