Description
I found a tan, medium-sized dog this afternoon around 4:15pm in the parking lot behind NewBo City Market on 1100 3rd St SE. It’s about 40 pounds with a short coat and a blue collar that has a silver tag reading Buddy 14. It has a small white heart-shaped patch on its chest and a tiny white spot on the left front paw. It’s super friendly, wagging its tail and listening when I called its name. I’m hoping to reunite it with its family soon—it seems well cared for and a bit anxious without its people. If this sounds like your dog, please get in touch.

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.
