Found tan retriever mix dog with green collar
Description
I found a medium-sized tan retriever mix this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Walmart on Main Street in Clovis. It's got a bright green collar with a small brass bell, and a little white patch on its left front paw. One ear flops while the other stands up, giving him a curious, friendly look. He's well fed, well groomed, and eager to follow a person's voice, so I sat with him in a shaded spot until he calmed down. I know how nerve-wracking it is to lose a dog, so I'm hoping to help reunite him with his family—if you're the owner, email [email protected] with any identifying details or your dog's name or microchip info so I can get him back home soon.

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.
