Description
Hey there, I found a dog this afternoon around 4:15pm wandering near the Publix on Oakland Park Blvd in Oakland Park. It's a medium-sized brown Labrador mix, about 50 pounds, with a bright blue reflective collar and a bone-shaped ID tag that says 'Rex'. The fur is a bit muddy from the rain, and there's a tiny white heart-shaped patch on his chest. He seems friendly, responsive to his name, and he doesn't have a microchip in my quick scan. I'm hoping to reunite him with his person; please reach out if this is yours, I can bring him to a safe spot while we figure things out.

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.
