Description
I lost my beagle mix, Scout, yesterday around 6pm. He's about 22 pounds, tri-color with a white chest and a small notch in his left ear. He wears a bright blue collar with a round brass tag that says Scout, plus a tiny orange safety harness. I last saw him near the Pineapple Fountain in Waterfront Park along East Bay Street, Charleston. Scout is friendly and curious, but can be wary of bigger dogs if he feels cornered. He’s really part of the family and has sentimental value for us. If you spot him, text me or email me—any lead helps, and I’m hoping to bring Scout home soon.

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.
