Black and white border collie mix with red collar
Description
I’m posting because I lost my dog yesterday around 6:15pm near the Old Mill District along Deschutes Ave. He’s a medium-sized black and white border collie mix, about 45 pounds, with a bright red collar and a blue glow-in-the-dark tag. He also has a tiny white tuft on his left ear. He’s microchipped and generally friendly, but can be shy around strangers and might bolt toward other dogs. Last seen with a squeaky rubber toy in his mouth near the river trail by the Old Mill. This dog means the world to me and I’m really hoping he’s found soon; there’s a gentle reward if he’s returned safely.

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.
