Lost dog: tan lab mix near WKU campus
Description
I’m really worried—my dog is missing. I last saw her yesterday around 3pm near the WKU campus, around the Downing Student Union area on University Blvd. She’s a medium-sized tan Labrador mix, about 50 pounds, with a white patch on her chest and a small notch in her right ear. She wears a bright red collar with a gold name tag that says 'Rhea' and a blue reflective leash. She’s normally very friendly but can be skittish around other dogs, and she tends to pull a bit when excited. If you’ve seen her, please reach out. This dog means a lot to my family, especially my sister who helped train her; we’d really like to bring her home.

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.
