Border collie mix with blue collar and white chest
Description
I lost my dog Nova yesterday around 5pm. She's a medium-sized border collie mix, about 40 pounds, with a brown and white coat and a distinctive white blaze on her chest. She was wearing a blue collar with a yellow ID tag. She has a small scar on her right hind leg from a past scrape, and she tends to wag her tail in a figure-eight when she's happy. I last saw her near the Copper King Hotel on Harrison Avenue, near the old courthouse, and she might have wandered toward Uptown Butte chasing a scent. Nova is microchipped, and she means the world to me—she's been my constant companion since she was a puppy. If anyone sees her, please text me right away.

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.
