Lost dog: tan-white beagle mix with blue collar
Description
I lost my tan-white beagle mix yesterday around 6pm. He bolted from our yard near the Diamond Jo Casino along the Dubuque riverfront, and I’ve been pacing the block ever since. He’s about 25 pounds, short-haired, with a blue nylon collar and a tiny round orange tag that says 'Rosie.' He has a white blaze on his chest and one ear that flops more than the other, plus a small scar above his left paw. I’m really worried—he’s a rescue and means a lot to us. If you spot him, email [email protected] and I’ll be right there to pick him up; we can arrange to meet at a safe location near Main Street or the riverwalk.

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.
